Shoutout to ROMY for making a perfect salad. Mad pie's Caesar salad is so good, my mom and I are the type who love lots of sauce on our salad so we always request extra sauce; I love how you can sit at the bar and watch them prepare it and truly the entire staff was so kind and absolutely did not disappoint because this salad was saucy, very yummy, the vibes were wonderful, and service was fast! Mad pie is tucked away right in the back of Whole Foods Kaka'ako I highly recommend stopping in, I personally haven't tried their pizza but my mom has and says it was good but she wished it was fresh to order rather than reheated. read more

Good grab and go pizza joint! Stopped in after class at the Waterfront Plaza and walked over. We were greeted upon entering. I was shocked to see the indoor tables all occupied. Walked up to the glass to take a look at the pizzas I wanted to order. Ordered the fungo and buffalo chicken, which were both good! Loved the service and chill ambience here. There's limited seating inside and some outdoor seating so I can't imagine what this place would look like if it was extremely busy. I recommend this place and would love to come back to also try a cannoli! read more

Fun new pizza place in Kakaako. Vibe here is good and this is a new top 10 Tinder date spot in town! Here's a breakdown: Pizza (whole pie) - 4 stars for being fresh and tasty. However, being a very wide individual, I wish they had a mega toppings pizza option. Oink! Service - 5 stars plus. All workers are excellent! Atmosphere - 5 stars for having seating inside and self service water for dining in. 1 star for the little fruit flies that flock to the glass in front of the pizza. This is the main reason I didn't order by the slice. They really should find a way to deal with this. I'm not super sensitive about this kind of thing, but even I found it gross. Experience- 5 stars for a fun night of pizza, local sodas, and cannoli desserts. Aside from drosophila melanogaster extermination, one thing that I think would improve this place would be adding online or phone ordering. Without one of those, I wouldn't get takeout pizza from here. read more

Mad Pie - Buffalo Chicken Ranch. Whole pie is definitely the way to go! - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was so excited when I found out about this place. Their pizzas look legit. The staff were friendly and the place was spacious with indoor and outdoor seating. Also it's always fun to see how they're making pizzas at the back. My experience was just ok. I tried their funghi. I don't think there's enough mushrooms or garlic. I've had mushroom pizza somewhere else in Honolulu and I prefer that much more than the one here. I don't know maybe I picked the wrong flavor? So after I finished the pizza part, I tried the crust. Meh. It lacked flavor, maybe needed more salt and a bit of sugar in the dough? I dunno I'm not a pie maker. There aren't many pizza crusts that I love so much to eat though (there are but rare), and this wasn't one of the spots. As for the lilikoi panna cotta, it's quite a let down. The crumbs or whatever they put on top was not crispy or crunch at all. It's stale. I dumbed the toppings out to get to the custard part. It didn't have much creamy flavor, didn't make me want more, I also didn't finish it. Maybe my hopes were too high. I love a good slice of pizza, and I think I might need to go elsewhere instead for that... read more

This is definitely a new type of pizza place. My favorite is the spinach-garlic-tomato pizza -- it's really tasty. And if you like a little kick, you can add extra jalapeño lime sauce on the side. You should definitely come and try it. It's worth visiting this new spot! read more

Finally tried this place out after hearing it was worth checking out from a few folks and I recommend checking it out. My friend and I both got the fungo one and I got the buffalo chicken and she got the clam one to share. All the slices were very flavorful but wasn't a huge fan of the clam one. There was one option that was only offered as a whole pizza so I wasn't able to try it but hope to another time. It didn't take too long for the pizza to come out. I was very happy that the pizza was actually warm cause I thought maybe they would take a slice from the display. There was a good amount of tables and bar seating for people to enjoy their pizza there but there were a good amount of people who were ordering boxes to go. As we were eating, I saw one of the workers making a cannoli and filling it with what looked like ube filling. I'm a huge fan of ube so we got one to try and it was pretty good! Not too sweet and good flavor. Parking: there is a parking garage nearby that offers 1 hour free parking :) read more

