    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.

    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.

The texture of the crust and the various toppings, especially the ricotta paired well together. I also got the yogurt and honey gelato. It wasn't too sweet because of the yogurt, which I loved! The gelato was a good creamy and smooth texture. It's a small place with a couple of tables inside, but there's ample seating around Manoa Marketplace if the inside is full. There was also lots of parking on a Tuesday night. It does take them some time to bake the pizzas, but that's what makes the crust so good! Service was friendly and helpful.

We both decided to get pastas with the tiramisu. I got the lasagna and the hubby got the linguine meatballs. The pasta portions were huge. I also got a slice of the daily special pizza $7. The pizza consisted of sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and ricotta. It was so delicious. The piece was so huge that they cut it into two pieces. They also warmed in up for me. The pastas were good, but the pizzas are most definitely the star. I love their pizza. It's thin crust, crispy on the edges and a little chewy. I'm usually not crazy over pizza, but I couldn't stop eating it. The tiramisu was also spectacular. The espresso, mascarpone cheese, cocoa powder and liquor were nicely balanced. The spongy ladyfingers and mascarpone just melted in my mouth. The best thing was that it wasn't overly sweet and just creamy. Two thumbs up for the tiramisu.

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.

Or you can park in the private paid parking lot with the entrance on 11th or 12th Ave. Service took a while as we took the last table in there as it was busy. Food took a while as pizza takes a while to make and cook it. That's understandable. Ambiance is casual. Both wall air conditioning units were off at the time. It was warm in there.

The tragedy I experienced there recently was their ham & mushroom melt sandwich which used to be simply mind blowing. I ordered it for the first time in years and instead of the normal thick cut ham and good portions of mushrooms and cheese, there was two tiny, thin slices of flavorless ham, and 30% of the bread was too hard to eat. To say I was disappointed as an understatement. Please consider bringing this sandwich back to its former glory!

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.

Prefixe is choice of soup or salad, a selection of various pizzas, and an option to add on a dessert. I ordered the Caesar and Quattro formaggi. They warned me about the spice that comes along with the hot honey and it was very minor and absolutely delicious. The Caesar was huge, definitely shareable, and very refreshing. Two others in our party kept it simple with prefixe pepperoni which they demolished so I'm guessing it was good! My 13 year old son ordered the double pepp and almost ate his entire 12" pizza by himself. (He is not a big eater so this was impressive). We also enjoyed the prosciutto and burrata along with porcini rigatoni as sides which were also delicious. Just a very enjoyable meal. Staff was so pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable. I felt bad since open table allowed me to make a 2:00 res and they normally close at 2. They were still so kind and didn't rush us at all. Absolute best customer service. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu. Since we already tried a lot of it I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you order.
