IMO: I tried Boogie Woogie 4 times and it was always bad for one reason or another...or many. If we did manage to get it on time (by pick up) the sauce is simply too sweet, the crust just ok and the whole pie is barely passable. I would rather time my pizza cravings for a Hilo run to either Big Island Pizza or Pizza Hawaii. Or make it myself.
We frequently meet with friends at our home and one or the other will go out of our way to Hilo to bring a pizza as opposed to the closer Boogie Woogie. It can't compare and is worth the extra trouble...sadly. I wish there was a better option closer.
I love Paulo's for other Italian food and haven't had a pizza there yet, but I know instinctively (as an Italian), that it would be better than my other choice in Pahoa. I plan to order there next time I want one...until something else comes up.
I don't think anyone should settle for "OK" pizza but I also am aware the others like chain and frozen pizza for convenience. Personally, I do not care for the additives and unnatural ingredients. The timing is not as important as the finished product for me.
It all comes down to a matter of preference but I wish our local pizza was better than it is.
