    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

The pepperoni pizza was excellent. The crust had a great texture with a light crisp on the outside and just the right amount of chew. The sauce was flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and the pepperoni was generous and cooked perfectly. It tasted fresh and homemade from the first bite to the last. The garlic knots were fantastic. Soft, warm, and loaded with garlic flavor, they were easily some of the best we've had. The salad was fresh, crisp, and a great complement to the meal. What really stood out was James himself. You can immediately tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in his restaurant. He was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely interested in making sure guests had a great experience. It is refreshing to visit a place where the owner is so invested in both the food and the people walking through the door. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, and the entire experience felt personal rather than rushed. Places like this are becoming harder to find. One thing visitors should know is that the restaurant is cash only. That wasn't a problem for us, and there is an ATM available at a nearby gas station if needed. Just come prepared so you can focus on enjoying the food. This was one of our favorite meals during our time on the Big Island. Great food, great service, and a restaurant that clearly reflects the passion of its owner. We will definitely be back on a future visit.

I am so happy that my husband & I got to experience this restaurant while in Hawai'i. For starters, we ordered their special lobster salad (with lobster, mango, avocado, and pickled hearts of palm) and their mushroom side dish. Both were absolutely packed with flavor, and the lobster salad especially included very new flavors for us both. The mushrooms were out of this WORLD! For entrees, we ordered the spicy lobster ravioli and their mushroom side curried macadamia nut fish (swordfish). Each bite was a little taste of fishy heaven for both dishes. We are so happy with our visit here, and cannot wait for the opportunity to come back and try more amazing, home-grown food. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Merriman's makes it easy. You get glad dishes of two options. My family loved and took full advantage of this option. My daughter got the island beef and the lamb chops. She preferred the lamb chops to the beef. My husband got the island beef and the catch of the day. I got the fish special that came with a spanakopita. It was delicious! I loved the flavors.

Kabob was our main with hummus for the appetizers. We ended up not ordering enough for the main because I think when I'm sitting down you can't tell I'm 6'8" 220lbs and they advertise their meals as shareable. If you eat a lot, the kabobs aren't shareable. Pay attention at the desert layout; we decided to go with the unhealthy route which was to top off with some sweets instead of ordering more mains . The frozen milk cake for me was it even though they pushed the pavolova as the one. The smores is pretty average tasting s'mores but definitely a luxury version so I'd never say don't get it, I'd just say it's obtainable elseware if you're trying to decide on a space you might not visit again. The service was also on par with the establishments well earned reputation and they also had eats for our 3 year old (pizza, which somehow he ate the entire serving of and threatened me if I tried some). 5 star experience

This was A BIG WIN, and we wished we could've gone more during our stay. Everything was solid so you won't be sorry.
