    At the Honolulu Farmers Market
    Walter H.

    Stopped at the Honolulu Farmers Market on Wednesday evening. Had to stop and get a margarita pizza from Fatto A Mano! Some of the best Pisa in town! The workers are friendly and the food is great! So happy to support a local business!

    Found this gem while walking around the kakaako farmers market. Coming from NJ, I have really low standards for pizza over here. I kept walking passed it but I was craving hot food and wasnt willing to wait in the long lines for the breakfast burgers. I ordered the mini marg and it was like the light in me that died when I moved was re-lit. I wish I had gotten the regular size because I was craving more when it was over.

    Pepperoni Playboy

    Probably my favorite pizza right now. You cannot go wrong with the pepperoni playboy or the fungo. I'm sure the other options are equally delicious, but those are my go-tos. The sauce is perfect and the texture of the crust is soooo goooood. I usually don't finish the crust on my pizzas, but Fatto A Mano is definitely an exception. It's so crispy on the edges and nice and chewy throughout. They don't have a brick and mortar, so you'll have to find them at the farmers market or when they do occasional pop-ups in Kaimuki. They have 2 sizes and the small is pretty small. I can easily eat two of them myself--also because they're so delicious. I do want to try the Margherita next. If you see them at the local farmers market, make sure you give 'em a try. They're made to order, so you'll have to be a little patient, depending on how busy they are. It usually takes about 10 minutes. Such a simple pizza but amazing.

    "Pepperoni Playboy" - Pepperoni, fresh motz
    Rod U.

    2021 Food and Wine's best pizza in Hawaii. Believe the hype. The dough, highly glutinous with the telltale hint of fermentation from a slow rise. The crust, perfect thickness. Bubbled, blistered and charred in all the right ways from its short cook in a 900+ degree wood fired oven. Hints of sweet smoke and charred bitter notes. Crisp, puffy and chewy all at once. The sauce, solid. Taste the tomatoes. Great acidity with ripe tomato sweetness. The toppings, simple, fresh in the proper proportions. Locally made sausage, fresh motz. Special mention for the pepperoni that cooks to perfection in the blistering heat AKA cups of pep fat with crisp edges. Small (aprox 6") or large (aprox 12"). Get a large ($17) per person. You're welcome. Pies cook in less than three minutes. The line moves fast. Tip: Consume ASAP for best quality. If it drops to room temp, a five second burst per slice in the microwave brings it back to life. Available at farmers markets only. Follow on IG for their schedule. Easily the best artisan pie I've had in Hawaii.

    Margherita pizza

    After coming across Fatto A Mano's instagram page, I was excited to give them a try the next time I was at the Kakaako Farmers Market. When I came across their stall at the market, I was excited to see they use a legit fire oven for their pizza. Their prices were also really reasonable for the size of the pizzas, especially considering the quality. I got a mini, which is the perfect size for one person. I tried the Margherita pizza and the Fungo pizza, which had mushrooms and ricotta cheese. Whenever I eat pizza, there are two main things I judge it on: the crust and the sauce, both of which were superb. The crust was soft and chewy, and the sauce was tasty and well-made. The ingredients all tasted very fresh too (the mushrooms on my Fungo pizza were AMAZING). The ricotta cheese on the Fungo was also loaded on and super thick. Overall, you could tell the pizza was well-made and packed with flavor. The Margherita was definitely my favorite, mainly because of the tomato sauce. I'm excited to visit them again at the farmers market and try even more flavors!

    This is the pizza place you're looking for!

    Fresh made to order pizza! Fresh ingredients, epic hand tossed dough crispy chew crust, made with Aloha! Discovered at the Sunday Kailua Farmers Market! I'm a regular customer now, seeking them out each Sunday for my take home lunch. Really great pizza that delivers the flavors that make your taste buds dance and gives your tummy the loving romance! My favorite combo is the Pepperoni Playboy with mushrooms & extra cheese! Great friendly pizza crew that serves up fantastic pizza!

    One of the best pizzas I've ever had. The special was so tasty. I forgot to take a picture of the name of it but ingredients included honey and vodka. The service was quick! Only 5 minutes but of course that time there wasn't a line. This was at the kakakaako farmer's market and we went around 11am. I guess it may be less busy than earlier in the morning. But anyway, back to the pizza! The subtle sweetness of the honey combined with a little spice made the pizza so delish. Will be coming back here to try out the other pizzas.

