One Bite…The Ultimate Thin Crust PIZZA Tour On Oahu 🍕

One Bite…The Ultimate Thin Crust PIZZA Tour On Oahu 🍕

Hey guys welcome to my video. Today’s video is  about pizza. So not about the regular plate   lunches and restaurants I go to. Sometimes  you just want a good pizza. So we’re going to   try to cover most of the really good pizzas  on the island of Oahu. So today’s restaurant  

Is Brick Fire Tavern. That’s our first restaurant  we’re going to go to. They specialize in Neapolitan   pizzas. So if you’re wondering about parking,  there’s a lot behind it. We’re here early. It   opens in 10 minutes, but it’s kind of almost full  because the empty spots are reserved. So there’s only  

About two spots. Alright we got inside. There  was already people in line. It opens at 5:00 pm.   They take a break between lunch and dinner and  there was already a line and it wasn’t even open  

Yet. We got here 10 minutes early and so you  might want to make reservations. We did on Open   Table and it’s a Thursday. It’s not even a Friday.  So it’s pretty popular. It’s got a wood fire oven  

There that was built for them. So supposedly  two of the owners here went to Italy to study how   to make pizza. So that’s pretty cool. Apologies  for the audio but it kind of didn’t work for some  

Reason on this part of the film. So this is the Mamma  Mia. It is a pizza with soppressata, San Marzano tomatoes,   house pancetta, Mountain View Farm sausage, red  onion, a hot pepper medley, and mozzarella cheese.  

Upon getting it, it was very floppy and soggy in  the middle that all the toppings fell off. There   is nice leoparding on the bottom, but for some  reason the middle was very gummy and raw. And I  

Will say all the toppings were fabulous, but the  dough just didn’t do it for me. So if you can see   what I’m talking about, part of the crust is stuck  to the bottom and it’s all wet and almost like a  

Gluey mess. But like I said, the flavors are really  there. The toppings are great. I just wish the crust   was cooked a little better. Alright, our second  location – hopefully you can hear me it’s super  

Windy – is in Kapolei, on the west side. It’s Mad Bene.  They’re known for their Italian dishes, but they   also serve pizza. So let’s try it out. Here it is.  It’s right next to the Regal Theaters. Alright  

So they have a bunch of pizzas, but they also do  pasta as well. We’re getting the NYC Pizza, which   is basically their pepperoni pizza. They’ve got  a supreme with sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers,   and all that stuff, a mad garlic pizza, a cabonara,  hot honey one with sopressata and caramelized  

Onions – that sounds good – and your margarita pizza  with a basil, mozzarella, and tomato. But we just got   the pepperoni. So we’ll see what it’s about and the  waitress is super cool. So it’s a really nice spot  

Here. Plenty of parking right next to Regal Theaters  and their other restaurant that they own DB Grill.  We also did Cino in The Ward Center. They  also own that and look for that coming up. I  

Went with Terrence to that one and I’ll put the link  above once it’s released. Okay our pizza came out.   It looks amazing. Let’s check it out. So even  though it’s just a pepperoni, it’s got basil on   it and some shaved Parmesan. Oh all the stuff fell  off again. First impressions…stuff came off again  

Because it’s kind of floppy. There is not  much leoparding on the back, but the crust feels   very toasty and crispy. Lots of cheese pull so  that’s a good thing. The crust is really crispy.   It’s very thin, which I like. The end of the crust  super crunchy. I like that. They use the smaller  

Pepperonis though. I don’t really quite like those.  They’re okay. I like the bigger ones. The cheese is   good and even though it doesn’t have much leoparding,  on it it’s really crispy even though it flops  

And all the stuff falls off – the toppings. Still got  a nice crunch to it. Not as soggy as the last one.   I really like the spiciness of the pepperoni.  There’s also some fennel seeds on there. I love  

Fennel. The cheese is great and gooey. The crust is  crispy on the edges, on the back – the thick side. And   all in all a very good pizza. I am actually pretty  happy even though I prefer bigger pepperonis. The  

Basil gives it a good flavor and it’s a pretty  decent pizza. I give it a 8.5. Okay our third stop   is going to be J. Dolan’s, formerly known as JJ  Dolan’s. They’ve been here forever. They’re located  

On Bethel Street and I really enjoy this place. I  used to come here a lot. Alright, so I was going   to eat in the restaurant, but there is very loud  music and it’s quite dark in there. Although the  

