Find Detroit- and Brooklyn-Style Pizzas at Chinatown’s New Slice Shop
Pizza Mamo’s American-style pies are unique on O‘ahu.
December 11, 2020
The pizza shop that just opened on the site of the original Brick Fire Tavern on Hotel Street isn’t just a rebrand. It’s far more exciting. Pizza Mamo is a complete overhaul with two pizza styles we haven’t seen in Honolulu: Brooklyn and Detroit.
Brooklyn-style pizza is a hybrid of Neapolitan and New York styles. It is characterized by a large 16-inch diameter, a crust that’s crisp but flexible enough to fold in half, and toppings that are simple and flavorful. Pizza nerds will notice the bubbles and pockets of dark spots known as leoparding (read: This is a serious pie).