Such a perfect addition to the neighborhood. This is an easy walk from my office and well worth the steps! We arrived for early dinner so it wasn't crowded. The service is friendly and the cook time is reasonable for a whole pizza. We ordered the pepperoni and asked for the box to go as we could only finish half :) Dining there is clean. They offer plates, forks, knives, and napkins. Additionally they have packets of cheese and pepper flakes if you want added flavor. While they have chilled beverages available for purchase, they also offer cups for water. Our thin crust pizza was tasty! Loved the crust for flavor and texture. The tomato sauce was on point and our pizza was loaded with sliced pepperoni and the perfect amount of cheese! For dessert, we also had their cannoli which was good too. Will come back again to try the mushroom pizza :) read more

Started our 4-day Thanksgiving weekend on a good note, thanks to Mad Pie. The ambiance of the place is very homey, and you can get a glimpse of how your pizza is being made due to their open kitchen setup. The staff who took our order helped me and my boyfriend decide whether to get individual slices or get a whole pie. And because it was our first time, we actually tried both. Tip: you can get half-and-half only for those pizzas with the same sauce base (e.g. red) :) We ended up getting a slice of Fungo, and a whole pizza with 1/2 Abe Froman & 1/2 Pepperoni Playboy. We also ordered their buttermilk ranch sauce on the side. My personal favorite is the Fungo, it's honestly one of the best pizza slices I've had in a very long time. I liked the mix of flavors and textures of the pizza, and it's great whether or not you add chili pepper on top. The Abe Froman and Pepperoni Playboy are both great, but the flavors get elevated when dipped in buttermilk ranch. The pizza + ranch dip combo was surprisingly delicious. I also admired how the staff were able to handle a customer with very specific demands. I saw firsthand how they were very patient and accommodating which I really appreciated. It was a wonderful experience and we'll definitely come back to try all the other pizza varieties! Validated parking is available (parking entrance at Pohukaina St.) read more

NY style pizza outside of NYC?! Mad Pie is probably the closest NY style pizza you can find in Honolulu. I got a tip on the best time to visit without having a long wait, so Yelp BFF and I strolled Kakaako to test it out. We got 3 slices, 2 margaritas and 1 pepperoni. The crust is crispy, yet chewy. You can fold the pizza and it will hold. There's a thin layer of sauce and cheese, but toppings are piled on. My favorite has to be the pepperoni. It's crispy with a hint of spice. Maybe I missed it, but I wish there was some pepper flakes and dried oregano to sprinkle on top. But you can't get any better at $5 (ish) a slice. Definitely have to be back to try the other pizzas. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next! read more

Absolute yes for me. I love a quick, hot pizza slice and this just checks all the boxes for me. Fave? Pepperoni! The little slices that flip up with the mini pools of oil. The sauce is so good and the peppery flavor takes it to the next level. I tried the fungo and buffalo chicken - both stellar but I am more of a red sauce girlie. The buffalo is so unique and chivey in flavor. Fungo is for the mushroom lovers but I wish a little more saucy. There is seating - counter and table. The aesthetic of the autumn retro color scheme love love love! And it's quick and hot. read more

