Ono’s Malasadas

OUR STORY

While on their annual vacation to the Hawaiian Islands, Sophia Bussio and her family discovered Malasadas, a Portuguese fried sweet dough, a food staple in Hawaii. Sophia and her family saw the opportunity to bring the malasada magic to Provo. Excited to embrace the opportunity, the Bussios dove headfirst into the world of fried dough, later naming their new company “Ono’s Malasadas.”

OUR NAME

The name, a fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese, encapsulates what a malasada truly is. “Ono” in Hawaiian means “delicious,” while in Portuguese, “Malasadas” translates to “bad dough” — a contradiction that perfectly describes the treat.

🚧 Notice: Intersection Closed (800 North & 850 West)

We try to make sure you all know about road closures, but we decided to add a little more context for this one. Provo City is looking to make the intersection at 800 N. and 850 West safer and so currently they have shut down the intersection completely.

They do have plans to reopen it, but not until it has been redesigned and made safer for drivers and pedestrians.
