It’s been a long time coming.

Prima Kailua opened in September — yes, five months ago — and I finally made my way out to the Windward side to try this latest in a series of indie eateries.

This restaurant, located right next to Foodland on Hekili Street — by the way, there’s no sign, so you have to just trust me — is a collaborative effort by Nobu Waikiki alums (and Melt food truck owners) Alejandro Briceño and Lindsey Ozawa and co-partner Kevin Lee, most recently sous chef at Dovetail in New York City.

The concept is like this: good — meaning, tasty and healthy — food on small plates. Food to share. Simple.

Here’s what a recent meal at Prima looked like, once we found it:

Bring on the pizzas!

Prima offers six different kinds of pizzas, though you can add your own extra toppings if you want. We went with two: the Prosciutto Rucola (shown) and the Funghi, both $15.
