If you're wondering why I didn't go to other places like Big Kahuna's, Magoo's, Amina's, etc...that is not the pizza I was looking for and their crust and style is in a whole 'nother category. And now I will not eat pizza for another year!

@@FoodFiend Haha, agreed about Mexican food! As simple as pizza looks it's really an art form. I agree that I ask a lot but when you've tried east coast pizzas you realize that it can be done.

I'm so sorry that the person at Mamo was a dingleberry to you. We've never had a bad experience picking up from there, but if we were treated the way you were, we would probably never go again. We rotate between Mamo, Dolan, and 'ili'ili , with 'ili'ili being our favorite overall (plus those hoagies, wings, potatoes salad, meatballs, baked ziti are SOOO GOOD). The 'ili'ili pies are bigger than the other two and half fills my husband and I up for one meal and we have leftovers the next day. We havent yet made it to Shamrock but we will very soon. Thank you for taking the time to eat, film, edit, and post your vids. We know it takes a lot of work and care on your part. Mahalos! Oh one quick thing...Aloha Beer has a decent thin crust pie, too! We'd put it below Mamo and Dolans but good value for the price.

Thanks for such an extensive survey of pizza places in Oahu. Cool that you have experience with living on the East Coast and can comment on pizza from that perspective. Was really curious about Black Shamrock Tavern ever since hearing it was founded by the pizza maker at the former J.J. Dolans. Last I checked way back the pizza wasn’t available yet. Glad to hear it’s on the menu now and that it’s great. Will have to try it. It won’t topple your top picks, but when I was trying out different pizzas, I was pleasantly surprised by Aloha Beer Company’s pepperoni pizza on Queen St. in Kakaako. Look forward to discovering more good restaurants from you.

Aloha Michelle and Jose! Yes please add Black Shamrock and J Dolan to your list. I'd like to hear your thoughts and they are kinda in the same area along the lines of Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown. I would say if you're parked in municipal parking it is walkable but not that close to each other. It's thin crust so if you get a slice from J Dolan's and a full pie (since they don't do slices) at Black Shamrock you won't feel disgusting after eating it all. After sharing the pie with Aiden at Black Shamrock I could eat proably 2 more slices before feeling disgustingly full.

If Agostino's opens up again, his pizza was easily by far the best I ever had in my life, and once I had his pizza, I couldn't eat any other pizza here. It was as good as this place in NYC in the theatre district (they moved and I haven't found their new location), which I found out from Agostino is his cousin's place. No wonder they were pretty much the same and the best I've ever eaten.

Great video! Lot's of places covered! I, too, prefer thin crust pizza but yeah, there's always the soggy middle problem. I once saw on Food Network, I think "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," a place that twice bakes the crust to solve the problem. Crust is par baked, then cheese is added first to "protect" the crust from the sauce moisture. It looked pretty good! As far as the Pizza Mamo attitude guy, that pizza would have to be above and beyond for me to go back. Kind of like Nisshodo Mochi where there used to be a grouchy older lady and a sweet younger lady at the counter. Whenever I go, if I'm next in line and I'm getting the grouchy lady, I tell the person behind me to go ahead, "I'm still deciding!" LOL!

I'm actually a fan of Boston's North End, probably because it's a 10-15 minute drive from home. I think that place in Kemoo was once a Boston's - maybe why their sauce is similar. Have you tried Pizza Press in Highland's Center? Try their Tribune if you go. Pretty good by my low standards, haha.

Not great but I loved the burrata. Pizza Mamo was just ok and service sucked so I'm not going back. I had 2 slices at J. Dolan's in Kahala. My first few bites were good and hot but they keep the restaurant so cold that the slices went cold. Not nearly as good as pizza straight from the fridge. Maybe I'll try their downtown location.

@FoodFiend I'll eventually get to Repttis, I haven't been to your #1 yet and the pizza looks really good. #2 last time I went it was JJ. So I wanna try it as J.

Proof Social Club around the corner of J Dolans has really good pizza. I would say it's comparable to J Dolans.

Loved harpos pizza back in the day. But nowadays I'd say jj dolans are one of the best.

I agree. If you like J Dolan's try Black Shamrock. I haven't had the pleasure of trying Harpo's.

love veggies, but on pizza they can make the crust soggy. When lucky it works amazing otherwise, I like to keep it more simple with meat toppings.

Yes I like it simple too, but unfortunately they had pre selected menu items for their pizza so I went with the meat with the onions which was the closest thing to pepperoni.

I noticed Black Shamrock pizza was eaten at the restaurant and it came out of the oven pippin' hot, whereas the rest was consumed in the car, which in my opinion may have affected the quality of the pizza. My go to pizza is litter ceasars' pan pepperoni lunch combo or the italian bread pizza in Wahiawa. The Wahiawa location is always consistent, other locations are always hit-and-miss. Thank you for your hard work in making this video for your followers. Kudos!

The Black Shamrock was not the only one eaten in the car...the first and second was in the restaurant. The rest were eaten right away in the parking lot of their establishment so it was hot. The only one not eaten right away that was a short walk to street parking was J Dolan and Pizza Mamo. I got the J Dolan first before Pizza Mamo so you would think it was soggy but it was the second highest rating. So the short walk did not make a difference. Mahalo for watching!

I would like the Illilii pizza as that crunch sounds like my Mi d of pizza. I like the airy, air pockets in pizzas

Brick Fire Tavern looks disappointing and although I've been meaning to try them, I will be passing on them for now. To me, Mad Bene looks the most appealing since I like crunchy thin crust pizzas.

Yes it was disappointing but the service and pasta was good! The pizza was mid. Try J Dolans and Black Shamrock. Mad Bene was good too.

I usually never send food back, as they will spit or do stuff to it. I just know there's a high chance of it. Once we sent salty fish back because the manager noticed we didn't eat it. We joked and said we don't send food back and she insisted they'd never do such a thing. It came back washed off with water and was the same fish we had with our bite mark on it. 🤣

Too much moisture in the toppings can cause sogginess and gummy. That is ultra thin though ( 1st pizza). My opinion is pepperoni is overrated, all it does is makes pizza greasy.

Brick Fire Tavern is way overrated. Considering the price, it’s a horrible deal. J Dolan is fantastic! Their spinach garlic ricotta is amazing. It’s not cheap, but way better than Brick Fire Tavern. Ili’ili Cash n Carry is also very good, especially for the price!

Try Black Shamrock if you like J Dolans. That's the partner that had a falling out when they were JJ Dolans. That was my #1. #2 is J Dolan and #3 is Repettis.

I’m usually not a thick crust pizza fan, however I did like the Detroit style pizza from garibaldis when they were in makai market place. I have not been able to try his pizza at his new location, his hours of operation are inconvenient, sometimes he’s not open during posted times. I disagree with your review of pizza mamo, their Detroit style pizza is equally good if you buy the whole pie, but they are expensive. I didn’t have the bad customer service experience you had so I can see how that affects your review.

Yeah it is all subjective. I think I just don't like Detroit pizza. But I understand if you or others like it because some people dislike thin crust. Yeah the service was terrible. The guy smiles on the news when they feature him but it's a whole different demeanor in person. 🤙

@@FoodFiendI think I know who you’re talking about and I agree lol. He gives off sort of a pompous vibe. I still like their pizza though when I’m in the mood for a thin but not too thin crust. My favorite pizza spots that I like to rotate around are Blackrock, Little G’s, and ili’ili; so my taste is pretty similar to yours haha.
