Thank you Tim P. for organizing!
Got to play some nerdy trivia while enjoying the great company of Unilocal Honolulu!

Then we headed over to Bubbies for some more pi!
Multiple orgasm!
No one can resist the mochi ice cream!
Looking forward to March 14 now!

Oh, mama mia, a UYE event at a Pizzeria! I’m totally down for that. Stellar, Unilocaler, Tim P. was a great host in gathering us Unilocalers to honor PI day.
Unilocalers from far and near gathered at Bellia Mia on Bertania St. Tim P. had it all set up with cool settings to take home (compass and Unilocal swag). He even quizzed us on some math trivia, which I epic-​ally failed at. When he started on some Unilocal trivia I knew I had a spiting chance.
To end our carbohydrate feast, we walked on over with baby stroller and all to Bubbies, to gain more happy weight. It was a night full of good fun and great fun :)
~Yelper Shout Outs~
Tim P.- Thanks for putting this all together and being such an awesome host. I look forward to the next one.
Emi H.- Thank you for the laughs and more Unilocal swag. I can never get enough.
Susan F.- Thanks for jumping into no Unilocaler left behind mode and ensuring we were sitting with the group.
Yvonne & Ryan M– It was nice to finally meet the two Unilocalers who have been dictating my supposed baby cravings. My two sons and fun playing with your son :)
Chuggy Bear– It was interesting to find out how you got the name and the secret to Zippy’s consistent food: o Thanks for the M & M’s too. I needed that when I had to drive back through one lane traffic all the way back to Ewa. Your shirt was coolio!
Ed L.- Because of your inspiring stories of running marathons all across the nation, I’ve added running a marathon on to my bucket list. What’s the best one to do in Hawaii?
Brian M.- Too bad I didn’t get to meet you face to face. Hopefully at the next event.
Gary N.- Thanks for chatting with me on our walk back to the car. You always have a HUGE smile on your face that could brighten up anyone day.
Pua P.-It’s always nice to see your gorgeous face.
Thomas O.- I Unilocal you! ;)
People you gotta make it a point to try out one of these Unilocal events. C’mon, who doesn’t have fun when food, booze, candy, free Unilocal swag is involved?

Tim P. is always a gracious host and is dedicated to throwing a great UYE. I really appreciate that he makes sure that everyone is included and has fun. It’s always such fun that like the last Pi Day he has a trivia game, prices and Unilocal schwag.
The outdoor venue was a nice touch, very alfresco. The staff were friendly and gracious, though I’m sure they made sure to be since they had a hoard of Unilocalers drinking! Not a fan of their food and didn’t make it to Bubbie’s because of a line that was spilling out to the parking lot which I kind of regret. Still hanging out at dive bar literally next door with Susan F., Les M., Brian M. and Jayson N. was just as fun I’m sure.
The Ke Ke key lime pie was the icing on the top. Thank you Tim P. for being so generous and being such a fabulous Pi Day host once again!

Fun, small (less than 30 people) UYE in my neighborhood! Good to finally meet some Unilocal friends! Had a sample of pizza from someone, and the stromboli. Took about half of it home, very big and good value. A bunch of us went to Bubbie’s Ice Cream after. Very casual and laid back event, I look forward to the next one!

Thanks for planning a fun event Timothy P. When we heard PIZZA, we had to stop by! This was my first UYE! I came with my husband, Ryan M., our son and Todd S. We were able to finally meet some of the great Elites & reviewers that frequent Unilocal & of course Emi!
The PIZZA FRIES rocked, MEAT LOVERS PIZZA was decent, and the STROMBOLI was humangous! BYOB-​Key Lime Shots, beer, and wine lined the table ;) Charming little outdoor area at BELLA MIA. Cute compass favors, pens, candies, Unilocal goodies, and games!
Thank you all for being so cool with us at our first event! And thanks also to Kim C. (my pregnant buddy who came ready with a non-​alcoholic Margarita mix)! My son had fun playing with your kids! I look foward to meeting more peeps from Unilocal and trying new foods, places, and services!

What a great way to kick off my first UYE. I knew this was going to be my first one the minute I seen Timothy P post it. I just couldn’t pass up on this opportunity. Trying a new restaurant, Pizza, BYOB, and meeting fellow Unilocalers for the first time. What’s not to love about any of those things. We were one of the first to arrive and was quickly greeted by Timothy, Thomas and Pua. As soon as we sat down everyone else started to arrive. It was great to finally meet everyone in person. By the time I was finished meeting everyone I was Unilocal Star Struck by everyone’s presence.
It didn’t take long before our server came to take our orders. We ordered the meat lovers pizza, stromboli and pizza fries. Pizza fries are a genius idea! Stromboli was delicious and the meat lovers pizza was just okay but the main thing is that it had bacon. You know how people use the term «Sugar Coat».well they should change it to «Bacon Coat».
We were located at the outside patio which was pretty cool. We sat on 3 wooden picnic benches that we connected together to make a really long table. Our form of lights were Christmas lights. Perfect for Christmas in July. Best part about it was that we had the whole place to ourselves. It felt like a party in someone’s backyard. Bella Mia’s backyard that is.
Thank you to Timothy P for making this great event and also for the Key Lime shots. Good thing wife my wife (Yvonne M) is pregnant and can be the designated driver. Otherwise my 7 year old son would have had an early driving lesson.*Just Kidding* no lesson is needed. he is pretty good at driving on Mario Kart.
Thank you to Emi for all that you do as CM, making us feel welcomed, and for all the goodies that you gave us.
Thank you to Kim C for allowing my son to play with your sons and for sharing your non tomato sauce spaghetti with my son. My son was a very happy kid that night which allowed us to truly enjoy this event. Can’t thank you enough for that.
Thank you to everyone else who was there for making us feel welcomed. Sorry we couldn’t make Bubbies but I hope to see you all again at one of the next events. Until then though, SYOY!