    Fatto a Manno! At first glance a funny phrase like a bad comedian calling some guy fat in a bad Italian accent. But it turns out the phrase is incredibly thoughtful. 'Fatto a Manno' means handmade or made with one's hands. Which is an accurate description on how they make their pizzas. Wednesday afternoons for the Honolulu/Blaisdell Farmers Market is one of the two times a week FAM makes their way into Honolulu. The other time is the Saturday morning Kakaako FM. Thursday afternoons & Sunday mornings they are on the Windward side. I've seen them around the Blaisdell FM, but I've usually had dinner or other dinner plans. One time about a month ago I decided to try FAM's pizza with a small personal pan sized pepperoni. Like most brick ovens, the pizza was very quick! Very enjoyable, FAM's pizza had a very tasty char. Last Wednesday I got a regular (12") sausage. Again, most excellent! Another pizza to put on regular rotation! If I get the small, I'll have room to get something else at the FM! Will repeat and recommend!

    Enjoyed trying out this pizza with all the hype. It was a good pizza prepared amazingly fast (7 minutes). Dough made from sourdough, so had the chewy deliciousness but a little too soft for my taste. Enjoyed their Fungo and Abe Froman...but a bit too salty, perhaps from the cheese.

    Sausage pizza
    Aiko S.

    So many people had told us that a sour dough pizza from Fatto a Mano was a must when going to the Kakaako Farmer's Market, but we wondered how good a pizza from a farmer's market in Hawaii could be. This was a surprise and we now understand why so many locals were getting boxes of these pizzas to take home even at 8 in the morning because they sell out. Since it was our first time trying Fatto a Mano and let's be honest - coming from a city like New York where you can get great pizzas, we were a little skeptical - we decided to get a small pie of the sausage pizza to share just to see what it's like. As soon as we took a bite of it, we immediately regretted not getting a bigger pie. The pizza was piping hot since they're freshly baked at the food stall and the crust was airy and perfect. This was definitely on par with the pizzas that you can get in major cities like New York and Tokyo and was probably one of the best things we ate on this trip to Honolulu. We only wish that they have an actual store so that we won't have to wait until the weekend to get it.

    Melrose Ave pizza (vegan)
    Sam M.

    My vegan dad gives the vegan pizza a 5 star rating! Not many places are vegan friendly but here they have a delicious vegan pizza with very fresh vegetables. We make it a point to get it at the Kailua Farmer's Market every Thursday evening!

    Great Napoli pizza!! Love their fresh dough and fresh tomatoes sauce!! Waiting time is only few minutes!! So good! Definitely coming back soon!

    Personal pepperoni pizza no cheese
    Shane A.

    If you're looking for a good pie, swing on by the Kakaako Farmers Market on Saturdays. Stopped by this place to try their pizza. The crust was chewy and had a great texture. Plus it has little spots of char from the wood fire oven. I always order a ordinary pepperoni pizza as I test out a pizza place. Their sauce stood out to me as it was very flavorful. We found some shade and dug in while it was piping hot. Price was a little steep for a personal pizza ($12?) but taste was definitely there.

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.

The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.

Located in the former Outback Steakhouse on Ala Moana Blvd., San Paulo serves classic American breakfast dishes like eggs benedicts and omelets, but also features a signature Brazilian breakfast as well as salads, sandwiches, and pastas.

