It was Labor Day Monday, and my husband had a mad craving for pizza. The pizza place he really wanted to go to was closed on Mondays. So I did what I usually do when we need a Plan B—I started searching Yelp.
That’s how I came across Mad Pie in KakaÊ»ako. I had never been before, but the pictures looked good, so we decided to give it a try.
As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a display of pizzas and cannolis. And let me tell you, everything looked GOOD.
It definitely got us excited to see what we were going to order.
The boys immediately knew what they wanted—cheese pizza, of course. My husband went with the Spinach Garlic Tomato slice, and I ordered the Fungo, which came highly recommended. We also decided to get a Caesar salad to share.
The salad came out first, which was nice to snack on while we waited for our pizza slices to come out of the oven. The only thing I would change next time is asking for the dressing on the side. It was a little heavy on the dressing for my taste.
Then the pizza arrived and we dove right in. The crust is made with sourdough, and it was exactly how I like my pizza crust: thin and crispy. The Fungo was delicious, and my husband was very happy with his choice too.
Even the boys, who are pretty predictable when it comes to pizza, loved their cheese slices. And apparently, they loved my crust too because they kept asking for pieces of it!
For dessert, I had my eye on the cannoli. I wanted to try the plain vanilla, so we ordered one to share. Well, the boys took one look in the box and decided they both wanted it, so they split it right down the middle and loved it.
They were nice enough to let me have a small bite so I could taste it—and yep, delish! I may have to get my own next time.
I'm really glad we ended up trying Mad Pie. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely go back!
