Monkeypod Kitchen - Waikiki

Guide to Ko Olina, Oahu

"Led by Chef Peter Merriman, this casual eatery has become a local institution with locations across the islands; it features local craft brews, live music, and a menu built around locally sourced fish and housemade desserts. The kitchen is known for its hand-tossed pizzas cooked in a kiawe wood-burning oven and for its addictive homemade cream pies, and you can’t come without trying what many consider the best version of a mai tai, topped with the restaurant’s signature honey-lilikoi foam." - Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna Carly Caramanna is a theme park and travel journalist who has spent her professional career in New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles.