Vibe is really cool. I’ve eaten there many  times and dined in at J Dolan’s. This is their   pepperoni slice. You can only get pepperoni or  cheese pizza if you’re going by the slice. If   you’ve tried their other pizzas they’re very  delicious as well. I enjoy them. So you can  

See that it’s pretty much a traditional East Coast  type of New York style or Boston pizza. Very, very, thin and it was made hot to order. Has some  pretty decent leoparding on the back, which is  

The markings of the oven. I did have to walk  to my car, but when they handed it to me it was   piping hot. It’s still hot but not as fresh.  It was probably much crisper when it came  

Straight out because this side’s getting cold. So it  probably would have gotten more stiff. I think so   far I’m not sure if you heard the crunch even  though it wasn’t as hot as it did come out of  

The oven it still had a little crunch at the  tip of the pizza, which is usually hard to do.   That’s when I told you about the previous places  where it flops and all the stuff comes off, this  

Is just perfect. It’s one of the better pizzas  in Hawaii in my opinion. I prefer this kind of   pizza – the New York kind of slice or East Coast  or Boston type of pizza. I don’t really like  

Thick crust pizza, but I’ll eat it, but I like  the crisp thin crust. And it is just really   thin how they make the dough. Even though it’s  a simple pizza, the pepperoni is very nice. It’s   got a nice spice to it. It’s a little greasy  but it’s expected of a pepperoni pizza because  

All the grease from the meat comes out. The  seasoning on top of it – there’s a little bit of   it seems Italian seasoning on the cheese. You  can see the specks of the herbs in there. So it  

Gives it a nice flavor and the cheese is really  nice. It has a really good saltiness to it. And   they’re using quality products and whoever makes  the dough this thin and cooks it well kudos to  

Them. Now I’m going to try the end of the crust  here. See how crispy it is because it looks pretty crisp. I think that there’s just enough sauce on  there. Not too much. It’s just not soaking up the crust  

And making it soggy. I think it’s really hard  to find really great pizza here in Hawaii.  Some people just are very casual and they’ll  just like a pizza no matter what. But I’m kind   of picky and this really suits my taste. It’s  comparable to Regina’s Pizzeria in the North  

End in Boston which is the best pizza I’ve ever  tasted. Not the ones in the mall if you’ve   been to Massachusetts. The actual location in the  North End. I think it’s the best pizza. And when you  

Crunch into that back crust here the end of the  crust it reminds me of their crust over there.   That crisp, charred, perfectly leopard crust. It’s  delicious. It’s almost like a cracker. And what’s   better is the service there. The girls there that  took my order super sweet. You know, gave me napkins.  

Really nice, let me sit down and wait for my food  instead of standing because I didn’t want to dine in.   So definitely check out J. Dolan’s. I think so far  this is the best pizza I’ve tasted in Hawaii  

Or Oahu anyway. So I give it a 9 out of 10. So  right down the road, if you go down to Nu’uanu from   J Dolan, is Pizza Mamo. And they’re kind of like a  trendy spot on Hotel Street serving up freshly  

Made pizzas. They make a Brooklyn / Neapolitan type  hybrid pizza and also a Detroit. I got both.   As slices, they used to have choices of slices, such  as pepperoni, their supreme…but now it’s whatever  

They offer and they only have two choices a day.  So I didn’t really get to pick. The pizza of the   day for the Brooklyn style was a mushroom pizza  and I saw the lone Detroit pizza. There was only  

One slice. I wasn’t really going to get it, but saw  it there lonely so I took it. They do have the   pizzas sitting on the counter so they are cold.  So you can ask to have it reheated, which I did  

And let’s check out the bottom of the  crust. Here’s the leoparding. There is some   flop. Not too bad. Pretty good. Everything  stays on it. Looks like they use a little   cornmeal on the bottom so it’s easy to slide  in and out of the oven. So let’s try the Shroom

Pizza. Let’s see, I took a menu so we can see  what’s on it. The Shroom Pizza has mushroom   cream, Wisconsin whole milk mozzarella, Pecorino  cheese, thyme, roasted mushrooms, Fontina cheese,   parsley, and garlic oil. I can definitely taste the  Fontina and the Pecorino. It’s a little bit more sharp  

