A wonderful neighborhood bar in Kahala serving pizza & wings, beer, full bar drinks and showing the games on their TV's. What keeps me returning is all what I mentioned above, but also the STAFF! Joe, Jessie, Kelly, Sheena, friendly hostesses, pizza cooks and the list goes on. I always feel welcomed and taken care of. I like the rotating drafts. Air-conditioned indoor and also fresh-air outside patio seating. Clean and bright interior. Lots of parking in the lot. They do take-out. read more

It was my first time eating here with my family on a Sunday. It is a large space, which includes a bar as soon as you enter, a patio area, and dining tables in the middle of the restaurant. The calamari was okay, but not as crispy as I'd want. My husband and I shared a pizza, and it was perfect for the two of us. There was a kids' coloring page, which helped my boys entertain themselves while they waited for their pizza to arrive. Happy Eating! read more

A Perfect Day Off Slice Nothing beats a lazy day off with my little guy, and when hunger strikes, there's only one place on my mind -- J Dolan's. Tucked away in Kahala, this beloved pizza pub is my absolute go-to, and today it did not disappoint. The moment you walk in, the staff greet you like an old friend -- warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. We settled in, ordered a pie (perfectly crispy, gloriously cheesy), and I cracked open an ice-cold beer. Pure bliss. There's something special about a spot that consistently delivers -- great food, great vibes, and an atmosphere that just feels right. Whether you're with family, friends, or flying solo, J Dolan's earns every bit of its reputation. If you haven't been, fix that. This one is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back. read more

Craving for pizza and the only place open late at night near Kahala is J. Dolan's. We entered the place and it was quite loud with very little left open tables. We were greeted within 5 seconds and were taken to our tables in less than 3 minutes. It's a great start so far. We sat down and in about 2 minutes we were greeted with our server, Renata (I hope this is her name as she didn't introduce herself but it was printed on our receipt). We ordered Chicken Wings with ranch sauce. It's ok. Not the best. If I may, they should consider making buffalo wings ;) We also got their Basket of Fries. My boyfriend loved it! It's thin and fried perfectly! He's a happy camper and would go back for those fries. For our pizza, we opted for half Boardwalk Pie and Giacomo (Jack O Mo). Both were delicious but if we go back, we would have the Boardwalk of Pie again and try a different flavor. The crust we cooked to perfection. It wasn't too thick or too thin. The place is filled with so much patrons that says a lot about the place. A definite good pizza place and they have a wide range of alcoholic beverages to choose from. Thank you for reading my review. Have a blessed Sunday! read more

I've been a longtime fan of the pizza at J. Dolan's. So long, that I remember when it used to be JJ Dolan's, but I had not visited the Kahala location until last month. I am happy to report the thin crust pizzas are still delicious as ever. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away. J. Dolan's is all you want in a pub - cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and good food and drinks. It's great for a casual lunch while you watch your favorite sports game. You can order pizza by the slice or by the whole pie. If you are not in the mood for pizza, other menu options offered are fish and chips, fries, onion rings, calamari, chicken wings, and salads. I didn't see a dessert menu, but we walked over to Kahala MKT next door to satisfy my sweet tooth. J. Dolan's is open daily from 11am and is available for group reservations and private parties. read more

Service was ALOHA, and the pizza was great too - thin crust and a lot of flavor. They let you order two pizza types with a split pie. The garlic bread sticks are quite addicting. Parking lot can be tight so be patient. read more

I've been a big fan of the original J Dolan's in Chinatown for many years. The classy and cozy bar has great pizza and fun drinks, perfect for a stop in before or after a show across the street. It was great to hear a few years ago, they'd be opening a second location at the new mall across from Kahala. It was on a recent night out I tried this place with a friend and really enjoyed it. They have plenty of dedicated parking right outside. The interior has high ceilings and lots of fun kitsch mostly related to beer and Ireland. They have a big bar with stools, mostly tables around the rest of the area, and a nice umbrella table outside. The host and server were both welcoming and friendly, always attentive to get what we needed. We ordered a make your own pizza with peppers, olives, and pepperoni, a fun combination. Pizzas are the same quality as in Chinatown, great for enjoying fresh and hot. They have a nice selection of beers, wines, and hard drinks from the bar. It's a cozy and fun spot to have an Irish pub in Kahala! read more

Proof that every city has an Irish pub. The bartenders even looked Iris Great location with plenty of free parking, a beautiful bar, a big community tables, tables for two, and a banquet. We sat at the bar, big TVs with sport and no sound. It was loud and pretty busy. Guinness on tap, properly poured. We had a Caprese Salad every ingredient was top notch. Tasty fresh tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella on baby greens;also Fish and chips that arrived piping hot and the thin cut fries were insane. Unlike most pubs, they specialize in pizza. We saw a few served and a few going out the door. The New York City Irish, I guess, because they know how to make pizza. We will probably be back for pizza. read more

