The State of Hawaii is the 50th state admitted to the United States, and is composed of hundreds of islands with a grouping of eight main islands. Of the main islands, O\u2019ahu is the most populous by far having just short of one million population within 596.7 sq. miles.<\/p>\n

O\u2019ahu is the location of several US military bases including the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and Schofield Barracks Army installation.<\/p>\n

O\u2019ahu\u2019s north shore boasts many dazzling beaches, and is considered to be the surfing Mecca of the world. The north shore \u2018country\u2019 features the famous \u2018Banzai Pipeline\u2019 which is the location of the annual Billabong Pipeline Masters competition. The north shore is the home of the 2016 World Surf League (WSL) champion John John Florence. John John was the youngest surfer so far to compete in the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing at age 13. There are a number of tributes to his accomplishments both formally and in the form of graffiti found along the Kamehameha Highway in and around
\nHaleiwa.<\/p>\n

In years past, O\u2019ahu\u2019s north shore was also home to extensive sugar cane and pineapple farming and processing. Sugar cane production ended in the late 1960\u2018s but the first Dole pineapple plantation and processing plant founded in 1851 still operates in Wahiawa. A small portion of the Dole plantation is now a tourist attraction and offers visitors tours by train and samplings of the sweet and silky \u2018Dole Whip\u2019 frozen pineapple treat.<\/p>\n

Nearby Waialua was the former location of Hawaii\u2019s largest sugar cane mill; a small portion of the old mill stands today but most of it has been demolished. During the peak of sugar production, workers were brought in from China, Portugal, Japan, Korea, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and other areas. When Hawaiian sugar production was ended, the majority of these workers remained and this has caused O\u2019ahu’s north shore to have a diverse ethnic population.<\/p>\n

It could be argued that pizza is one of the foods that seem to appeal to all ethnicities. A new north shore restaurant, \u2018Jerry\u2019s Pizza Mill\u2019, has opened in Waialua near the former sugar processing plant to satisfy the pizza cravings of the locals (and tourists).<\/p>\n

As you might expect, Jerry\u2019s offers a large menu of the classic pizza styles, and proudly offers a unique Waialua pizza which is topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, olive, tomato and garlic. Also on the bill-of-fare is an Arugula pizza with fresh arugula and sun-dried tomatoes for a healthy alternative. Of course you can still order the Hawaiian style tropical pizza generously topped with pineapple and ham.<\/p>\n

Jerry\u2019s have \u2018dessert pizzas\u2019; banana and cinnamon or strawberry and chocolate versions are available.<\/p>\n

In addition to offering great thin crust pizza, handmade pasta, hot and cold sandwiches, Coca-Cola products and BYOB for adult beverages, Jerry\u2019s has a game room that includes the three pinball games listed previously.<\/p>\n

All of the games are in good to excellent condition with no defects found during our play. I felt that the games were set a bit \u2018easy\u2019 with quite achievable free game and match thresholds.<\/p>\n

Along with the pinball games there is a driving game, a claw machine and something called \u2018throw to win\u2019 (?) that I couldn\u2019t quite figure out, available in the game room.<\/p>\n

Most weekends Jerry\u2019s Pizza Mill offers live entertainment on the stage area which opposes the game room.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed our visit to Jerry\u2019s with the kids and grandkids – we hope if you are visiting O\u2019ahu that you will give Jerry\u2019s a try also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
