Pepperoni with pineapple.
Nick F.

This gem is tucked away on Kūhiō Ave & Dukes Ln in Waikīkī. There are many decent pizza places in the area but Luigi's takes the mahiole. The pizza may not be wood fired but it's got the same kinda vibe. The naturally leavened sourdough crust is key. The dough goes through a fermentation process for around 48 hours to deliver its notable flavor. You can expect the results to be consistent if not a bit greasy depending on the toppings, which are not all the expected cast. They offer a verity of topics that might make you think, it never occurred to me to put that on this kind of pizza." Which I think is great way to get customers to expand their pallets (and I say that being certifiably the finickiest person I know). For example they recommend calabrian chilies, whipped ricotta, and hot honey for pairing with their pepperoni pizza. I opted to add some pineapple to mine despite the controversy (oh stop, you'll love it!). Be sure to check out their Truffle Mushroom pizza, who can really pass up white truffle oil laced seasonal mushrooms, truffle makes everything better. The staff at as helpful, friendly and tentative. We can at a bit of an odd hour (and following some flash flooding in the area) so the place wasn't too busy. There is a bit of seating inside and some outside seating to do people watching. Inside it looks like you can watch as they make the pizza dough but it wasn't occurring during our visit.

Margherita Pizza
Megan H.

Very happy we found this place! The staff was friendly and helpful and our food came quite quickly. There is a partially open kitchen concept so you're able to watch the chefs work if you like. This is Neapolitan style pizza (so yes there is less cheese than American style pizzas). The crust was a bit overdone on some of our pizzas and true to Island fashion it's a bit expensive for what you're getting. However, the ingredients were clearly high quality and the portion sizes were larger than we expected! Would recommend.

Margarita slice

I'm from NY and love pizza. Not to be rude but this was better than I expected in Hawaii. I had a margarita pizza and it was excellent. NY, no but pretty darn close. Also the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Cheese Pizza
Sonia G.

This was an okay pizza joint next to the Fish Market restaurant in the heart of Waikiki. What it had going for it was that it was close to the hotels and one could call place an order and come pay at pick up. They were also giving out free sodas. We just got a plain cheese pizza which was only so so. The dining area inside small but clean. Also staff were friendly and professional.

Luigi's: tiramisu, freshly made in-house
Crystal W.

SUPPORT FAMILY OWNED LOCAL BUSINESSES! We saved the best for our last supper in Hawaii. Pizzas are 14", ingredients fresh and locally sourced, service spectacular, tiramisu freshly made in-house daily. Clean aesthetic inside and flows to an outdoor patio that joins their fish restaurant next door. I requested for a clean pizza slicer and watched him clean a slicer so thorough that I'm giving him a huge kudo for that. Thank you for a great experience; every one of you tonight I applaud.

Pepperoni Pizza with everything added
Candace B.

I found this place on Yelp and wanted to get a cheap pizza to take back to the Airbnb to eat. The walk to the location from the parking garage made me change my decision to dining in. Upon entering the cashier was friendly and gave some suggestions. I ordered the pepperoni pizza with ricotta cheese and hot honey. The taste of the sauce was okay and I didn't like the application or taste of the ricotta. The atmosphere was cool with the outside dining. Overall, I wasn't disappointed I tried it, but a little sad that it wasn't as good as the reviews made it seem.

White Mushroom Pizza with Fresh Arugula
Christine C.

Mmmm! Sourdough thin crust pizza with fresh, high-quality ingredients. So good that we ate there two nights in a row. We had the White Mushroom with Arugula (add-on). So delicious! Happy, pleasant people to take your order. In/outdoor seating options. Fast service.

Burrata Pizza
Shana V.