Mad Pie - Pepperoni and fungo - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The madness in Kaka'ako... After hearing all the buzz I finally made it down here thank you to Donna O and Jackie K as I got here as soon as they open which I do recommend if you're to find a seat to enjoy your slices, yup I have the complete joy to have two slices and you can decided which one just by looking at them as the menu is a visual display of each type and with five choices to choose from it was quite easy as we all love mushrooms lol! "Fungo" is exactly that with béchamel sauce along with fresh mozzarella and ricotta and the other "Supreme" has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, Italian sausage, red onion, olive and mushrooms that I can see but am sure there's quite a bit more going on here a it was just so delicious. I've also learned that it's made with sourdough that gave it such flavor though know that if you're ordering by the slice it's being reheated but can imagine having it fresh would be even better. What's even better is dessert the first is their cookie with pistachio and chocolate chip has a touch of salt bringing this soft cookie amazing flavor, Cannolis are made to order where you're able to have with chocolate or what I chose is pistachio and yes there's another...panna cotta, this luxious stunning treat is topped with local mandarin and calamansi a bit on the tart side is simply divine. It was my first time here and though the price is on each pie if there was a menu so that you don't need to actually walk up to the display to glaze over each one to decide, drinks are grab and go only while enjoying your pie can get messy with just forks and spoon only available the restroom is at Down to Earth which isn't far but a bit inconvenient. The staff was nice and friendly to answer all our questions but there's nothing like having pies with friends. Thank you! read more

Now we're talking! Whole pies are now available. What a difference having a fresh pie versus a reheated slice makes. You can taste the sourdough crust. The pepperoni cups are filled with oily goodness. You can taste the sweet tomatoes, briny olives, smell the floral aroma and feel the warming heat from the Calabria chili oil that top the "supreme". Not sure if this is by design or an accident but the base dough of the pizza has been thinned out. There's less crust. Pick the slice up and it flops over unless you do the NYC fold. PERFECT! The closer crust to sauce ratio means it is no longer perceived as dry. Having more dough at the untopped edges allows it to puff and blister. Yes, there is still no large menu all good, they have samples of everything on offer in the front. No, they do not take phone orders or online orders but the friendly staff will send you a text when your pie is done. Plenty of parking in the Keauhou Public Parking Lot (behind Down to Earth). Free without validation for one hour. Reasonably priced, the huge supreme, $35. It doesn't best itself (Fatto a Mano) but now, it's easy to say, this is the best NYC pizza on Island if you order the whole pie. read more

I unexpectedly discovered this by a sign in Kakaako... I am mad about MadPie !!! I thought I'd try the spinach garlic "special" slice... perfect crust apparently has sourdough in the crust. Decided to have a second slice hadn't eaten all day OMG I will be back w friends. Service w a smile - nice chill ambiance. I lived in nyc this place has spectacular flavors and fresh salads as well. They even have a vegan pie read more

We saw the hype on social media and decided to come here! Staff is very friendly and fresh pizza came out fast! The atmosphere is nice and interior looks very hip and clean! We ordered a whole pizza and did half pepperoni half margarita! I personally loved the margarita, the pizza sauce wasn't super acidic nor sweet. This is my personal bias, but I wish there was more basil just because it adds a nice refreshing/spiced note to the pizza. I also loved the dough, it held its shape when being folded in half and it was crispy! However, I wasn't a huge fan of the pepperoni, it was a little too salty and oily for my liking. On another note, something that was a little off putting to me was the fact that there was a lot of fruit flies flying near the display. We weren't sure if they were selling the displays to people therefore we decided to order an entire pie just incase. Other than that, we wouldn't mind coming back! We really want to try the mushroom pizza! read more

Yummy pizza here. I also tried the salads. Both very good, except i felt like their dressing was a little oil heavy, needed more acid. Other than that, this place is a winner! read more

Mad Pie is mad good. This pizzeria is by Down to Earth in Kakaako area. You can park for free (1st hour) at Keauhou Lane. The service is awesome! Everyone that works here passes the vibe check, and they dress super cool too. My buffalo chicken ranch slice was oh so delicious! My boyfriend's piggy smalls slice was tasty too. They offer both reds and whites, and even have desserts! Mad Pie had cannolis when I visited. I will be back to try more slices and buy pies! I hope they have a spinach garlic slice soon! read more

