Only had the Dr Goody pizza but it had solid flavors and crust was thin with nice chew to the crust. The sodas are all glass bottles which have such a nice nostalgic vibe. The place overall is clean and great casual atmosphere which is a nice change from this high price area. Quick and great service. Definitely would come back. read more

Very solid pizza. It's located inside one of the resort shop areas. Was surprisingly pretty quiet around dinner on a weekday. Got the pepperoni pizza with a bunch of veggies on it. Taste was on point and the crust was very good too. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but very solid pizza and super conveniently located if you're staying in one of the waikaloa beach resorts. read more

We ordered a pizza to go last night. We are staying at the Mauna Lani with the perfect ocean view so we didn't eat at the establishment . The crust and sauce was delicious. The shopping center was not very lively but don't let stop you from giving this place your business. I'd definitely order from there again read more

Really decent pizzas. Greta taste. Especially enjoyed the Pau Hana. But very limited menu and only 1 girl running the store and baking pizzas when we were there. Would have liked more options. But the staff was friendly and helpful and also made a plain pepperoni pizza for us. read more

Hole in the wall spot with a cool vibe. Clean interior with comics on the wall. Seemed like only one person working when we walked in but he was incredibly kind. The pizza hit the spot. It's clear Yelp and google reviews are not that popular among the locals so I'm doing my part to support the people. Their take on a Hawaiian pizza is how everyone should be doing it. Ingredients ratio made it so it wasnt too heavy and you could taste everything with each slice. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES! read more

Popped over tonight to pick up our 3 pizzas and garlic knots. Made sure to look at the pizzas to confirm toppings and one we ordered was supposed to have added mushrooms. Didn't look like it to me, so I asked and the employee said she thinks so. Got back to room and discovered no mushrooms and added Red Pepper flakes. For someone who doesn't like spice, ruined that pizza for the family. read more

If you are looking for a pizza fix on your vacation, this is a great option. The pizza tastes good and fresh. They are small (12 inch thin crust) pizzas. We had the Island Regular ($22) - which was awesome flavor. Unfortunately two of the slices had almost nothing on them (guessing when they were loaded into the oven, it all slid over or off). The Margarita Pizza ($19) was fine but nothing I would do again. Service was fast and friendly. It seemed most of their orders were pick-up, but with a thin crust, it will taste so much better onsite. Overall good experience. read more

There are numerous pizza options in Waikoloa and somehow wee chose Knead and Bake takeout for our Friday dinner. Loved the pizza. It had the kind of crust that I like, ultra thin and crispy. The Margherita pizza is a personal favorite and Knead and Bake does it right. Thin and crispy is the only crust that a margherita pizza should offered in. We also had a cheese pizza for granddaughter and another supreme pizza with Kalamata olives, and they were all good. Definitely ordering again when we return. read more

Knead and Bake - What's left after the initial frenzy - Pizza Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

This place was very close to where we were staying. Website worked great and we ordered 5 pizzas: 2 Margarita, 1 Island Regular, 1 meat lovers, and 1 Pau Hana. We also got an order of the garlic knots. Thin crust nice pies, but the Island Regular was burnt. Garlic knots were good. Overall, IT was not the best. I would order from them again. read more

Service was non existent. They only spoke to us once. Also the large pizza is NOT a large pizza. It was only six slices. It was a 12 inch pizza. Pizza was okay but would never recommend to anyone. Ever. read more

Nice people. Pizza was not great. A Margarita pizza without tomatoes and basil? Took 25 minutes to get our food. I was disappointed. read more

The pizza was delicious but we called ahead and were told it would be about 30 minutes for takeout. After we got there, it took another 25 minutes. I think they started on our order when we walked in. read more

Terrible tonight. Margarita pizza with no basil and no Mozzarella...both pizzas made with tomato paste in lieu of pizza sauce. Skip this place. Crust dry and rubbery. read more

My kids stopped in because it was near our resort and they needed something quick and easy. They ordered 4 pizzas, 2 pepperoni, kalua lei and pau hana. All were delicious, the crust was crunchy and chewy, tones of fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. read more

