Nomadic (formerly Wicked HI) is a family-owned business that specializing in sourdough-based dishes All of their dough is naturally fermented using 100% Italian flour, made fresh daily, and baked to order in an Italian electric brick oven. We stopped in during a weekend morning and ordered waffles for a late breakfast treat. They were warm, light, and fluffy, with just the right firmness from the sourdough base. The B.E.C. waffle (bacon, over-easy egg, and cheddar cheese) was savory and satisfying, while the Avocado waffle is a favorite that I am still thinking about! The combination of creamy avocado, fresh tomato, sprouts, goat cheese, and a warm drizzle of local honey was bright, rich, and delicious. We also tried their signature Honey Slush, a dairy-free blend of fruit, raw local honey, and water that's incredibly refreshing and naturally sweet. Flavors include piña colada, coffee, lilikoi, and dragonfruit lemonade. We ordered the coffee slush (cold brew and raw local honey), which was smooth and lightly sweet, and the lilikoi slush, which was bold and very tart in the best way. Unfortunately, they were out of the coconut cream (sadness!); but next time, I'd definitely add coconut cream to the lilikoi to offset the tang and add more silky sweetness to the coffee slush. Sizes are keiki, small, and regular. We went with the small, but it was surprisingly filling and the keiki size would've been plenty. The space is cozy with limited seating inside and outside, adding to the laid-back neighborhood feel. Service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming. Parking is easy with spots in the back, plus metered parking available out front. Already planning a return to try their pizzas and salads! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Oahu! This place is so good! The pizza was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with really high-quality ingredients. The crust is perfect, not too heavy, and you can tell the dough is made with care. We tried a couple different pizzas and everything was great. Nothing felt overdone or gimmicky, just really well-done food. Even the simple things were done right. And the slushes deserve a shoutout--they were so refreshing and the perfect combo with the pizza. Not overly sweet and actually really well balanced. The menu is fun, the food comes out fast, and everything tastes fresh. It's the kind of place you leave already talking about what you want to order next time. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered takeout...just walked in and waited a little over ten minutes. Requested the B.E.C. - bacon, egg ( over easy ), and cheddar cheese. I have a sophmoric joke...but I won't go there. Sourdough waffle was a bit sweet from I believe maple syrup. The cheese and bacon made for a well balanced tasting breakfast. Coffee Honey Slush was disappointing. Coffee flavor wasn't strong...it was okay, but I don't think I'd order it again. read more

So happy to see another great pizza place in Kailua! As someone who lived in NYC, I'm always looking for good pizza places and Nomadic did not disappoint. The sour dough crust was super yummy and all the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The piña colada slush was refreshing and flavor-packed and the Cesar salad was so good! We'll definitely be frequent customers. We went on opening day and the service was fabulous. The owner came by to chat and all the staff were so nice and welcoming. We ate inside and it had a cozy, homey vibe. A must try when you're on the East Side! read more

Nomadic was such a great find. The meat lover's pizza was delicious, and the sourdough crust was light, airy, and perfectly done. The house salad was huge -- easily enough for three -- and the fresh strawberries were a nice surprise. We finished with the pina colada slush, which was refreshing and not too sweet. A solid spot for a relaxed, satisfying meal in Kailua. read more

Ok- So as a food enthusiast I was scrolling thru my Instagram and came across a reel showcasing this place. So I figured why not venture from Pearl City to Kailua with my ohana and check it out. 1st off we got here after 1pm so they do not serve waffles after 1pm. They are closed on Sundays, parking is behind the business, with some street parking. When my ohana and I walked in, atmosphere was nice and simple, offering small tables and some outside seating as well. Everything made is sourdough based, the pizzas aren't too big, I would say for keiki ages 7 and under they could easily share one pizza. Being my two youngest are 6 and 7 they managed to eat a whole pizza between the two of them. Of course one wanted all cheese and the other one wanted meat lovers, they were able to combine it where one pizza was half meat lovers and half cheese (for the lovely price of a full meat lovers pizza of $25) to me not worth it as the meat lover toppings were few The lady who took our order wasn't very friendly, and it showed after we paid for our order. We sat at the small tables to eat the pizzas there with our lilikoi honey slushes. When we waited for our order, my husband noticed the cashier call our number and avoided eye contact as she proceeded to another table with our items as you could see the disappointment of the tip amount we gave when ordering our food. My youngest needed to use the bathroom and when I had asked if they had a restroom she was quick to reply with a not so friendly "No" Not any further recommendations as to where we could go to use a restroom. The only person who seemed really nice was a nice lady from the kitchen area, as my son had spilt his water on the table and I asked if they happen to have a mop so I could possibly clean it as I didnt want to waste their napkins. She was super friendly and helpful. Overall the pizzas were ok, not really worth $22-$25 for size and amount of ingredients Definitely expensive Also they charge extra for take out boxes So if u order to take out you will incur a charge for the box Also if u don't finish your food and want a box to go you will have to purchase one. Totally understand businesses need to make their money Wasn't impressed by the customer service from the cashier and the food was just ok Most likely won't come all the way to eat here again. read more