Than just mozzarella. The crust is okay. It’s a  little bit crunchy, but I don’t know this is more for the people that want a thin crust but  a little bit more bounce and chew. Which   I’m guessing is probably coming from the  Neapolitan side of their hybrid Brooklyn  

Pizza. But it’s not crisp. It’s more of a  chewy crust. The cheese, for me, is   overpowering. Since I didn’t get a choice  this would not be my first choice anyway, but   you can definitely taste the mushrooms. It’s very  strong. So if you’re looking for a nice mushroom  

Pizza then you’re definitely going to get the  mushroom flavor. Let’s taste the back end of the crust. That was definitely good. It was nice, light,  and flaky and crunchy. So that’s a nice dough. I  

Think the middle part where the pointy part of  the pie is got a little soggy. So it’s not as   crisp but definitely a great crust at the end.  Like I said, if you’re being cheap like me and  

You’re just getting a slice, you don’t really get  to get a choice. It’s just whatever is offered   for the day, which was the Shroom pizza. So the  Detroit Pizza of the day is a sausage and pesto.  

And it’s a square type pizza that’s very thick  and bready and you can see that they top it with   some pesto and some marinara sauce and it’s  quite thick and bready. Alright so here goes nothing. It’s interesting because he did heat it  up, but then he put the pesto and the marinara  

Over it which is cold. So interesting contrast of  temperatures. The marinara is very delicious.   The pesto is as well. I didn’t get much sausage  or any I don’t know…meat. Let’s try again. Yeah   I’m not getting meat. I’m not getting meat. I don’t  know where the sausage is. Took like three bites.  

It’s definitely cheesy here. Maybe I’ll get  some meat. I see some and it’s very tiny. So, super   chang on the meat. I’m not sure if you can see  that, but it’s just those tiny little crumbs of  

Meat on there. So I will taste some. That’s how  tiny it is. Tastes good, but it’s so tiny it’s   like minuscule. Tastes like fennel sausage.  There’s this nice crust here on the end of the   burnt cheese. That’s nice. Not my thing though. I  wouldn’t say it’s my favorite, but that’s just  

A personal preference. I don’t really care for  too bready crusts, but if you’re into like a   French bread pizza and you like that kind of  thick crust then you’ll definitely like that   Detroit style pizza which is known for that  bready crust. I would say the Shroom Pizza…I  

Give it a six. It wasn’t that impressive and the  Detroit pizza for me personally I’d give it a   five. And another thing that kind of makes the  experience pretty crappy is the service was   terrible. The guy had a freaking attitude in  the front. He even had an attitude with the  

Girl making the pizza. You could see him talking  to her. A lot of eye rolling at me like you   didn’t want to be there and like you’re freaking  stupid. Looked at you…like that kind of look like   looking at you like you’re dumb. So I wouldn’t  go back there again to patronize them. Maybe  

If the food was exceptionally good I would  deal with it, but if you don’t like that kind of   attitude, which reminds me of the East Coast,  then you probably wouldn’t like their service.   So off to the next place. Alright we’re  here at Ili’Ili Cash and Carry. I did a video  

On them before. There’s a pretty big parking lot  here. So you can get parking. It’s off of Beretania   Street and they do great pizza slices. I did  a video and I’ll put the link above from before.

Alright so we’re here at Ili’Ili Cash and  Carry like I said. Got my pizza. So they sell   it by the slice if you don’t want to pay too  much. I will say their menu quite expensive. If  

You get a whole pizza it’s like $30 and 20 high  20s / $28 for a pie, which is kind of expensive. So   if you want a slice just for lunch come on down  here and they have all kind of different slices.  

I usually just go for pepperoni I’m pretty  simple, but they had all kinds. They even had a   oxtail pizza today. So it’s not what you think.  It’s not on the bone. They peel the oxtail off   and they put it on the pizza. But little too  pricey for me. That one was the pricier  

One. I think it was $12.50 a slice. So I just went  with the simple sausage and onions. They also have   basil pizza and eggplant and stuff like that if  you don’t eat meat. This one’s a little different.  

It’s more like a square pizza because the two sides  have the thick ends of the crust. And let’s   look at the bottom. Nice char there. So when  you get your slices, you can see it through the  

Little cabinet window and they’re not hot.  But he will heat it up for you when you pick   your slice. So let’s dig into it. I’m going to  cut it in half so I can actually get into the middle. Here we go.

