It’s time to get cheesy — National Pizza Month is coming up in October. Whether you prefer thick-crust or Neapolitan-style pizza, check out these signature slices across Oahu:

Mad Bene

Kapolei-based Mad Bene (4450 Kapolei Pkwy. Ste. 540) specializes in East Coast-style, Italian-American comfort food, which translates to pizzas, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parm and more.

New York-inspired pizzas are made with premium ingredients. Go for the N.Y.C. with Ezzo pepperoni, carbonara — bacon, egg yolk and pecorino — or Mad Garlic, which features garlic six ways. Be sure to ask your server about the featured pizza of the week.

Arancino at The Kahala

Arancino at The Kahala (5000 Kahala Ave.) is known for its creative, modern twist on classic Italian dishes. Its brick-oven pizzas feature both fresh, local products and premium ingredients imported from Italy.

The pizza prosciutto e burrata and pizza funghi e tartufo are customer favorites. If you want something truly indulgent, however, ask for the off-menu carbonara pizza. It’s just as glorious as it sounds.

Bob’s Pizzeria

Talk about larger than life — Kailua-based Bob’s Pizzeria (130 Kailua Road Ste. 112) is famous for its 19-inch pies. These huge, Boston-style pizzas are available whole or by the slice. Each 19-inch pie is designed to feed at least four adults.

Brick Fire Tavern

When it comes to fresh pasta and pizzas with vibrant Italian flavors, look no further than Napoli-inspired and locally crafted Brick Fire Tavern (3447 Waialae Ave.). The biz is famous for its pizza Napoletana, which features housemade dough and a light, airy crust. In 2018, the eatery became the first Oahu restaurant to be awarded the Vera Pizza Napoletana (true Neapolitan pizza) certification by Associazone Verace Pizza Napoletana.

“We remain the only Oahu restaurant serving certified Neapolitan pizza,” confirms owner Matthew Resich.

Brick Fire Tavern uses local kiawe wood to heat its oven to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, which guarantees that every Napoletana pizza is consistently cooked in 90 seconds. Popular options include margherita, funghi, Mais Runner (with corn pesto and Sweet Land Farms goat cheese) and Da “Shrimp Truck.” The latter features white shrimp, shrimp besciamella, garlic, mozzarella, lemon and parsley.

The biz started offering Roman-style pizza slices every Tuesday. The selection rotates weekly, with choices like potato nduja, mushrooms and pancetta, cherry tomatoes and anchovies, mortadella and pepperoncini, and burrata and prosciutto.
