Visit Hawai`i Island: Knead & Bake

We decided to pick up food to eat before a private dinner with Na`au, and I ended up ordering online from Knead & Bake in The Shops at Mauna Lani.
Plesant Ave

Pleasant Ave consisted of pepperoni, salami, roasted red peppers, and bacon.


Chicken Pesto

Chicken Pesto consisted of pesto, mozzarella, ricotta, chicken, basil, and cherry tomatoes.

I thought both pizzas were really good, and they didn't skimp on toppings, although I would've liked a crisper crust.  The Pleasant Ave was my favorite because of the bacon, but I would've preferred them in crumbles vs strips (so you get bacon in every bite!).



Spring Salad

I was not pleased with the salad.  For $12, I got a 5x5-inch clamshell of spinach, with a few bacon strips, crumbles of Gorgonzola, and a sparse sprinkling of macadamia nuts.  

The pizzas were pricey as well for the size ($20+ each), but I expected that, especially for the location.  However, the $12 salad was an utter disappointment.  

If you visit Knead & Bake, definitely stick with pizzas!
