Haven’t
had
pizza
since
I
left
New
York
two
months
ago,
but
we
finally
checked
out
the
newly
opened
Pizza
Mamo,
which
specializes
in
Brooklyn
and
Detroit-style
pizzas.
It
was
always
hard
to
find
good
pizza
places,
especially
slice
shops
in
Honolulu
so
we
thought
this
was
a
great
addition
to
Downtown
Honolulu’s
growing
food
scene.
We
decided
to
try
one
Detroit-style
and
one
Brooklyn-style
pizza
so
that
we
can
compare
the
two
styles
that
they
served.
For
the
Detroit-style,
we
got
the
pesto
and
sausage,
and
for
the
Brooklyn-style
we
got
the
mushroom,
which
the
cashier
had
recommended.
Normally
I
would
prefer
the
thin
crust
New
York-style
pizza,
but
I
think
the
Detroit-style
is
the
winner
at
Pizza
Mamo.
Coming
from
New
York,
where
most
of
the
best
pizza
places
are
located
in
Brooklyn,
the
Brooklyn-style
pizza
here
wasn’t
on
par
with
what
we
can
get
back
home.
I
know
it
is
sort
of
an
unfair
comparison
since
this
isn’t
Brooklyn,
but
I
thought
the
crust
was
a
little
bland
even
though
it
was
soft
and
had
the
right
texture.
The
Detroit-style
pie,
on
the
other
hand,
was
very
flavorful
and
not
as
heavy
as
the
Detroit-style
pizzas
that
I’ve
had
elsewhere
on
the
mainland.
I
think
I
might
go
back
and
try
the
other
Detroit-style
options
if
I
have
a
craving
for
pizza
while
I’m
in
Honolulu.
One
of
the
down
sides
to
this
place
was
that
the
pizza
slices
were
a
little
expensive
even
for
New
York
standards.
I
think
the
slice
of
the
Brooklyn-style
mushroom
pizza
was
almost
$7
including
tax
and
that
is
definitely
on
the
more
expensive
side
even
at
slice
shops
in
New
York.
The
service
here
could
also
be
better
because
the
service
here
is
not
as
good
as
the
service
that
you
get
at
most
places
in
Hawaii.
In
fact,
the
service
here
is
very
“New
York”
and
while
New
York
may
have
good
pizzas,
service
is
not
one
of
their
strengths.