Stopped by J. Dolan's and had their pepperoni pizza, and it definitely hit the spot. The crust had that perfect balance--crispy on the outside but still chewy inside--and the pepperoni had great flavor with just the right amount of grease that makes a slice so good. The cheese and sauce were well balanced, and the slices were generous. Simple, classic pizza done really well. The place itself is also a great bar and restaurant to hang out in. It has a fun, laid-back vibe that's perfect for grabbing drinks and food with friends. Good energy, good pizza, and an easygoing atmosphere. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving a good slice and a chill place to grab a drink. read more

My daughter wanted pizza for her 4th birthday and unfortunately our first choice is closed on Mondays. Decided to give this J Dolan's a shot as we had only ever been to the downtown location before. Parking in the lot is TIGHT. But we managed to snag a spot and head in. Once inside we were...well...not really greeted, but met with a hostess in what looked to be some sort of half assed clown make up. She didnt say hi just asked how many and if we wanted inside or outside. I asked my daughter and she said she wanted to sit outside. The hostess then sat us at the only table outside that was in direct, harsh, sunset sunlight (there is a total of about 6 or 7 tables in the outside section and only one other one had people at it when we arrived) and walked away. Not sure if she was having a bad day or what, but its pretty unacceptable to be a hostess and not greet people properly in my book. I mean, not greeting a little girl who's clearly celebrating her birthday (she was wearing an inflatable birthday headband thing)? come on. Not wanting to be confrontational as it was my daughter's birthday we ignored it and just played some musical chairs with the sun as the sun went down. It was then that we realized that as the hostess seated more families at the other tables near us she gave the other kids coloring sheets and crayons. None of this was ever offered to my kids...not sure why, but ok. Thankfully our waiter, i forget his name, but he had a pretty epic mustache was absolutely phenomenal. Not only was he super attentive (and patient with the kids) he made suggestions and told us what his go tos were. Ended up ordering a basket of fries, an order of calamari, a cheese pie and a Giocomo pie. All the food came out hot and fresh. The calamari was good, but a too little for the $17 price tag, imo. Pizza was really good, crust is a little too thin for my liking as it got pretty floppy as we ate. But it was better than i remembered J Dolan's pizza being which is a plus. Definitely not NY pizza as some have claimed here. After we finished eating out waiter offered that since they don't have dessert we could get a cake or pie for my daughter at foodland just a few stores down and bring it back to eat at the table, which we did. He even brought out extra paper plates and forks as well a comically oversized kitchen knife to cut the pie that my daughter had chosen. This would have easily been a 4 star experience had it not been for the hostess clown makeup lady being such a grump. read more

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

I was here to watch the start of the NFL season opener, Cowboys vs. Eagles. They have two TVs behind the bar and one located on the opposite side of the bar. They have an open kitchen, so you can see that everything is clean. People ordered tons of take out pizza while we were there. It was my first time here and the food that we got was fantastic. We ordered fries (shoestring) $9, chicken wings $16, calamari $15 and a pizza. We got the half jersey white pie and half molto formaggio $23. The jersey white has shredded mozzarella, chopped garlic and New York style ricotta. The molto formaggio has six cheeses: havarti, brie, gouda, fontina, shredded mozzarella and parmesan. I also got a Coke $4. All the appetizers were good, but the calamari was my fave. The batter was crispy. The calamari was soft and tender, not hard to chew like some other places. I couldn't decide which side of the pizza I liked more. I liked the jersey white, because the ricotta was really pronounced. I liked the molto formaggio, because the brie stood out. Those two are my favorite cheeses. I guess I'll just have to keep ordering the same half and half when I'm here. read more

I have been a fan since the days of JJ Dolans... despite shortening the name to J Dolans, they didnt shorten the quality of the staffs professionalism or the food quality . Admittedly, I do frequent the DT HNL location more, due to it being close to work, but the Kahala location is bigger, so if you have a group you can easily get away having Dolans play host to your gathering. The specialty pizzas always seem to be an incredible combination of flavors that compliment each other so well that it is quite simple to be mad at yourself for only being able to eat one at a time. Residing off island, Dolans is a regularly scheduled stop before departing the island even if I am here just for a day read more

J. Dolan's - Let the maniacal foodie tour begin ... once again. - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I enjoyed a casual dinner at the Kahala J. Dolans. So much free parking as compared to the downtown location. Got seated quickly. Not a big pizza eater but enjoyed the Caprese salad that was wonderful. Some people ordered the pepperoni pizza. I had to try at least one slice so I ordered a cheese pizza slice. Everything was made well, it was a tasty thin crust, so tender. Good ambiance - a dark wood decor, Hollywood signed picture in the bathroom, felt like a real pub. Courteous and quick waitress. She was helpful and we really liked the food here. read more

Another great lunch. Thanks to server Valerie for her excellent service. Even while the restaurant was filling up she friendly and attentive.