Mad Pie is such a fun new local pizza spot, I'll definitely be going back! They do monthly specials, and I tried the Mexican pizza... soooo good. I honestly wanted to go back the next day for another slice, but they had already changed the special. The owner is awesome and super friendly, he'll chat with you if you're sitting at the counter, which makes the whole experience feel really local and personal. One of the best parts is that you can order by the slice! So many gourmet pizza places make you buy the whole thing, but here you can mix and match and try a few different kinds without committing to just one. The pizza itself is delicious, fresh ingredients, great crust, and really creative combinations. Such a cool little find and totally worth checking out! Go early to get one of the cannoli's! read more

Excellent new New York style pizza place in Kakaako near Down to Earth. I chose pick up using the Toast app since I didn't see a phone number listed yet. Also there's not a ton of seating so I decided to take it home. Hawaiʻi is not known for its great pizza and there's somewhat limited options compared to other bigger cities. Because of that I was excited to try something new and hoping for a new regular spot. We ordered two whole pies for four people and could've done with just one because the slices are huge! I was almost in shock when we went to pick up the boxes, the size is very generous and takes up a full plate. At first I thought $31 was pricey for a whole pie but honestly for Kakaako and the size it was very reasonable. The buffalo chicken ranch (no chicken on half for the vegetarians) was excellent. The ranch gave it a nice kick the onions were thin and cooked enough not to leave a raw bad taste in your mouth. The plain cheese was also solid. The crust was fine, could've been softer and with more flavor but not complaining either. Sometimes crust is so good I eat the whole thing, but didn't for this one. I did free parking on the Down to Earth garage, they have validation for dine-in or it's free for pick up. My order was ready on time (30 minutes from submission time) and service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back in to try a single slice of the different varieties. It's also great that they have several vegan pies as well, something for everyone. One other thing of note is that 8 pm closing time on a Saturday seems early for a pizza place. read more

We are so happy that Fatto Mano came to our Kakaako! But... he didn't come with his buddy brick oven.... His pizza at Kakaako is more like NY style??!! $5 large slice of pizza is reasonable so should not have any complaints but the crust isn't special anymore. Hmm... I loved his pizza at farmers market more. read more

I love Mad Pie! I took my friend that was visiting from Hilo here on the second week after the grand opening. We arrived around 6pm and there was a line out the door but it was moving and not ridonk. The owner James happened to be at the door, so I struck up conversation since I didn't know much about his pizzas. It's so great when people are so successful at farmers markets that they can open a brick and mortar restaurant! I ordered a slice of Pepperoni Playboy and Fungo (they are giant slices) with a side of Kimchi Ranch dipping sauce (highly recommend!) and my total was $17ish, which I think is reasonable. I have quite the appetite nowadays since I work out a lot, and this was a substantial meal. The two choices I made were phenomenal, and I absolutely loved dipping the yummy sourdough crust into the Kimchi Ranch sauce (and slathering my pizza with it!). I don't typically like pizza crust, but this one is special for sure! I would love to return to try the Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza. They also had Margherita and Cheese pizzas. My friend gave me a generous piece of his pistachio cookie and that was yummy as well. We ate at the counter seating that overlooks the pizza-making magic. It was so cute that one of the pizza prep guys was watching my reaction as I took my first bite of my pizza! We got to chat more with owner James again. Brownie points for having rock solid branding. I so want a t-shirt and stickers! Their Hedley & Bennett aprons are fire as well. Colors are all on point. As for parking, I actually didn't find parking in the SALT lot (we were going to migrate there later) because it was completely full. I scored street parking in the area (free from 6pm). read more

Check out their Instagram for hours. read more

The best and I mean the best slice and one of the best foods I had over all in Hawaii. Which I think is tough to match up to all the fresh seafood and culture that the island brings. When a slice of classic goodness pulls through like that it's is something to go out of your way for I think. Along with the good vibes from their staff embodying the welcoming spirit of Hawaii. And being in Honolulu makes it pretty accessible and not to hard to add to the itinerary! read more