Mmm that’s good. The sausage has so much flavor. Also  got that Italian sausage fennel taste. The crunch   of the onion – it’s not raw, but it’s cooked and  caramelized, but still has a little crunch. The   sauce is delicious. It’s not acidic. It’s not too  sweet. It’s just right. Although, even though it’s  

Thin on the bottom, it’s a little…it got a little  soggy. Probably from sitting in the window – you know   the display case. But if it was crispy on the  bottom that would be great, but it’s a little   bit gummy and doughy, but nothing too bad where  I would say it’s terrible. It’s pleasant  

But I think it would be a 10 rating if this  was crispy. So yeah a little bit different.   Perhaps when you order by the slice since  it’s already pre-made and has been sitting   there for a while but all in all the cheese is  delicious, the sausage is wonderful, very good and  

Delicious and the onions just compliment it.  Let’s try the end piece here and see how it tastes. That’s crispy and delicious. So I would  assume yeah if you got your whole pie the bottom   would be just as crispy as the ends has a  nice cracker feel to it. I like that. I  

Prefer that crunch and that lightness. Look at  all those air pockets in there. But I will say   the taste of the dough is a little bit different  for me. It’s not bad, but if I were to compare it  

To another pizza I like, I would prefer that  taste of the dough. But all in all, an excellent   pizza. What’s really great about this place too  is a service. The gentleman at the counter was   very wonderful and smiley and pleasant and that is  so much more refreshing from yesterday’s experience  

At Pizza Mamo. So kudos to that server. Thank  you for being friendly. You don’t have to kiss   anyone’s ass doing service. Just be a nice  human being and be pleasant. You don’t even have   to be super cheery. I mean just be a nice person.  that’s all a customer asks for. Also there is  

Plenty of parking here because when you’re on  Beretania Street, especially in town, it’s hard   to find parking. But they have their own lot and  it’s a lot of stalls so there’s no problem with   just coming in getting a slice. They heat it up  really fast and getting out of there within 10  

Minutes. I would give Ili’Ili Cash and Carry’s pizza  an 8.5. Okay our next location is Boston’s Pizza   in Aiea. They have a few other locations. I’m not  sure if it’s a franchise because there’s also one   in Kaimuki and such like that. There used  to be more locations but as time went on  

Some of them closed down. They’ve been around  since 1994. They call it Boston’s North End   Pizza and as you know, if you’ve been following me,  I lived in Massachusetts for a while and actually  

Went to the North End last March. So let’s  see if it lives up to the hype. I will say I have   tried it before. I think I’ve had it twice and  it was just okay. So let’s see if they can redeem  

Themselves. And I don’t remember it being the  same as pizza that you actually can get from   the North End. Okay so I got the pepperoni slices.  You can get all kinds. They have Supreme, they got   pepperoni and sausage, spinach and garlic, all kinds  of stuff. But I’m pretty much just trying to stick  

To pepperoni if they do have it. If they don’t,  such as the last place, I’ll do a sausage or a   different meat. But here’s the pepperoni. When you  ask for a slice here, they give you two. So you’re  

Going to get two no matter what. I don’t  know why they do that, but that’s quite generous   of them. I guess they could probably just give you  one slice for like $3 or like $4 like J Dolan’s  

Instead of charging you the price that they  charge you. But anyhoo, this is the pizza. How   thin it is. Not that thin compared to the pies  I’ve had in the east coast. There’s the back.   Let’s see about the leoparding. Not too much,  but there’s some browning on the bottom. It’s  

Got some cornmeal on there too. So I guess it’s  easier to slide in and out of the oven. When you   ask for a slice, they’re already pre-made, but  they reheat it for you. So it’s nice and piping hot. It’s okay…it doesn’t…it’s not terrible,  but it definitely does not taste like pizza  

From Boston or New York for that matter. The  marinara or the…if you want to call it a   pizza sauce, whatever you’re going to call it.  The tomato sauce is super sour for my liking.   It almost tastes straight out of the tomato  Hunt’s can. Yeah there’s no sweetness to it  

Either to balance it out, but I don’t like too  sweet either. But it’s really really acidic and   sour. I like how the crust crunches when you  bite into it. Didn’t have too much flop, you   know, but it doesn’t taste like…For my preference  again I like East Coast Pizza. It doesn’t taste like  

That. So if you’re looking for something in the  middle of it – of East Coast Pizza and just kind   of like a regular pizza but not too thick  you’d like it. But there’s something about  

The dough that I remember that I didn’t really  care for. The taste to me was a little off and   I don’t know if it’s because the tomato sauce is so  sour it’s just throwing everything off. It’s   not too greasy though, at least, considering it’s  pepperoni. It always leeches out a lot of grease.  

