4) Floralia
Floralia, a restaurant offering authentic Italian pizza, is now open in the Ward area. Tucked away on Kona Avenue, the makeshift pizza stand churns out some amazing pizzas quickly baked over a wood fire. Offering plant-based pizzas, this place is perfect for vegans. It is no surprise that their margherita pizza with marinara and basil is among the favorites so much that this little hidden gem often runs out of pizzas if you get there too late. Also, have the cannoli for dessert to complete the Italian experience.