Mad Pie - Pepperoni and a slice of the Buffalo chicken - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Wow! It's been a while since I've eaten some really good freshly made pizza. I'm not talking about pizza coming out of the Costco or Dominoes oven. But rather that brick and mortar, hand spun sour dough, freshly made sauce and toppings, cooked to absolute perfection pizza . Their selection of unique crafted pizzas makes you want to try every one. Which is exactly what we do every time we order. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable and I enjoy watching them craft the pizzas behind the counter. They usually have a weekly special which is a definite must try. Our slices were then heated in the oven giving the pizza toppings and crust an absolute satisfying slice of deliciousness and enjoyment. Free parking is plentiful on ground level and the store is a quick walk around the elevators. This is a definite must try if you are in the Kakaako neighborhood. read more

I guess I'm just not a pizza connoisseur. Everyone is raving about it, but to me... it's pizza. I mean, ya, you can't go wrong, but you also can't really go right. Wait, what? I just confused myself.

Update- 5 stars for the cannoli. Super crispy shell. Not too sweet filling. Better than many I've had in Boston. Must order every time! A bit disappointed in how long it took to get one margherita pizza for dine-in on a week day night. Ordered at 6:50pm, it didn't arrive til 7:40pm (50 min wait for dine in). By that point, our free hour of parking was almost done and we had not even started eating. So just plan ahead and be aware. read more

And, I didn't even mention the pistachio chocolate chip cookie off the charts perfection. Don't walk, but run to pick up your pizza and cookies today read more

Delicious pizza! I don't crave pizza much but Mad Pie has me wanting more! We got there shortly after opening hours and they had a variety of flavors to choose from displayed. We ordered three different flavors by the slice of - Fungo, Buffalo Chicken Ranch and Margherita. There are daily special flavors and vegan options as well. Their slices were pretty big sized and we asked to cut each slice in half. Their pizza is sourdough based so its thin and crispy, just how I like it! Didn't make me feel so bloated like other pizzas do. There are three ranch sauces made in house and we decided to go with the flight of all three. My favorite was the jalapeno lime. They also offer a self serve station for water. Inside there are tables and counter seating areas where you can see the workers preparing the pizzas. Everyone there is friendly. Parking is inside Keauhou Lane (entrance by Down to Earth) or street parking. QR code inside on their wall to validate parking for free first hour. read more

Mad Pie - Supreme - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came here twice so far and I like their pizza! So far I've tried the fungo (mushrooms) and clam pie pizza. I'm not sure if it's everyday or weekly but they seem to have one special or a different type from the usual cheese, margherita, fungo, buffalo chicken ranch and pepperoni slices. The clam pie had mozz, pecorino cheeses, clams, bechamel sauce and lemon and parsley. I remember thinking I didn't really taste too much clam pieces but it did taste like a clam white sauce pasta with the hint of lemon. It's pretty straightforward which I like and the slices are hot and a decent size, although sometimes I prob can eat two slices if I'm really hungry. They have some salad options and cannoli dessert. Free tap water but not iced. read more

The food is very good. Love the pizza. The Caesar salad is different but good. Recommend people to eat there.

We used to have their pizza at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market on Saturdays and we were so disappointed when they stopped coming there. We really wanted pizza, so I searched on Yelp to find a new pizza place to have lunch. After much research, I came across Mad Pie and the graphic design and menu seemed similar to the pizza place we really liked. Love the open design, seating area, and the amazing pizza smells! We got our favorite sausage pizza (specially made only here) and for sure this is the pizza we remembered, but even better! These ovens make the crust more crispy and delicious than the portable oven used at the Farmer's Market. Love the variety of pizza toppings and we got a whole pizza so we could take some back to eat for dinner. We could not have been happier! We arrived just before the lunch rush and so glad we did because the place filled up in a hurry. They also had a lot of take away orders. The young man who waited on us was very personable, welcoming. We asked a lot of questions before deciding to go with our favorite instead of trying something new this time. We also like that it's away from the chaos of downtown Waikiki tucked into a block of local businesses. This will be our go-go pizza places for sure! Highly recommend! read more