The pepperoni is good. It got really crisped  up in the oven. So you’ve got some crunchy bits but I also feel like they don’t put much  cheese on here. Like there’s very little cheese and  

Just a lot of sauce. Alright final thing is I’m  going to taste the end of the crust. The ends are   pretty good. They’re pretty crispy and crunchy as  you could hear and you know flaky like I like it.  

Almost like that cracker consistency. All in all a  pretty good pizza but it’s just kind of mid for me.   It’s just mediocre. I would give it a 5.5 out of 10.  Alright so I went to a place that’s fairly new  

It’s called Boconccino. It’s off of Kawaiaha‘o Street –  more on the Ward Avenue side. They make Roman   pizzas and if you see I took a bite out of it  because I was filming and then the card got  

I don’t know what do you call it corrupted. So I  have to redo this again. So this is the pizza   and it’s a Roman style pizza. I’ve never had it  before and basically I got the porcini mushroom  

With Italian sausage and if you see the white  stuff on there that’s the cheese. And it’s homemade   by the chef himself or the owner he makes this  type of cheese. I’m not going to butcher the name.  

I’ll put it on the bottom and I’ll also put the  pizza’s name on the bottom because I’m going to   butcher that too. But basically this is similar to  a mozzarella, but not quite. He also makes homemade  

Mozzarella cheeses and if you go inside the store  it’s almost like a little Italian Shop. It’s got   salamis and meats and cold cuts, olive oils, all  kinds of things, cakes, and he also sells both of   those cheeses that he makes there. So if you’re  looking for a good quality cheese go ahead and  

Try it. I’ve never had had a Roman pizza before. It  is an oval shape so it’s cut a little different.   But it doesn’t really have a flop. It’s pretty  hard on the bottom, which is a good sign for me.  

My preference. And good leoparding on the bottom,  which is the char. Taking a taste again. The cheese   is elastic like in a good way. It’s just that  like Buffalo mozzarella feel. Even though it’s   not mozzarella it has that same feel – that cheese  pull. It has a fresh milky taste. Really nice. The  

Tomato sauce isn’t too sour or acidic yet not too  sweet and artificial with sugar. Just right. The   mushrooms…I don’t know if they’re canned, fresh,  or reconstituted from being dried, but they’re   very chewy and meaty in taste. So it gives you  kind of that meat feel, but it’s I guess healthy.  

The only downside I see of this, is the Italian  sausage I see a lot of fennel sprinkled on it but   it just doesn’t have much flavor to me. I would  say Ili’Ili Cash and Carry’s sausage – whatever  

They’re using is amazing in flavor. This is very  dull and bland. The dough is crispy, yet this is a   little bit thicker than a regular New York or East  Coast pizza. About a few millimeters bigger, but not too  

Thick like a Pizza Hut type dough. And it’s pretty  good. It’s pretty interesting and I like everything   combined. It’s a very nice pie. I would however  suggest eating this right away while it’s hot  

Because you want that melty elastic cheese on there.  I’m going to try the back side of the end of the crust. Super nice and crunchy and flaky. That’s  what I prefer. I like that crunchy, crackery 

Dough. Except I don’t want want it too dry, which  it’s not. It still has a perfect balance of still   being dough-like but also being crispy. I like  the char from the oven. It’s pretty good. I like   it. I’ve never had a Roman pizza, like I  said and it’s very enjoyable. All in all  

A very good pizza. Very surprised and very…  you know it’s coming from an Italian person (the owner)   so it’s pretty authentic and delicious to me  to suit my taste and I would give it an 8.75.   Alright we’re here in downtown Honolulu  and we’re trying a place that my friend  

Said I have to absolutely try if I love J.  Dolan’s because it’s the former partner of   JJ Dolan when it used to be JJ Dolan. They had a  falling out and he now owns the Black Shamrock.   It is across from Murphy’s. So it used to  be O’Toole’s.