food is good 7/10 (pricey but good for what you are getting) waffles have a nice fluffy texture with whip and syrup- service is great , Noa is pretty nice- recommended all the food we got and recommended about the coffee shop next door (The Well), local customer service outweighs the racism is the area definitely. Store is clean , needs more spaced out seating but what can you do with a tiny shop? Karens go here a lot (just a tip for the locals) so be prepared to get stared HEAVILY at, i only leave this note here because it really is uncomfortable when you try to enjoy this side of the island and get this reaction around these kind of people. read more

I am so excited to have Nomadic here in Kailua. The pizza and honey slush are excellent. I'd love to see pita sandwiches on the menu!

Let me start by saying I rarely write a bad review, I think I have written one before on Yelp. Haven't tried anything on the menu but the pepperoni pizza. I was so excited to give this place a shot. The service was great for take out. The pizza tasted like gasoline. Not sure what type of oven they use. It was covered in cheese with close to no pepperoni. Not sure if it was an off day but wouldn't go back to spend $22 to have to throw it away. read more

Nomadic Sourdough pizza & Honey slushes are amazing! Best Pizza on this side, hands down! Everyone that's helped me at the time of ordering or giving me my order has delivered exceptional service to me. It also has a nice quaint dining area, with a few smaller tables outside on the sidewalk. Put this on your list to try, they have pizza, salads, waffles, and Honey slushes. read more

It's safe to say I'll be dreaming about this pizza until the next time I get it! Super ʻono caesar salad, as well. Easy going customer service. read more

I'm so excited to have this new pizza place in Kailua! We ordered several different ones to try and the goat one was by far my favorite. I was also really impressed by how tasty the salads were. I will definitely be coming here again. read more

Hopefully the owners are reading these reviews. We went to this location a few weeks after the opened. We ordered 2 pizzas and waited 45 minutes and did not get our pizzas we asked and the cashier she said at least another 30. We couldn't wait so we got a refund and left. We tried again today but this time placed our order online and got there about 40 minutes about after and the cashier said they didn't get the order alert and so it would be at least 45 minutes for us to get our pizzas because there was only 1 person in the back. Then she couldn't really figure out how to give a refund for the online order. Get more staff it's not fair to the staff that are there and have to deal with customers getting upset because they have one prep cook at lunch time. It's too bad we were excited to try them but never going back again. read more

Hands down one of our favorite local spots! The pizza is consistently delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. They also sell amazing honey and the slushies are seriously next level (highly recommend trying one). Zach and Heidi have created something really special -- you can feel the passion and care in everything they do. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the old location so much and food was always a 10/10! The new location unfortunately doesn't offer the delicious pita sandwiches (gosh I miss those!) and the gal at the front taking orders didn't seem very happy to help us. We tried again the next week in hopes it was a fluke but the same girl was there and my friend and I both felt super uncomfortable staying to eat there with the unkind girl at the front. Highly suggest putting a friendly face at the front- this represents your company and you want people to feel welcome when coming to your restaurant. Hope this gets fixed as I love the food!! read more

The pizza was black and burnt all over the bottom... We couldn't eat it. $55 for two pizzas and 15% tip in the trash.

Worse service ever and meh food. Went in and ordered our pizza at 5 p.m. - only one other family in restaurant at the time. Was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. Finally, at 5:55 p.m., I walked out with the pizza and Caesar salad. During my wait at Nomadic, 3 or 4 other parties walked in and were told 45 minutes, all of them walked out without ordering anything. One other person came in and picked up an order while I was waiting. Cannot figure out what took so long to get my pizza when they weren't busy. Caesar and pizza were both meh. Nothing to write home about. Will not be returning. read more

Honestly, it was disappointing and I won't be coming back. The cashier wasn't even that friendly to start with and even seemed irritated that I did not tip her. I'm glad I didn't cause she messed up making my slush by putting in coconut cream when I ordered the lilikoi slush. I'm sorry, but you just recently opened, first impressions matter. We noticed soon after she left, so we must of just came in at a bad time before her shift ended. read more

Food is good, but girl with long black hair has a serious attitude problem. Makes you fee unwelcome and acts annoyed that she has to do her job. read more

They have the best Caesar salad that I have ever had and when you go I would recommend getting the honey goat pizza

Small place with a limited menu. I ordered the meat lover pizza. Overall, it was very good. The sourdough crust added a great zest to the pizza. A few more toppings would make it excellent. I hope they get online ordering up and running. I had to go in to place the order then come back 30 minutes later to pick it up. Still an improvement over other pizza places in Kailua. read more
