cut in half slices
Rachel B.

Canio's Pizza serves larger than average slices, so while they are a bit on the pricey side, they are also substantial enough to share. We ended up cutting our slices in half, and they made a great snack for two. When we visited, there were four slice options available: cheese, pepperoni, white, and a meat pizza with onions. The flavors were all enjoyable, although a couple of the slices were a little saltier than I would have preferred. One thing I really appreciated was the crust. It had a nice texture, and the pizza was not overly greasy, which made it much more enjoyable than your typical grab and go slice.

I enjoyed trying the pizza at Canio's. The service was friendly and I loved that I could get pizza by the slice. Also, I was specifically wanting white pizza and they have white pies--perfect! There are just a few seats in the front of the building so you may want to take your pizza just a little further and go to the beach to chow. My partner got the pepperoni and he really enjoyed it (sorry, in the pic there's a bite out of the crust--he did that, it wasn't served that way!) I found the pizza to be fresh, flavorful, and worth the walk over from my building. The crust was just thick enough and the pepperoni was not greasy, nor was my white pie overly cheesy. Just enough toppings, just enough crust, great interpretation of NY style pizza here on O'ahu.

It was super easy to walk in and order a couple of fresh slices. The shop is nice, new, and clean and they provide convenient seating outside so you can enjoy your pizza fresh out of the oven. I ordered a slice of cheese and a slice of white and was happy to wait just 6 minutes for a fresh white pizza to come out of the oven. I boxed my 2 slices and took them home. Both slices were really good. The cheese slice had a flavorful tomato sauce and good cheese topping. Likewise, the white slice was tasty with a generous mix of cheeses and sauce. The price was $14 for the two slices which is worth it because you can taste the quality of the ingredients they use.

Cheese pizza with basil

Mamma Mia! The best! I put a lot of chili flakes because I'm a hot pepper - you can add condiments to the taste. Delicious - will only come to Waikiki for this. Come to Waiks and stay for Canio's Pizza.

This is hands down the best ny style pizza in all of Oahu. I've tried many spots and this place nailed it. Incredible friendly staff and service. The place is a small hole in the wall spot in Waikiki. Easy to park by the zoo and walk 5 min to the spot. The pizza was perfectly crispy, and almost no flop at all. The ingredients seemed high quality, and they reheat the slices for you when you purchase. I'll definitely be coming back.

Pizza smallish pie.

My experience wasn't bad. I ordered a slice of cheese and it tasted good but nothing special. If anything it was over baked. It folded and the bottom was crispy like New York thin crust pizza. The dough was a bit chewy not light and airy like NY. The slice size was from a less than full sized pie. It was NOT oversized and for the price, which ranges from $6 to $8 you would expect a larger size slice. In New York City, where everything cost way more than Hawaii, a slice ranges from $3 to $5 dollars and a full pie $18 to $22. It doesn't appear that you can buy a whole pie; which sucks because one slice doesn't fill a normal person. Other than the over priced issue the pizza was on the well done side. Burned in some places. Nothing special but not bad either.

Small outdoor area to eat

Great little pizza joint. Serves large slices. Decent prices. We stopped in our first night in Hawaii because it's a close walk from the hotel and we were definitely pleased. Friendly staff, great pizza.

I had a pepperoni slice. Pepperonis were mini-sized and there were plenty of them on the slice. The crust was thin and the outer rim where you hold it was crispy. I liked that there was just enough cheese because that's what I was in the mood for.

Fast service. Inexpensive informal bite where there are so few cheap quick places to eat. And the pizza was delicious.

Great hole in the wall pizza joint but super legit. Love they sell slices into tire night. Slices are a nice NY style thin and crisp.

My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