So let’s go check out their pizza. I love J. Dolan it’s the top one so far.  So let’s see if it’s any better or similar. Alright so I got my pizza. It is a  pepperoni. They’ve got other fancy ones like  

Kalua pig and cabbage. That’s interesting  or maybe that’s not pizza. I don’t know.   It says it’s all pizza. So it’s pretty much  all Pizza on the menu. Nothing else. So yeah   that’s pretty neat. They have a Jersey tomato  pie. So these are Jersey pies. So I’m excited  

To try them. Can’t go wrong with a Black and Tan.  It’s an Irish bar serving Jersey pizza. Alright we got our pizza and it looks amazing.  We were actually served by the owner right   out of the kitchen. Look at how thin this  is. I have a good feeling about this one

Man. Man that is some good pie. If you like East  Coast pies – it’s a Jersey pie – but you like Boston   pies, New York slices, this is it. Yes! Alright  hopefully you can hear me because the music’s really  

Loud and I hope I don’t get copyrighted, but let’s  try the end crust. Man, it’s cheesy. The pepperoni is   delicious. Look at all the Italian seasonings on  there. Super crunchy, so thin, amazing. Let me grab  

Another one. It has a flop, has got nice leoparding,  but it’s foldable. Look at that. So I’m going to   give it a David Portnoy 9.2. The highest score so  far. Hopefully we’ll find something else better. Who  

Knows? Alright we’re going to try a place called  Uncle’s New York Deli and Pizza. It’s across from   Scofield Barracks. Right next to Kemo’o Pub.  This is their pizza. You get two slices of this, but I don’t want to take it out. It’s quite greasy  looking and it’s already leaking through the bag.  

But two slices of this. This is freaking huge!  So it does flop a lot. It’s freshly made for you   and heated up. Even though it’s floppy, nice  crunch, some pretty good leoparding on the back,   the pepperonis crisped up really nice. So it has  that crunch sometimes, but not burnt. The cheese  

Is good. So hard because the dough is fabulous.  It’s what I’m looking for in a East Coast type   pizza or my style that I prefer. But the only  thing that makes it not so good is the sauce is  

Super sour. It’s a very strong tomato sauce flavor.  Almost like Boston’s. Just like out of the tomato   sauce can. No seasoning, no Italian seasoning, just  really off-putting. So it doesn’t totally make   the pizza terrible. The cheese and pepperoni are  great. The dough makes it top notch. So I’ll give it  

A 8.4. I think that’s a fair score. A little under  Ili’Ili Cash and Carry and Bocconcino because   everything was balanced in that. But yeah if  you’re looking for something similar, just the  

Sauce is just a tad off, but the dough is fabulous.  You can try this place out. It’s not bad. 8.4 is not   a bad score at all. Alright so if you’re saying,  “Misty you’re in the area of Schofield, why didn’t  

You do Oldtown Pizzeria in Wahiawa?” Well I am here. I  came here. I made a loop around because it’s close. I was   actually excited. They were on my list for a while.  They’re super nice. Nothing wrong with that, but  

Kind of strange it doesn’t make sense to me. But  she explained there’s no slices if they’re not busy. I thought they   were sold out because a lot of Army folks come  here for lunch and it’s after lunch hours. They  

Said they would make one for me – a pizza, but it  would take 20 minutes. I don’t have that kind of   time. I got to go. And then the strange thing  she said if you come back next Monday just let  

Me know and I’ll make it, which is very sweet of  her, but it’s Monday. (?) So I have to wait a week? And   I don’t have that kind of time. I’m making videos  as you know. So nothing wrong with that. I’m just  

Addressing if you’re wondering why didn’t you hit  that pizza place that’s the reason. Alright so   this is our final stop. Very long video. Apologies.  If you’re not interested you probably wouldn’t   have made it this far anyway, but if you’re really  into pizza and looking for a great pizza hopefully  

This video helps you. If you’re wondering why  didn’t I co cover Girabaldi’s Little G’s, we   did a video there a long time ago when they first  opened. I’m going to put the link above. The reason  

I didn’t go there – I wanted to include him into the  pizza episode -but he he is closed all February   because they are renovating his shop and hopefully  he comes back bigger and brand new. So go  

Check out their pizza. I do like their pizza and he  makes some pretty creative ones and he’s from New   York as well. So today our last stop is in Hawaii  Kai. It’s called Repetti’s and it is in the shopping  

Center with Safeway and Longs and McDonald’s. So  it’s after the one with Costco on Keahole Street.   They are a restaurant. I read on their website –  I don’t know how true it is or what not – but  

