    Yummy pizza
    Mary J.

    Amazing pizza in Eyre Square in Galloway, Ireland. Crust was super good. Must go to. Apple Maps had it off by 100 yards. Loved the pizza cookbooks on the shelves on the wall.

    When you think Ireland, you certainly do not think pizza, but Dough Bros is on a mission to change that...and after eating at their spot in Galway, I fully support this mission! Voted #1 pizza in Ireland makes total sense now! This location on Middle Street in the heart of Galway is their flagship location, and is a modern space situated in a storied building. You are legit transported from old world Ireland on the outside to modern pizzeria inside. The space is laid out very well. Upon entry you hop right in line where you order, get your drinks and table number and are then led to your table based on party size. From there, once the pie is ready, a runner brings it to you. They have all the classics you are after, but also have a solid selection of house curated pies. We went with a few house pies including the Pepp Guardi-Jala and Proper Ham and Mushroom. Both were absolutely phenomenal, the dough, the cook on the crust, the cheese, toppings...*chef's kiss* Service was great from entry to exit. We were welcomed immediately, walked through the menu at ordering, assisted at our table and wished a great day. Solid service! Overall, a little jealous The Dough Bros have not made their way over the pond yet, but I guess this is just one more reason to get back to Galway sooner than later!

    I don't consider myself a pizza connoisseur by any means but I've had the privilege to try some highly regarded pizza in the US and have also tried some amazing pizza in Italy. Now I can add Ireland to that growing list. Dough Bros has been one of the most talked about pizza places in Galway and voted the best pizza there in 2022. When visiting other countries outside the US I always seek out their authentic regional cuisine but there's always room to try some different things too. This is what brought me to Dough Bros. We came for a late lunch, around 1:45 pm and the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. We considered coming back another time but changed our minds and decided to wait anyway. Wait was long. Even once inside the building at the counter, there was a long, lol between the counter person taking orders and not taking orders. I'm guessing because they were trying to give the kitchen some time to catch up. The entire time we were waiting in line I had no idea whether there would be an open table for us to sit once we ordered anyway. The restaurant was completely packed. Timing was on our side though, and we were able to have a table to sit at and drink some cold drinks while we waited for our pizza to be ready. Before too long, the pizza arrived at our table. It was piping hot and we had to wait a few minutes to be able to take a bite. The crust was thin, but still super tender. You could tell they make the dough fresh and it had that perfect chewy soft texture with a bit of crunch from the oven. It was still a bit soggy in the middle though, which was slightly disappointing since I prefer a crispy crust. The sauce was very balanced, and a generous amount of mozzarella on top. Most margarita pizzas aren't covered with mozzarella, which is one of the reasons I don't order them often. I love cheese! The flavors were balanced, and I especially loved the flavor of the sauce. I gave the Dough Bros five stars for the excellent pizza and friendly service. I could take away one star due to the length of time I stood in line and the fact that the kitchen couldn't seem to keep up however, the flavors of the pizza made the wait worth it to me. I can see why this place is so popular.

    Pizza and their own brew.

    We chatted with a local in another town who insisted we try this place out. The line was pretty long but once we had ordered and were seated, we agreed we liked the way they set it up. You stand in line for order at the counter but by the time you've done that, there are always tables available. It's a good way to provide some crowd control. The food was delicious and the menu was clever. I only hate that we weren't more hungry so we could try more of the food. We kept it pretty simple with the margherita pizza and bro-schetta. Perfect amount of food and has us wanting to come back in the future to try some of their other concoctions!

    Dough Bros has a lot of hype for a reason! This place is awesome! We came by for lunch on our recent trip to Dublin and had a great time. Their staff is very attentive and friendly, and they have such a cool menu. There are lots of "standards" but we went for something more unique and ordered the curry and potato pizza. WOW was it good. My only wish is that they had a location closer to my house in the US. Definitely worth the stop - you'll love it!

    Pizza was delicious fast quick and people who work there are very kind. Definitely stop in and have a pie

    What's up: I just got back from a trip out to the Cliffs of Moher and was looking for dinner. A quick search of food and I discovered pizza at the Dough Bros. Transit: I walked here from the Galway City Bus Stop. It's just a bit off of Shop St. Environment: The menu was posted on the outside of the building as well as inside, so you can figure out what to order before you get to the front counter. After placing my order, I was shown to a table. Staff members were friendly and after a short wait, my food was brought to the table. Restrooms are located towards the back of the seating area, on the left of the green Dough Bros sign What was ordered: - Proper Ham And Mushroom (hot and delicious. Very flavorful and not too oily) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. That was a really yummy pizza and with the cold weather, it really hit the spot. Definitely worth a try. Credit cards are accepted.

