I have yet to dine in person at this establishment but we often order take out to share at the office. We LOVE the chicken wings, we order a side of wings per person Sometimes though someone gets 10 pieces and others get 12 Yes we count the wings LOL When we really want to treat ourselves we pick up a few pies to share and love it. Very yummy, thin sliced and generously sized. read more

Love this place. I've been here three times since moving down the street a month ago. Their pizza is really good. The best part for our family is that they allow kids. Our kids love the fish and chips. So our combo is an order of fish and chips and two slices of pizza. read more

My friend and I were walking up and down Fort Street Mall looking for a scheduled sunset fair (which never materialized) so we decided on dropping in for a slice of J Dolan's amazing pizza. It was early Friday evening so the place was busy, but we found two chairs at the bar. I had a black & tan & my friend had red wine together with a slice of pizza each - yummy!!! The bartender was fast & attentive, even apologizing to us when the pizza was late. Despite having two J Dolan's locations (excluding the Black Shamrock) this location is still the best & most Irish atmosphere. read more

*DISCLAIMER* Ordered take out for work so this review is being written for luke warm pizza. Crust (3/5): average crust, garlicky crispy, thin, crunchy, and chewy. Pizza reminds me of a Newyork slice. They use semolina to coat the bottom of their pizza White pizza (4/5): ricotta is sweet. White sauce is mild which compliments the sweetness of the ricotta and the slight acidity of the garlic crust. The ricotta was a bit thicker with a lower moisture content. Deli meat pizza (3/5) : bacon ham and pepperoni on marinara. Sauce is more acidic which is amplified by the saltiness of the three meats Spinach pizza (3.5/5): super garlic forward. The ricotta compliments the acidity from the garlic but the ricotta is only on one portion of each slice so some bites are more acidic than others which affects the eating experience. The pizza here is good and the price is reasonable. I would recommend a white cheese pizza with ricotta. However, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to eat here. read more

If you're hungry after attending a show at the Hawaii Theatre across the street, J Dolans is the place to eat! It does get packed especially after an event, but the servers do their best to accommodate everyone. Our waitress, Jaime, was pretty much by herself tending to at least 30 diners, so props to her! My favorite pizza is the Deli Meat, but they offer custom options from their menu! I do prefer the Kahala location just because there's more free, accessible parking and it is far more spacious with outdoor dining option too, but if you're in town, check out this place out! read more

J. Dolan's - Deli meat pizza - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service was good, although a little slow - probably because there was a large party outside. This is definitely a bar-like atmosphere, it's not like a pizza hut or a place where you can talk seriously for a long time. It is clean, parking is pretty good, and it's a place where if you want to just veg out, it'll do the job. Beers on tap are good, nice selection. The pizza was okay . We had the shrimp scampi and the boardwalk. Both were okay. We also had the calamari, which was also okay. The french fries in the fish & chips were the best part of the meal. I think you would go back if you want a selection of beer and watch some sports. read more

We visit every month and frankly is is just a lovely place. The people are friendly. The food is delicious. The drinks are very good quality. It's almost always busy but a table opens up quickly. Winter" time is super chilly but a jacket fixes that right up. Easy to get to by bus. Parking is across the street and not robbery to pay for. They always have a couple of games on the tv's (baseball, football etc) Always recommend. read more

We came in for a slice of pizza and met Katie who was at the hostess stand. She took our order, brought us water, and we proceeded to talk story for a while! It wasn't busy yet so it made for a nice visit with a long time employee. When we told our friends about J. Dolan's serving slices of cheese or pepperoni pizza. Their crust is very good and it holds up nicely. Great bite. The cheese is whole milk, melty deliciousness! Their sauce has a strong flavor of oregano so it all comes together nicely! A few days later, my friends picked up 2 of their pies; shrimp scampi, and 1/2 boardwalk and 1/2 spinach ricotta (they do offer 1/2-1/2 pies) I loved the boardwalk flavors and the shrimp scampi pie. ALL were delicious!! read more

Best, best, best pizza on 'Oahu, their chicken wing soooo good too! No matter what you get it will be ono! The waitresses and bartenders are always friendly and attentive.

