Friends have told me about Maipai for years and I finally decided to check it out… I wish I had sooner. The pizza was some of the best I’ve ever had. The drinks were great and the price was fair.

The ambience is very warm and authentic. But the main feature of this place is its food quality. The food and drinks are not great but exceptional. Don't let the "the food is good but not great" guys in the reviews to misguide you. They...serve the best pizza and wings in all over Canada. In addition, the cocktails are to-die-for. I sometimes travel all the way from Toronto to Hamilton just for this bar. Deserves more than 5 stars.More

I'm so pleased to see this place in the Hammer! Having grown up in Hamilton, the Barton St. East neighbourhood definitely feels a bit sketchy, but MaiPai is a wonderful surprise. A very vibey scene, easily the match of hot Toronto places, and the owner(s)...has/have gone all-in on the Tiki bar neon decorating; I had just been to Meow Wolf Santa Fe immersive art exhibit in the US the week before and it's hard to tell those pictures apart from our dinner at MaiPai on my photo roll. (I particularly like the blinking spam wall.) The cocktails are super cute for presentation, but to my mind, not the highlight. The Detroit-style pizzas are spectacular! The Secret Pickle pizza might be my favourite pizza anywhere. The huge chicken wings are also outstanding as starters, particularly the Korean-inspired Buffalo ones with gochujang butter. Even the waffle fries are way better than you'd expect for a standard side. I really appreciate that this is a restaurant that knows what it does really well, and just sticks to that. We've been twice for birthday parties and it's emerged as our unanimous choice for those kind of events. Highly recommend!More

Omg.. this pizza is amazing! I've been making my own pizza for 30 years and I can't come close to this pizza... I don't know what they do to this crust but it is outstanding!.. I ordered the Supreme and the tomato sauce was so...homemade and fresh not like any other restaurant pizza I've ever had. My friend ordered the dill pickle pizza which I thought sounded gross but it was so delicious fresh dill and a delicious garlic Mayo on it never would have thought of a dill pickle pizza but I would definitely order it next timeMore

Great food, funky drinks, and the tiki theme inside was fun and totally different. We have already booked another reservation to go with family for a birthday. This place is a must to go to!

WOW, this place blew me away and lived up to the hype! We unfortunately could not dine in and enjoy the cool Tiki atmosphere due to Covid lockdown, but we did their Family Deal on Sunday's for $50 which was outstanding... a true "Foodie" experience...which fed my family of four with two slices of pizza leftover! You can choose ANY large pizza, which normally isn't the case with these types of deals. We came for the Detroit Style pizza as this new style of pizza is out of this world, hard to find, and done well. We had the Chicken Bacon Ranch which was AMAZING (can't wait to try the others), it came with "out of this world" Parm Fries, your choice of high-end, BIG chicken wings with Foodie flavors... we went with Soy Caramel which delivered big time, finished off with a tasty gourmet salad with dried mango. Outstanding service and a super easy ordering process online made this a perfect experience for us. We drove all the way from Burlington and were not disappointed! Make sure you order a day ahead of time to ensure they have space for your order.More