So disappointed with the service!! This morning we picked up two bake at home pizzas. They come on top of parchment paper and we specifically asked the girl at the register if we can cook the pizza with the paper and she told us yes. We cook the pizza and the paper sticks to the paper and destroys our pizza. At this point it is inedible. We take the pizzas with us and drive back to the restaurant. We told the manager at the front and she was so rude. Did not express any compassion. We even opened up the pizza boxes and showed her what the pizzas looked like. She told us that it was our fault and that she cannot give us a refund or make us new pizzas. We went back and forth and she finally said she can give us one for free. We ended up paying the price of 3 pizzas for only two pizzas. She was cold and harsh. We then waited 45 minutes for our new pizzas. When we asked her how much longer she was rude and then rolled her eyes while walking away into the back. This was surprising considering she is the "manager" and made us pay for a mistake that was not our fault. We are super disappointed and felt disrespected by the manager. Do not waste your time here. read more

Came into Knead and Bread at 7:40 on a Sunday looking forward to some good pizza. After waiting 45 minutes we still didn't have our pizza. We checked in and were told we'd have our pizza in 5 minutes. A few minutes later we were told the baking hadn't even started. We asked for a refund and went to Domino's. Such a disappointing experience! read more

Sad that the staff don't want customers. We've called a few times and their story changes every time...we only allow one order to pick up, we are out of everything...at 7pm on several occasions! Teen girls seemed bugged with having to fill pizza orders. Too bad because we have liked the pizza there. I think they need a manager to ensure the summer crowds keep coming back. We have walked in and the same thing. Plus it's always empty, maybe this is why! read more

Honestly such a great spot at the shops. The staff is always super friendly and the pizza is amazing. The crust has the perfect chew to it. The garlic knots are a mandatory go-to every single time we order. Perfect place to grab food after the beach. read more

Just saying to Greg R. You didn't consider that the person trying to help you was alone and new. Too bad you have no Aloha.

We ordered the Hamilton pizza. With the interesting blend of ingredients (artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, arugula, basil), we were surprised is tasted kind of bland. Our sons enjoyed their pepperoni pizza. In terms of service, the cashier was very friendly and very busy. The estimated 25 minute wait time turned out to be 40 minutes. The background music was spa music which nearly put us to sleep. read more

Knead and Bake - Hamilton pizza - Pizza Near Me - Waimea, Hawaii

There are too not many places to eat close to the Fairmont Orchid. DO NOT WASTE your time on Kead and Bake. the customer service is more like what you would expect in New York, not Hawaii. Th Aloha spirit is very much absent here. The person that took our order made us feel like we were bothering her. When we asked to have a table cleaned so we could sit - it just got worse. Our order was basically thrown on the table without a word. The food was average at best and a made to order pizza had a S ton of red pepper flakes and the knots did come with the advertised marinara. No we did not ask for it for fear of our lives. No Stats. read more

Terrible service and pizza was very spicy even though we did not order a spicy one. Do not recommend at all

Great delicious pizza. Kids are very happy and refused to go to any other place. We had lunch for all our 10 days stay.

We really enjoyed the convenient location, decent pricing for Hawaii, quick service. We ordered a make your own pepperoni and cheese which was good, and the island regular. I like how the pizza is thin and the flavor is really nice. The garlic knots don't look like their website photo. There is no herbs and no real garlic. It's bread knots with melted butter with some garlic powder on the bottom. The flavor was fine, just not what is advertised at all lol read more

the Pizza was well made and tasted delicious in short timing. i also bought garlic knotts and topped it off with a fanta and it was lovely.

