Little G Café Pizza in Honolulu, Hawaii, Thin Crust Pizza

Thin to Win Pizza in Hawaii from Little G. Cafe. Here's my review. This video is a review of Little G’s Café located on 808 Sheridan Street in Honolulu. The pizza shop is located on the second floor. I first met Jared the owner a few years ago, at his shop called Garibaldi’s. Garibaldi’s was in a stall located at the Ohana Market Place located in Kaka’ako. He specialized in making Sicilian style pizza. The pizza was rectangle shaped baked to perfection in his oven. The pepperoni, which was my favorite had incredible cups. For pizza in Hawaii, this was unique as no one was making Sicilian Pizza. He amassed a huge fan base. There were lines every time I stopped in to enjoy a slice. The great thing about Garibaldi’s he relied strictly on word of mouth advertising.