We were attending a play at ART @ Mark's Garage so we came early to get street parking and enjoy a bite to eat. We got there about 5:30 on a Wednesday and grabbed a table. There were a bunch of open table, not a lot but within a hour or so, place was full. No ressies but I think they do for large groups. It's got a pub feel to it but not overwhelming loud. There was a bunch of beer on tap as well as Guinness. Just came back from the UK so we had a bit of sticker shock, seeing the prices for $6.50 to $7.50 for beer. The pizze ran about $21-23 for a medium size. We got a basket each of fries (skinny shoestring style) and onion rings ($9) and the caprese salad ($11.75). We ordered a 1/2 and 1/2 with spinach/garlic and pepperoni. The thin crust was nice and crispy without being hard and I was told they don't add salt to their pizze which I appreciated since I 'm trying to be good about salt intake. The spinach and garlic was so good- perfect for garlic lovers. The dollops of ricotta cheese added a bit of sweetness to it. The pepperoni side wasn't overly greasy. If we weren't sharing with non-garlic people, we would just gotten the whole pizza as garlic and spinach. We also enjoyed the caprese salad. Dressing was good but a little much. Should've ordered the dressing on the side. All of what we ordered (1 pizza, basket of fries and onion rings, caprese salad) was enough to satisfy four of us- not stuffed but just right) Toilet situation- 1 stall each so be prepared to wait if the place is busy. read more

Waited 45 minutes to receive 1 out of 2 pizzas, 2nd pizza never came. It was apparently "on its way" after asking multiple times as other tables received theirs. After an hour and a half we gave up. Other tables received their pies before us. Not sure if its going down hill or its a one off. 3 stars because it usually isn't this bad. read more

Unlike many pubs in Chinatown, J. Dolan's has a long standing reputation for being the go-to for many who are seeking a place to grab a cold beer on tap and delicious pizza. The bonus? Great customer service abounds from the seasoned servers and bartenders. The establishment is also very well-kept and it is evident that those who serve at J. Dolan's take pride in their place of employment. TIPS: --Last call for food is 11:45pm. You'll never be disappointed with their pizza. --If you choose to park at the Chinatown Municipal underground lot, set a timer because that lot WILL CLOSE by 12am. Note: If you are able to leave your vehicle, picking it up the next day will not break your bank. It was $6 for me =) --There are two, one-stall, restrooms. Be prepared to stand in line when it's bumping. read more

I went for lunch with a group of people. There were elders in the group and it was my first time joining them. Before we arrived they warned me that the waitress was not nice. So, I watched to see what they meant and sure enough, she was quite rude because some people didn't know a lot about beer and took a while to decide which beer to order. She was rude the whole time until the end, when it was time to pay. Then, she was suddenly nice. I wouldn't have tipped her but the elders tipped her well. They said she was scary but they still tipped her well. If I go to a restaurant and the wait person is rude, whatever, I just won't come back. But when I see elders being mistreated, I have to say something. But instead of causing a scene there in front of the group I had joined for the first time, I called. The manager that called me back didn't care. She kept cutting me off and said she would investigate and call me back, but I never heard from her. There are many places to eat in Honolulu, especially downtown. Why pick a place that disrespects elders? Why pay to get rude comments? No thanks. I won't be going there again. UPDATE: The manager called me ten minutes after I posted my review. We were there on June 1 and today is mid July. That's some bad business etiquette. read more

I'd heard great things about J. Dolaba from friends so I decided to check it out. Had it not been a workday I would have indulged in a drink but I'll just have to come back to try the bar. The restaurant had a dive bar feel to it. It was clean. Service was not the best as we came during peak hours for dinner. The waitress accidentally added jalapeños but despite that the pizza was delicious.... And spicy. The Italian sausage was very tasty and the pizza sauce had good flavor. If you like a floppy pizza this is the place for you. read more

The food was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly. We ordered 3 pizzas and 3 sides which was more than enough to share between 5 adults with leftovers to enjoy the next day. The food even reheated great! The service was quick and efficient. Ordering over the phone was easy and professional with the employee confirming everything more than once. The atmosphere is calm and inviting even for being in busy Chinatown. 10/10 would recommend and definitely adding to our dinner routine! read more

