Cafe Pesto's Italian brick oven burns many bushels of ohia and kiawe wood to turn out its toothsome pizzas, topped with fresh organic herbs and island-grown produce. The high-ceilinged 1912 room looks out over Hilo's bay. It's difficult to resist the wild mushroom-artichoke pizza or the chipotle and tomato-drenched Southwestern. But go with the Four Seasons, dripping with prosciutto, bell peppers, and mushrooms -- it won't disappoint. Some of my other favorites are the Milolii, a crab-shrimp-mushroom sandwich with basil pesto; the chile-grilled shrimp pizza; and the flash-seared poke and spinach salad.
