Floralia

This place is seriously good. And the ambiance is really nice, as I had no idea there was an indoor area. It has a bar and nice lighting with a couple of wine fridges!I don't know how they able to do it but the Cesar salad was seriously delish! Creamy with the authentic flavor of an actual Cesar salad yet it's vegan!!!! How? Actually I don't care, I'll take three more please!We had a margarita and white pizza and they were both so good. The crust is nice and crispy while being light and chewy too. The wine list is complementary and reasonably priced.Will definitely be coming back here to try some other dishes.

It's a totally vegan wood-fired pizza place, what's not to love? We came with my parents (my mother is vegan, my dad and I are vegetarian, and my husband is omnivorous) for dinner while we were visiting them in Hawaii, and I am pretty sure we're going back again next time we visit!We ordered three of the wood-fired Neapolitan style pizzas (I don't think we saw the New York style on the menu at the time), the Marinara (because my husband is wary of vegan cheese and wanted something to fall back on), the Paradiso, and the Pesto Royale. We also got a side of the Caesar dressing to dip the crust in, and I 100% recommend it! None of the pizzas were disappointing (even the Marinara one), but the Pesto Royale was probably my favorite, and the Paradiso was the favorite of my Mom and the husband by a landslide! Dad was tied between the Pesto Royale and the Paradiso, so we're definitely going to have to get that again next time, LOL. The crust is really authentic to other Neapolitan pizza places I've been to (don't be fooled by other reviews lamenting burnt spots on the crusts, that's part of this style of pizza and they were absolutely doing it right), and the Caesar dressing as dipping sauce for the crusts was divine! (They also have marinara and a vegan hot honey sauce, which we may need to also try next time... Or just get a second dipping cup of Caesar, it's so good!) We also got basically all the desserts that were available at the time--Cheesecake (w/cherries), Tiramisu, and both the chocolate chip and pistachio cannolis. My Italian (by blood) husband said the shell on the cannolis were spot on and perfect, and we liked the pistachio one best. My parents' favorite was the Tiramisu (the cheesecake was okay, but the other desserts simply outshone it).The outdoor area was really nice in the evening, and from what we could see of it, the interior dining area also looked nice. I like that you can see the oven and the kitchen area looks like a food truck (probably a nod to their origins?). The service was extremely friendly and helpful, as well--all around a great place and I can't wait to go back!

Okay I never thought I'd be down for vegan pizza, but here we are eating almost a whole damn pie cause it's that good. Discovered Floralia a year or so ago on a whim, and it's become my favorite! The fact that it's all vegan makes it feel healthy. Like I don't feel heavy or gross after it.My go to is the Pesto Royale, which is absolutely delicious. My 2nd go to is the Paradiso. The "proteins" on each are enjoyable and aren't offputting like other vegan proteins. I really enjoy the authentic coal fire taste, which can only be achieved with their professional oven. The Ceasar salad is delicious, but is kind of small for the portion size. Cannolis are pretty big, and both pistachio and chocolate chip are tasty. The outdoor seating area is preferred, as it can get pretty toasty in their newer indoor dining area.A few gripes. I often leave super parched, which i think has to do with the salt content of their pizzas. Crust will also be on the softer side, meaning it'll often limp from the toppings and sauce. Parking can be hit or miss, with multiple towing signs - haven't run into any issues though. The last time I went, the hostess/server was a tad unpleasant. I preordered for takeout but when we arrived, my friends and I changed our minds and wanted to each there since the courtyard had such a nice ambience. At first the hostess obliged by providing water cups, napkins and plates, but was pretty cold and ignored us for the rest of the night. Keep in mind there were only 2 other tables dining in. Left a tip anyway for her time, but just felt super unwanted. For those reasons, will likely continue with just takeout orders.

Cute new spot right behind McKinley Car Wash. It's vegan and I am definitely not, but the food was delicious enough that it didn't matter. Service is good, gets a little busier during peak times which is to be expected. Food is pretty quick and portions are good sized. The pizzas are not super crispy but sturdy enough that I can hold it up and everything stays on it. The flavors were tasty and if I didn't know it was vegan not sure how easily I would have actually thought it was vegan- IYKYK. The cannoli was also yummy! Pretty large size too. I'd come back again if my friend who likes vegan asks :) worth trying once even for meat eaters. The hubbies were pleased and left full and happy.

Best Caesar salad ever. Charming place, flies were annoying, but it's Hawaii, can't help that.

The best pizza I have ever had! We were staying in Waikiki and I had read about Floralia. When I suggested taking Uber to the restaurant, my mom argued "why bother? It is Hawaii! They are not known for their pizza!" I got her to agree to go and we were both so glad we did! The pizza was so tasty and we had the best strawberry cheesecake. The courtyard was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff were very sweet and seemed very dedicated! The only thing I would improve is having two servers not just one! The server had too much to handle by herself...she did it but I was stressed just watching her try to manage everything!

Hubs wanted Italian for dinner. He didn't want to go too far or wait too long since he was hungry. Found Floralia. We found a table to sit while Hubs went to order all the things on the chalkboard specials with the chef at the front desk. While waiting I was reading the menu and noticed "All ingredients are plant based." I mumbled, "Oh this whole restaurant is vegan." IDNK that. DD said "Yeah, it says it on the sign outside."When the food was gradually arriving, with each dish we were so impressed of how good everything tasted The Caesar Salad OMG! It's got to be my new favorite salad. I enjoyed it so much and Hubs saw how we were fighting for the last piece so he decided to order another one . Yes, it was that good.The meatball marinara was another favorite. The fresh basil I could est on its own. Fragrant. The sauce---YUUM! I wanted to just dipped into it with my pizza crust. The pizza was wood fired. We watch from afar how ea one came out nice and golden. The bacon and pineapple was yummy.

We come here periodically because my bestie enjoys vegan dining. While I myself am not a dedicated vegan, I do enjoy some vegan dining spots in Honolulu. Floralia has some of the best tasting pizzas I have ever had. I always look at the special pizza and consider it seriously. This visit I tried the special pizza and it was extremely good. My bestie went with her favorite pizza. What she really was eyeing up was the Tiramisu dessert. It's a must have for her. Oh yeah.... Focaccia bread is also a must have. Service was 5 Star PLUS. Entire staff is so friendly and attentive. We love Floralia.

Ordered on Uber Eats, took about 40 minutes so not too bad. Was concerned when it was being delivered on a bike but assumed it would at least be in a insulated bag however it was not, he literally carried my pizza with tiramisu by hand and made another stop on the way. Pizza was cold and limp, however not even being piping hot would have saved this pizza, was undercooked, the meatballs were ground beef and the whole thing totally tasted horrible. Tiramisu also don't bother, tasteless and gooey, hard pass on this place.

Unfortunately they wouldn't allow us to eat our Floralia take out on their benches. We did tip for the take out, but I guess their policy is you need to go through ordering process with server to sit there, regardless of how much space is available. Not a huge deal, but just an uncomfortable experience for loyal customers to not feel welcomed.