    Not kid-friendly, rude hostess, bland marinara…read more I was staying near this restaurant on vacation with a 3 year old toddler. For anyone who doesn't have a 3 y.o., they can be very picky eaters. Since Sao Paolo was in walking distance, I called to ask if they serve a child's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which the girl on the phone confirmed. I reiterated that I was asking about a children's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which she confirmed. I asked a third time that it would be spaghetti and plain red sauce (nothing spicy, no meat bits, etc), and got a "yes." I placed an order, waited 15 minutes and walked down there to pick it up. The hostesses were friendly and I paid $18 (plus 10% tip) for the small bowl of pasta. They asked me how my day was going, and I joked that it would be better now, since I could finally give my kid his favorite "red spaghetti." I walked back to my hotel room to feed my child, but when I opened the container, I let out a loud frustrated sigh when I saw a bowl of penne and marinara, not spaghetti. Again, this is for a TODDLER, and my toddler only eats spaghetti, not penne. In frustration, I called Sao Paulo and explained the situation. When I told the young hostess (who obviously doesn't have children) that my toddler doesn't eat penne, he only eats spaghetti, she actually laughed at me on the phone, which I found to be very rude. I told her this is not funny, that I'm desperately trying to feed my picky toddler on vacation, and that I specifically asked for spaghetti - several times - on the phone. She said she would have to consult her manager, which I found odd, because honestly, we're talking about probably 50 cents worth of pasta to this restaurant, which I paid $18 for. That's a 3,500% profit. After putting me on hold for several minutes, the hostess told me they would give me another children's portion of actual spaghetti at no extra charge. That "no extra charge" part was emphasized to me, like they're making a great sacrifice by giving me another 50 cents worth of pasta. I also looked at their kids menu online while trying to resolve the situation, and it says "perfectly cooked pasta" with marinara, NOT penne, so I don't understand their problem here. If their kids menu had said "penne" specifically, I would understand how this was my mistake, not theirs. My wife volunteered to get the replacement spaghetti and marinara because she could tell I might not be very polite to the hostess for laughing at me on the phone. She came back with a second container of... PLAIN spaghetti with NO marinara sauce, which again, my toddler would not eat. Our only solution was to rub the penne on the spaghetti to get as much marinara on it as possible. (The things parents do for their kids...) My toddler then ate some. I would estimate there was probably 10 cents worth of marinara sauce on the penne. So Sao Paolo saved themselves 10 cents by giving me dry replacement spaghetti. While all this happened, my toddler had a 30 minute meltdown in our hotel room because his dada had promised him his favorite "red spaghetti" when I first placed the order, only to get screwed by Sao Paolo twice. I believe the manager at Sao Paulo gave us dry spaghetti on purpose as a sort of f-you to us. This was a very mean-spirited thing to do to a family traveling with a young child, even if we're just a bunch of stupid haole. It was definitely not keeping with the "aloha spirit." I would remind all employees at Sao Paolo that they are supposed to practice Kokua and Lokomaika'i, even to mainlanders. If you're a parent with a picky eater child, don't count on Sao Paolo restaurant to listen to you or care about your situation. They are actively rude to and dismissive of parents traveling with young children. They will act like giving you 50 cents worth of pasta is a big deal, even if their mistake caused the whole problem in the first place. BTW, I ate the "perfectly cooked" penne. It was overcooked and mushy (the pasta fell apart while I ate it), and the "house-made" marinara was bland. It tasted like canned Chef Boyardee.

Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

    I've always wanted to try Bocconcino, so I'm glad I finally got the chance!…read more It's a cute grocery store/deli-style shop with lots of Italian goodies that you can purchase. I ordered the Bolognese sandwich, which came with mortadella, stracciatella cheese, pistachio crema, and pistachios on top, all on schiacciata bread, which is similar to focaccia. The sandwich was delicious! All of the ingredients tasted fresh, and I especially loved the crunch from the pistachios paired with the meat and creamy cheese. Everything worked so well together. The price was a little steep, though. I paid around $26 for the sandwich including a few dollars for tip. It was really good, though, so I'd get it again as a nice lunch treat!

    This restaurant provides excellent Italian food for an affordable price! I always pass by this…read morerestaurant but decided to try it with my family and wasn't disappointed. The menu selection is large ranging from pasta to pizza. They have a lot of different types and the appetizers were great as well. Restaurant is BYOB with a glass fee (3-5$ a glass I think) Parking lot outside gets full fast but there is street parking on the surrounding neighborhood just a short walk away.

    It was pretty good overall. We came here specifically for pasta, and this quaint little restaurant…read moreis located just a short distance from Waikiki. They also have a private parking lot, which is always a plus. Service was good, and they offer pizzas in addition to their pasta dishes. I ordered the Linguini Pink Scampi, which was quite tasty. The pasta was generously coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce, with several large shrimp nestled throughout. The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could have been better, but we'd definitely consider coming back again to try some of the other dishes.
