Pizza Dadi - CLOSED

Pizza Dadi is known for their NY style pizza with the thin crust. They have a small menu with about 7 different pizzas, and a few salads and appetizers. It's BYOB. They have some sodas and juices in the fridge. The pizzas are priced between $17-$20. My favorites are the Dadi fries, NYC pizza, and the cheese, onions, & honey pizza which was a special.

They are located inside Ward Centre by Kids City Adventure. This is a casual spot where you order at the entrance and then take a seat anywhere that's open. The cooks will bring the food to your table when it's ready. If you're coming with 4 or more people, it would be best to sit at the counter instead of a table. For parking, I prefer to park at South Shore Market since the spaces are larger than the ones in Ward Centre.

Westman Cafe + Lounge - CLOSED

Westman Cafe + Lounge is a brunch spot located in Waikiki. They are open daily from 7am - 2pm. Their menu consists of breakfast and lunch items with a local flare. My favorites were the Big Island honey souffle pancakes and the wagyu loco moco. The souffle pancakes take 20 minutes so place an order with your waiter once you get seated. The pancakes are great for sharing between 3 people and everyone can still order their own entree. The wagyu loco moco was excellent but that item was filling because of the meat and rice.

The interior of the restaurant is spacious, breezy, and has a lot of natural light. They have a few tables on the lanai that overlooks Beach Walk. This place is great for a casual lunch with friends or family and they can accommodate groups. I would suggest making a reservation because they do get busy during the peak lunch hour. For parking, you can park in the Bank of Hawaii Waikiki Center and ask for validation.

Little Sparrow

Little Sparrow is known for their spaetzle bowls. This is the only place on Oahu you can get fresh spaetzle which is a type of pasta or dumpling that originates from Germany. Their prices range from $15 - $20. They also have weekly specials posted to their Instagram. My favorite so far is the garlic shrimp spaetzle because the shrimps were large and the cheese spaetzle compliments it.

You can find Little Sparrow at the farmers market in Honolulu (Blaisdell, Kakaako, KCC), Kailua, and Mililani. Your order is made fresh, and it does take about 10-15 minutes. You can also watch them cook your food on the side as you wait.
