Piha Aloha

Hawaiian-style BBQ food truck and full-service catering out of Newport News — kalua pig, laulau, Hawaiian BBQ beef and chicken, ahi poke, Spam musubi, butter mochi, haupia — plus private events, pop-ups, and Polynesian-culture lūʻau across Hampton Roads.

Lito Carlos and Kristy Carlos (Owner & Founding Partner) run Piha Aloha from Newport News: a trailer kitchen and a catering book with pan orders and waitstaff. Kalua pig smoked with tea leaf, banana leaf, and sea salt; laulau steamed for hours; plates that travel from the Peninsula to Williamsburg and Norfolk.

They bring the truck to pop-up lūʻau — Luau and Lagers at Frothy Moon in Williamsburg, Alohalauleʻa with Afterglow Brewing, Mini Hawaiian Luau at Copper Fox Distillery — and they partner with music and dance for a full night. Lito told WYDaily: “Our family are from the islands and to be able to share the Aloha Spirit is a honor and a privilege.”