    Pizza was amazing, not what I had pictured, but it makes sense as Ireland has some of the best cheese and meat in the world! There was a line but the workers are on top of it and I had my pizza before I knew it. The vibe ties it all together, live music and a lively crowd to match

    Locally owned The Dough Bros is a very popular place. When we arrived here was a line out the door with a Disney like cue inside. You stand in line, it moves pretty quickly, to order your pizza and drinks. We were given our drinks and then, even though the place was packed, tables open quickly and we were seated. Your food is brought to the table. The pizzas were good but didn't knock our socks off. We asked for our crust extra crispy but it looked pretty much the same as those served to others. Again, tasty pizza but not the best we've ever had. Give it a try and see what you think!

    Pizza was delicious - we did wait in line for 45 mins or so but they were pretty organized and went by fast. It tastes very similar to pizza I've had in Italy! They were accommodating with seating ppl inside but if you had a big group may be good to take out.

    Margherita pizza
    Kiran S.

    When in Galway we had to check out the Dough bros. It made the top 50 pizzerias list in Europe. Ordered the classic Margherita. Perfect crust & chewy texture. Still felt like something was missing flavor wise. I went back to get their garlic dipper sauce & it brought lots of flavor. I don't think a pizza should need a dipping sauce for flavor though. Maybe will have to try a different pie next time. There's often a long line but it moves fast & fast casual ambiance. Service was great & this place has gotten many accolades on the wall. Although the pizza was an 8/10 for me. Would definitely be back, cheers!

    I was not expecting to find such quality pizza in Ireland of all places! I am still thinking about our pizza lunch from here, days later. The pizza was delicious! Thin and perfectly melted cheese. We ordered just one pizza to share between the two of us and it was plenty. The servers were friendly and personable. Lots of indoor seating and nice bathrooms.

    Cozy elevated loft seating area.

    Ultra thin crust, great charred blisters and a perfect balance of sauce, cheese and crust. The line was long and moved a little slow but it was worth the wait. They are a locally owned pizza joint, plus own a NY slice shop a couple blocks away called Lil Bros.

    Pizza was very good. Grabbed two pies after a long day at the Cliff of Moher, added a Guinness and topped off the day.

    In rainy Galway today. We were all chilled due to the wind and rain when we found (Fat) Freddie's…read more Just FYI they aren't using the adjective Fat any longer. The food options were amazing and the wood fired pizza was fantastic!! I had the carbonara with chicken and gluten free pasta which was outstanding!!

The exterior has bright…read moreorange eaves blending into the lively Quay Street around it; once inside, you'll find a relaxed, slightly bohemian space with artful décor and comfortable seating that feels like a polished local favorite. The vibe is upbeat and casual, loud but not overly so: great for group dinners, laid-back evenings, or a hearty meal after a day of sightseeing. At around 6:30pm on a Sunday night, our group of eleven needed a dinner option close to the station before our bus back to Dublin. There was no seating inside the restaurant, but plenty of space on the heated patio outside. The menu has something for everyone, with small plates, sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas, and there's also daily specials and a fairly affordable drinks menu. I ordered their Beetroot & Goats Cheese Salad (€15), which was a fresh salad of mixed leaves, beetroot, vinegary-pickled onions, acidic-sweet marinated tomatoes, rich warm goat cheese, mixed nuts, and extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. This was a wonderland of textures and flavors, with crunch and softness, acidity and earthiness; for me, the true standout was the generous portion of two sizable pieces of melty, creamy goat cheese with just a slight hint of tang. I also appreciated the fact that the salad wasn't drenched in dressing, but thoughtfully drizzled with a light EVOO and mild balsamic glaze. I initially thought it was a bit pricey, but it was a large portion, and I found the goats cheese made a great substitute for a more traditional salad protein; additionally, the freshness of the vegetables made me willing to pay more of a premium. Other great dishes included their Spicy 'Ndjuja Pizza (€16 - a thin crust pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, spicy 'nduja sausage, Cashel Blue cheese, and a drizzle of honey), Primavera (€16 - pasta with roasted chicken, sundried tomatoes, and red onion in a creamy Parmesan sauce), and their Bailey's Tiramisu (€8 - the classic Italian dessert spiked with a splash of Bailey's...it was absolutely as delicious as it sounds). I will note that the pizzas seemed to be a better value than the pastas, as they were larger portions at similar prices. All in all, Freddie's is a fun Italian-inspired (if not entirely authentic) restaurant in a heavily-flocked area of Galway, service is friendly (if a bit slow when it gets busy), and prices are reasonable for the location, portion sizes, and tasty food. It's an easy pick for anyone in the area wanting an enjoyable night out!