Outstanding Pizza! Outstanding Service! Great Prices! We really enjoyed their pizza. read more

Nice little pizzeria, limited menu but the pizza bake and seasoning was spot on. Local art, including local comic art. Give it a try if you need a break from all the overpriced dining options nearby. read more

Love the pizza at this place! Super good quality but the business is really poorly managed. 5 stars for the pizza. It had a perfect crust and dough. You can tell the dough was very fresh going into the oven and it was really light and fluffy. Also had an awesome charred taste from the oven (not burnt) and the toppings were amazing. The problem with this place that I also see in other reviews is that there is literally one guy running the entire business. His phone is going off every 5 mins with orders, he's managing the register and running back and forth making pizza and taking orders. He often runs behind an hour or so just for 1 pizza order. We came at our estimated completion time which was 1 hour after ordering and still had to wait about 15 mins after for it to be done. The guy running the shop was really nice but he looked frazzled and overwhelmed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the location and pizza itself is 5 stars. The service and the way the business is ran is significantly subpar. If they just hire an extra person to work the front and take orders, the pizza maker can crank out way more pizzas at once. read more

If you're craving pizza definitely go here! The Hawaiian regular was delicious with fresh jalepeños and kalua pig. We made our own with hamakua shrooms, sautéd onions, Kalamata olives, and sausage. They're 12" and love that it's not too bready. read more

Pizzas are all little on the smaller size but super yummy and the kids enjoyed! We ordered 3 pies for 8 of us and it was just right!

Phenomenal pizza! The dough is light crispy and airy, and not too cheesy. Came here twice on our trip it was so good. From previous reviews it looks like they remodeled and probably changed owners. They have brief menu of pizzas along with making your own creation. There is a few benches and tables to eat in. They have comics and art for sale decorating the place. read more

Tried Knead and Bake for the first time and was very pleased with the experience. There aren't a lot of great pizza places on the island so it's nice to find one reasonably close. I ordered the Pau Hana pizza which is similar to a combo. Good toppings (especially the Kalamata olives!) and crust. Time from order to hot pizza in my hand was less than 10 mins and the service was pleasant and efficient. Definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Solid delicious pizza. Ordered 5 pizzas to go, they were right on time. Great fresh toppings and loved the combos- faves were the Kailua pork and the sausage and peppers. Highly recommend when you need an easy pizza night on vacation. read more

"We don't come to Hawaii for the cuisine" is our mantra when we go to the islands. We recently got take out pizza from Knead and Bake- two plain cheese pizzas. While the pizza was definitely edible, I would not eat there again. It tasted more like frozen pizza to us...sorry! If you are craving pizza in Waikoloa, this may be your best option...but don't be fooled into thinking it will be great. read more

I had the Island Regular and it tasted yummy. I will be back and make this a regular stop

I was hesitant to order pizza from here because Yelp informed me that some of the reviews were suspicious. Because it was late and my choices were limited, I took a chance- and I'm glad I did. I have no idea if the other reviews are legit, but I felt it was important to share my own experience. Ordered online easily. My 3 pizzas were ready exactly when I was told they would be. I ordered 3 pizzas: a custom pepperoni, sausage, black olives pizza (it came with green olives, but that was fine), plus a couple of their signature pies- Kalua Lei and Crispy Veneto. They're each 12" and sliced into quarters (so I double sliced upon getting them home, because I forgot to ask when ordering). The four of us enjoyed all the pizzas and would order from there again. It's a thin crust pizza with crisp but chewy edges. My only complaint is that the Crispy Veneto was ironically kinda soggy in the center (admittedly it's hard to have that many veggies on a thin crust pie for take-out). It looked like there was only one person working the front and back so I almost thought it was closed and I'd been scammed. But the nice woman came out from the back and handed the order to me within a minute of arriving. Overall, this isn't my favorite pizza but it was good. And reviewers who complain about pricing should look around. Everything is expensive, and this isn't a corporate-funded pizza restaurant. read more

Not what we expected. The name should be Knead and Bake and Take. Hole in the wall, meager seating. Does mostly pick up so the crew is busy on the phone with new orders. We elected to eat on site and had three pies. The taste was good. Our pepperoni and mushrooms wasn't cooked and the toppings slid off. It was served in a take out box and crammed in. There are other pizza places in the area which you should try for dining in. read more