Dear Unilocalicorn (aka Tim P):
Is there anything that you cannot do? You can turn from man to unicorn in a single bound, and you do it with style! Damn son. That’s tight!
XOXO,
Emi H
Your devoted partner in pi
Tim’s bi-​annual Pi day UYEs have turned into grand gatherings that I look forward to with eager anticipation! What is a Pi day party you ask? Well…
We all get together on a day which equals pi (3.1472…) such as ³⁄₁₄ or ⁷⁄₂₂ and eat pizza or dessert pies! Basically, it’s an excuse for Unilocalers to get together and get fat… but in our defense, we do it to all in the name of mathematics!!!
For this special occasion, Tim chose the beautiful outdoor patio at Bella Mia. I’d never been there and actually found it to be lovely little spot that’s casual, yet romantic in a ‘Bridges of Madison County’ kind of way. (Romantic = That’s what you say when the lights on the patio aren’t working) New Elites Ryan & Yvonne were kind enough to share a slice of their pizza with me and Dan O (who I was also meeting for the first time) was so sweet to offer me a slice of his gigantic strombolli! That thing was bigger than my head!
After we had dinner, we played pi, math and Unilocal trivia! Ordinary people play 20 questions, we played 314 questions! Everyone took turns asking questions to the group and the winners got bags of M&Ms (which just happen to weigh 3.14 oz), shots of Ke Ke key lime flavored liquor and some Unilocal sunnies. So basically EVERYONE was a winner and we had a blast!
Pi day continued with a jaunt to Bubbies (with a short stopover at Da Falafel King) where we ordered ice cream pies, mochi ice cream, banana splits and peanut butter chocolate shakes. Needless to say, I now look like I am part pi (e) and am now pregnant with the Unilocalicorn’s baby. It’s an ala mode apple pie and we’re going to eat him at the next Pi day gathering!
Unilocal 365 Challenge: #282/​365 (The Pi Day Tradition)

This was my 1^st UYE event that I have attended… All I can say is that I think all of you guys are really awesome! I finally met Emi (You are full of Joy and energy!)and bunch of super cool Elites, I had a great time!
Bella Mia Thank You for your warm bread with the marinara dipping sauce and the delicious pizza that I ordered!
Nothing beats great company along with a little (alcohol…yeah in somebody’s mind)…
There are so many good people that make this group so fun to be with and I didn’t mention, but I can say that… without you guys there wouldn’t be a «Yelp Hawaii» !

I’m learning to be a more sociable Unilocaler these days and attending this UYE is another step forward in doing just that. It was a fun social atmosphere that was pretty awesome. There was about 25 people attending and it was an evening to remember. Located at the Bella Mia Pizzeria, this Pi Day event of 2012 was great to end the weekend. Good food and good friends and all things Unilocal.Kudos to Tim P for organizing this shindig and it was a good place to try a new place when I pass by this place on the way to work every morning.
It was a casual atmosphere, where I met the most Unilocaliest of friends. Met new friends while dining with friends whom I have come to love and admire through their Unilocal adventures. Finally got to meet up with Pua P, which was awesome. The only thing that was interesting, was that we were seated outside the restauant, which basically was a few benches decorated with plates and party favorites. The old skool compass we had used in our high skool math days was promenant and that made me smile. I kept referring to it as a protractor, but I realized thereafter that it wasn’t a protractor. The other thing Tim P mentioned was about the M&M’s he bought which was in sync with the Pi theme of the night. I thought that was great and some sort of genious on his part.
Having no lights made turned out to be the best thing that added to the fun and comeraderie of the night. I thought we needed lights, but it turned out to be quite festive and fun at the same time. The set up was cute, almost like a group picnic vibe going on, but I enjoyed it and had a blast. Thanks to Russell, who brought a bottle of red wine to the party. I didn’t know it was BYOB, but it was all good. I actually had the lasanga and some house bread for my evening meal, instead of pizza. I thought the lasanga could have been better and the house bread tasted buttery and similar to what McDonald’s serves in their big breakfast, but that’s just me.
After Bella Mia’s, we walked on over to the Bubbie’s ice cream shop on University Ave. We got there and there was a massive line. I got to chat with Chuggy Bear about stuff, and it was good conversation about the Chicago Marathon and other things. We eventually got in there and hung out, but not before CM Emi H ordered dinner from the nearby Falefai King. I may need to go there and try out Greek food sometime. Other than that, it was a fantastic evening that capped off a good weekend. I would like to be more active in the social Unilocal scene for sure. Looking forward to the next one!
Viva Unilocal!