Conveniently located next to many parking lots, J. Dolans is an awesome spot for some Ono grinds. My friends and I had a day off from work so we went to this gem. We ordered the calamari and onions rings for starters which were nothing short of delicious. We followed with the Giacomo and the Spinach/Garlic pies. The pies came out piping hot and were to die for! The spinach and garlic hit the spot after a few drinks. Our waitress, Brandy, was so awesome! She was so patient with our table and very personable which was so refreshing. I highly recommend checking out J. Dolans if you get the chance. I can't believe I haven't tried this place before, I was truly missing out! read more

1st time here yesterday after it came highly recommended by 2 locals. Found street parking outside of Native Books. We found a seat toward the back facing the bar to get a view of the whole restaurant Our server greeted us immediately and recommended popular apps and whole pies, to which we ordered. Calarmari was lightly battered, fried and seasoned perfectly. We ordered the Giacomo sans the black olives and subbed with mushrooms. Came out piping hot. The crust, OMG. I am never going to stop talking about the crust. Nice, just enough crisp and chew to every bite. All the ingredients held it's own bite after bite that it made me go for a 2nd piece. We also decided to add some fish and chips because why not? So glad we did because it came with nicely fried and seasoned skinny fried. The fish was perfectly battered and fried. I seriously had no complaints Wow. Love the Irish Pub vibe and food overall. Can't wait to come back again read more

We go once a week. The pizza is great. The toppings, crust, and cheese just make the pizza amazing. We mix it up and usually get a special. But if you're looking for a classic slice they got you covered with pepperoni and cheese. Let me tell you they don't disappoint. read more

J. Dolan's - Bar. - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I recently tried J. Dolan's with my wife, sister, and mom for a Sunday brunch. It is located in downtown, so parking is a hit or miss. If you can grab street parking right outside, you're set. Otherwise, there's a nearby parking lot which was $8 for two hours. To start our meal, we ordered the calamari, which is usually our standard choice. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The marinara sauce was pretty standard, and served as a nice beginning to our lunch. For the main course, we opted for one pizza with a split topping - half deli meat and half spinach/garlic. The deli meat side was my favorite, a meat lover's dream with an array of flavorful meats. On the other side, the spinach and garlic combination was equally enjoyable. The addition of ricotta cheese was bomb, and definitely proved to be a tasty choice. I've heard they have another location in Kahala, and if the parking situation there is more convenient, I'd opt for that one next time. Regardless of the location, the pizza was awesome, and that's what truly matters! read more

Great pizza and beer! Perfect place to go get a bite to eat and hang out with friends.

I'm not usually picky when it comes to my pizza but J. Dolan's never misses! I love that you can customize your own pizza, choose from their signature pies, or do a half-and-half (great for indecisive people like me!). Their appetizers are also to die for -- my favorites include the chicken wings and the fries that are sooo crispy -- perfect while you wait for your pizza. My ONLY gripe with this place is that they don't have ranch! I love ranch as my dipping sauce for both fries and pizza but you won't find that here. This location has a great open air patio area perfect for large groups or folks who want a slightly quieter space. Ample parking in the lot out front or around the neighborhood. read more

The staff at J. Dolan's is always friendly and the pizza is always so fresh and yummy.

This was the start to our long night of Christmas bar crawl. Always a good idea to carb up. The calamari and the boardwalk pizza was perfect for that. We had 3 people and it was good enough for pupus before the night began. We went at 5:30 but right at 6:00 it started getting crowded. Unfortunately I sat under the ac at the wall across the entrance and was getting spritzed with ac water every few minutes :/ other than that I would def recommend read more

This was my first time ever having J. Dolan's pizza! Hearing it from a fellow east coast girl, this place is legit when it comes to New York style pizza. My favorite is the Scampi Pie covered in bay shrimp, mushrooms and a special scampi sauce, like nothing I've ever had before. And those onion rings, I can't get enough of! There's something in that batter that makes it so crispy and so tasty. I can see why this place has so many people lining up for it and I can't wait till their Kahala location opens up real soon! read more

Good simple food. Little pricy for the portions but, good enough to share with my kiddo. Liked the beers on tap, good local options. Service was good for only two servers/bartender.
