J. Dolan's in Chinatown has some of the best pizzas and just overall such a chill vibe. Everyone just seems to be having the best times at J.Dolan's. It is in Chinatown so parking can be rough, but it's the perfect spot to either start or end your night at. Definitely catered to the younger ish crowd. When I went in they were playing 2000's pop punk and most people were singing along. We got the spinach and garlic pie and added anchovies (don't yuck my yum ok) the pizza comes with spinach, garlic and ricotta cheese dolloped on top. I love a nice thin crust and a little burnt for that extra bitter flavor and J.Dolan's definitely provides that. We also ordered some drinks but I can't say that they were anything special. I think I had some of their speciality shots and I rather wish I didn't. But hey, ya live and ya learn. read more

J. Dolan's - White pizza with anchovies - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'd been hearing rave reviews about J Dolan's and finally came for a Thursday 49ers game. Empty at first, but it was full by 5pm - and we still got a table after moving from the bar. We were excited to try the pizza (my dad likes JD and Black Shamrock Tavern for their pizza). The spinach garlic pizza with added chicken was so good! The jalapeño poppers were also solid. Overall, it was really nice to be able to hang at a table with pizza and drinks on a football night (afternoon) - would not be able to find space like this in the Bay. And, for 4 people, the total came out to 74.05$ including tip! Can't wait to make another trip to J Dolan's while we're here. read more

After checking out the reviews we decided to give their pizza a try. We ordered the Gacaimo. The pizza crust was the best part. Toppings were under wheeling and salty. Could even tell if there was any sauce. Leaving this pizza lackluster and needing flavor. Additionally, we selected to go here because of the advertised beer selection. When I placed my drink order, the waitress told me the beer was not available. It was listed on the web site and the board outside the entrance. I felt deceived and the suggested alternative was not even close to beer I ordered. At the prices for drinks and food we expected a better experience. Very disappointing and still in search of a decent pizza in downtown Honolulu. read more

Solid spot. A go-to for dine in and takeout. When another spot I planned to go to today was closed, I checked to see if J. Dolan's was open and sure enough they were! Not only are their pizzas top notch, their sides too! I love their onion rings, their jalapenos poppers, and chicken wings to name a few. The server was also extremely friendly--we really liked her. I'm happy we ended up here today. Will be back like always! read more

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

J. Dolan is a pizzeria ritual spot in Downtown, Honolulu. This place has that magic, you know what this magic means if you have been to an epix pizzeria places in NYC and Brooklyn. Its hard to describe the magic but it happens when the hot temperature meets with the perfect pie sauce, toping and the synergy. Its like getting a hit with dopamine overload and you almost get lost in the moment from the first bite to the next 2-3 slices of pizza. You become the moment and moment becomes you and the pie speaks to you. You become the pie and soon or later, you wake up from that dream. Oh! What a massive pizzeria orgasm that I just woke up from. :) 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

Downtown and the start of the New Lunar Year of the snake. We were craving for pizza and where else to satisfy our hunger. This was an early dinner since we were planning to see Nurse John at the Hawaii Theater which is across the street from Dolan's. We had the Garlic and Spinach pizza and it was so delicious. Fresh spinach, garlic and ricotta cheese. Yum. The service was great and our server was super nice! Ambiance is fine if you don't mind music in the background and lots of chatter. read more

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

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

*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

I got half Margherita, half Motto Formaggio. The Margherita was decent: I've had better but I liked how they were generous with the basil. The Motto Formaggio wasn't as good as I hoped. I ordered takeout so the cheese hardened by the time I ate it. I'm sure it would've been more delicious if I ate it at the restaurant then and there. But the flavors for the all-cheese pizza were a bit bland. I really enjoyed the onion rings; I thought they were fried very well and they tasted so yummy with ketchup! The workers there are nice and timely with their pizza orders which made the experience a whole lot better! Overall, pizza is okay, onion rings are good, but service is great! It definitely hits the spot if you're craving pizza late at night. 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

My favorite place to go for pizza on the island. Simple New York style pizza. It never disappoints, friendly, tentative staff at the bar

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. That atmosphere is the old-school pub style of Chinatown I remember as a kid there's another place like it. Lots of history good times and memories went down in that place. read more

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

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

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

I'm from Chicago and this place has excellent pizza. Great beer selection. Great service

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

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

Pies are always good. Spinach and garlic. And the kids were happy with cheese. Fast and easy to order over the phone.

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

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