This is from their website that they had a shop, a  pizza shop on Prison Street in Lahaina. And I guess…   I’m assuming it’s gone and now they opened up  an Italian restaurant. Same owners or something   like that here in Hawaii Kai. It’s an Italian  restaurant where you can sit down enjoy some pasta  

And good eats inside or outside by the marina, but  they do do pizza and they do do slices all day   she said. I called them and I’m hoping this  is good. Customer service was very nice. Nice guy  

Up front, very patient, came out within 5 minutes. The slices are pretty affordable. This is it.   It was wrapped up in foil to keep it hot. Very  nicely put together for takeout anyway.   So yeah this is interesting…it kind of looks  like frozen pizza off hand with that cheese, but  

You never know. I’m not going to judge it off of  looks. Smells good. It seems you got your regular   cheese that usually comes with the pizza, looks  like what it’s supposed to I guess. And then   you got some more mozzarella over here, and  the pepperoni looks interesting. Kind of looks  

Like…just to be honest not to knock it till I  taste it, the Hormel kind you get from the store   to make your own pizza at home. The crust though  looks really nice. Alright let’s check out the   undercarriage so my friend Frank says. So it’s  there there’s a little bit of leoparding, but not  

Much. I mean it’s just a little bit of dark  spots little bit there. Some flop, but it is   foldable. You can hear the crunch. Really crispy.  Same thing, what I’m looking for. Crispy cracker-  

Like, but the inside of the crust is still soft.  It’s not like a dry mess. It still has chew to it. This is…I’m surprised. I thought the last  one was going to just suck. I’m going to  

Give it…it’s one of the top ones, but it still  does not beat my top one Black Shamrock. That   was the best I’ve tasted here on this island.  So if I gave Bocconicino an 8.75, I’m going to give  

It an 8.9. That’s how good this is. So if you’re  in the Hawaii Kai area and you’re looking for   an East Coast thin crust pizza similar to a New  York style or a Jersey pizza or a Boston Pizza  

This is it. They also have cheese pizza. So it’s…  I think he said it’s $2 or I forgot what he   said. So they sell it as a cheese pizza slice and  you can add toppings to it for $2. So I added just  

One topping and that was the pepperoni but the  more you add the more expensive it’s going   to be. You can also add some toppings that  are like extra fancy like Riccotta and stuff like   that. So all in all a pretty good pie. So that  was pretty much my pizza compilation. If you’re  

Wondering and complaining about “You could go  to Costco or Sam’s Club for cheaper or Pizza Hut   or whatever.” That is not about that. They  all have their own purpose if you’re looking for   a cheap meal. But this is actually looking for a  good East Coast type pizza. I threw that Detroit  

In there because it looked lonely and I just  ordered it, but that was terrible anyway. So   not my style, but if you did try something on  this list and you enjoyed it leave a comment.  

If I did not like it and you enjoyed it, leave your  comment. I’d like to hear your thoughts. All   of our tastes are subjective. So it’s interesting  to hear different people’s opinions. And hopefully   if you got this far, thank you so much for  actually sticking around and watching it and  

Hopefully this helps you if you’re looking for  a really good pizza that’s kind of like a New   Jersey, New York, or more Boston style thin  crust. Aactually some of these pizza slices   are not very expensive. Like J. Dolan was around  four bucks I believe. This one is three or two.  

I’ll put the prices on there. The actual price.  so you can see and then $2 for toppings. So you   know you can find some pretty inexpensive pizza  slices. It’s not that expensive to have a little   bit more of a gourmet crust and cheeses and  etc. So thank you for watching this very long  

Video and to everybody that always watches and  comments I really appreciate you. Like this   if you liked it and it was helpful, subscribe if  you’re new, and I’ll see you again on another food   adventure. Take care everybody, have a wonderful  weekend and I’ll see you next time. Peace out. 🍕🌺🌈✌🤙

This was a quest for the best East Coast style pizza (NY, NJ, Boston) on the island of Oahu. This compilation took three weeks to finish. Hope it is helpful if you are craving some great thin sliced pizza. If you know of a place here that sells New Haven Apizza, then I’m all over it! I haven’t found that here yet.

If you’re wondering why I didn’t go to other places like Big Kahuna’s, Magoo’s, Amina’s, etc…that is not the pizza I was looking for and their crust and style is in a whole ‘nother category.