I'm not a regular when it comes to eating in Waikiki, we usually try to avoid when possible because parking and crowds. When my sister said they were going to do a staycation in Waikiki I knew I was going to be hanging out with them. Looking for dinner on Sunday night we wanted something we hadn't had, kids would eat, and the wait wouldn't be too long. Hello Luigi's. It's a small shop and was very busy-we waited about 10 minutes to order and 25 minutes for food. The pizzas are 14" thin crust pies with sourdough crust, very delicious. I forgot to get a picture of the fennel sausage pizza but that was the crowd favorite for our party of 6. The burrata was good but I wish we had added something else on top. The tomato and burrata salad needed some salt and a crusty bread and it would have been my highlight of the night. Overall, good food, decent price, good service.

Delicious sourdough thin crust new york style pizza. Quality fresh ingredients definitely a must try when in HI. We had it several times and the whole family enjoyed it. And prices are very reasonable when it comes to the touristy area.

Me and Luigi! He's from Queens NY, so no wonder the pizza tastes so good!

After decades of living in Honolulu, I can finally say I've found my favorite pizza: Luigi's in Waikiki on Kuhio. The thin crust is perfectly crunchy with that cornmeal texture that keeps every bite light but satisfying. The sauce is balanced, not too sweet, and the fennel sausage is a total treat for the taste buds; tonight I went back for a second night in a row and added pepperoni. Even, the owner Luigi himself, even came out to personally deliver the pizza to me while I was standing at the counter admiring the kitchen, which says everything about how much pride they take in what they serve. If you're craving real, flavorful pizza in Honolulu, this is the place I'll be coming back to again and again. And PS no parking ticket for parking across the street just long enough to run in and pick up

Pepperoni pizza
Samuel G.

Easy to order, fast service and a bunch of tables at a good price. I have not had much experience with sourdough crust but this was stellar. It had exactly the wood fired taste that i love, with a not too chewy crust. It reheats well too! Counter style setup with first come tables that can house some larger groups. Open to the street side so you can people watch as well. My only regret was not trying the hot honey.

To go box

Luigi's recently opened in Waikīkī near the International Market Place. The establishment looks clean and spacious. The staff are friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked up and took our order. The menu had limited options which is nice as this usually means they specialize in quality. We ordered the Pepperoni and Fennel Sausage pizza and took it to go. The pizza was pretty good as I favor fennel sausage however I didn't find a lot of that in the pizza, I wish there were more. The crust is nice on the outer edge however I wasn't able to taste the sourdough. This is my first time having sourdough pizza crust and I was hoping there would be more of that flavor and texture. My thoughts are that they are working on mastering their craft and I look forward to returning in 6 months.

Next to Paia fish market is Luigi's pizza owned by Paia. This may be the best pizza in town. Sourdough crust, and lots of fresh ingredients. Service is very pleasant and nice pizzas. Take 15 to 20 minutes and if you're in to espresso, they have a machine that's like no other.

Nothing like eating huge sandwiches and the best pizza around! Our office orders takeout frequently from little g's and we absolutely love it here! We usually have place our order a few days in advance to secure our order for the day we want. They do run out fast so it is safer to place the order in advance too. You can order online but after a certain amount it requires you to phone in your order. I didn't grab a picture of everyone's food but this was the two sandwiches I got! The chicken parm is incredible stacked with 3-4 pieces of chicken parm and their red sauce with mozzarella served hot. The Italian has three different meat with cheese and lettuce and bell peppers served cold. These were served with a different grained bread which was a lil different than what we are used to but still really great! Service here is always great and food is always mind blowing with their large portions and fresh ingredients!

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.

I absolutely loved their Detroit-style pizza (now called the "square" pizza), and it used to be something I looked forward to every visit. The last time I ordered it, it wasn't quite the same, but I thought maybe it was just an off night. Unfortunately, after trying it again, I left even more disappointed. The pizza had very little pepperoni, minimal cheese, and the sauce tasted pasty rather than rich and flavorful like I remembered. What made me so sad is that this wasn't just a slight difference -- it felt like a completely different pizza from the one I used to love. I'm posting this because I truly hope they revisit the recipe or preparation, because this place has been special to me for a long time.