First visit to the J. Dolan's on Waialae Avenue, in the Kuono Marketplace. A pib that specializes in pizza...they offer slices of their cheese pizza...and that is what I had while watching Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Excellent. I believe it was a Brooklyn style pie. Also, requested a basket of both chicken wings and fries. The wings were salty but still good. Fries were shoestring cut - not my fave - but alright. Got one Corona...kept it to one because I am a lightweight and driving. I've been to the Chinatown location...too busy and parking is too much of a hassle, so this is a good alternative. A bit overpriced - except for their pizzas - basket of wings was $16. Lots of mall parking stalls. After an 0-2 start... I am a longtime Oilers fan...left after the 1sr period. The Oilers score and the oil from the wings and fries didn't sit well with me. read more

I wasn't sure if this was the offspring of the J Dolan's in Chinatown. For some reason I thought the name of the place in Chinatown on Bethel Street was called JJ Dolan's. Oops, there goes my astigmatism again. Need stronger reading glasses. First off, the parking - did not like. Not the restaurant's fault though. I do know that parking lots and spaces in Hawaii are ATROCIOUS with ALL CAPS. SIMPLY HORRIBLE. Small, cramped spaces, limited stalls. Get lucky if someone is leaving, or else circle around and around like a buzzard or vulture. See someone leaving? Hurry! Put on your blinker!! Back up a few feet!! Hope the guy backing up doesn't smash into me! Hope I don't smash the car behind me! I don't dare back up into the stall, unless I want death threats, plus, I am not a backer-kind-of-person. I hate ppl who back up repeatedly while a chain of cars builds up due to incompetent car-handling skills. It's worse at work when you are running late and the person is backing up, pulling out, backing up, pulling out...makes you want to scream - I usually just glare at them, throwing daggers from my eyes. Don't be that person, please. My mission here to educate one horrible backer-upper at a time. Just think, if you dive nose-first into the stall, you saved yourself maybe a few minutes, and over a few years, that will equal thousands of minutes, and hours and weeks and years of your life! Stop backing unless you absolutely have to!!! Do you want to waste your life backing up? SERVICE: Really nice. The place was empty when we got there on a Friday afternoon, a little before lunch but started to semi-fill up when we were done. Our waiter had a super cool moustache and he was nice and friendly and totally efficient! Loved him! FOOD: We got to make a whole pizza half and half. Half veggie and half meat lovers. It wasn't as greasy and tasty as the downtown location, but it was good and piping hot. Lovely dollops of sweet ricotta on my spinach and garlic pizza that was easy on the garlic but still yummy. PRICE: one pizza, one fruit punch with tax, before tip was about $31.00. RETURN FACTOR: if there is parking. read more

My friends and I were going to a concert at Hawaii Theatre and needed to eat dinner first so we decided on pizza because it's yummy and filling! When we walked in, we didn't know what to do so we just stood by the entrance and a server came by and told us it was self seating - oops! We picked a table to fit the 3 of us and the server came by with menus. The atmosphere was dim and slightly loud because they had sports games showing on tvs and the place seemed to be about 60% ish filled and this was 5:15pm on a Tuesday! We ordered and shared the spinach and garlic pizza, salad, and chicken wings. I didn't try the chicken wings since I had a lingering cough from my cold (not suppose to eat fried), but my friends devoured them! The pizza was so so good!!! It was a thin crust, garlicky spinach and had a dollop of ricotta cheese on each slice. The salad was nice to balance everything out, but I love salads! Oh and we had to use to bathroom before we left. There's a very faded sign on the ground that once said "watch your step" with a step up... so watch your step! :) read more

One of our go to pizza places. We love the food and atmosphere at this J Dolan location. It is not too busy and we normally do not have to wait. There were only two of us so we are glad that they have frings (fries and onion rings) combo. We normally go with the shrimp scampi and giacomo pizza. I love their wings and great with a drink. The food can out quickly and the quality was great. Our waitress was a funny lady and very friendly. We will probably go back in a month or so. read more

Our local sports bar when we are in town. Love the atmosphere. The service and food is great. Highly recommend pizza and wings.

Service and food were excellent. Although it's advertised as an Irish pub it's more of a NY pizza joint with Irish pub vibes. We went twice during our weekend stay. Also it's open on Sunday unlike every other restaurant in the area. They do Pizza by the slice. We also had wings and fish n chips. read more

It was nice being seated right away at J Dolan's Kahala. Didn't expect that. The place is always buzzing and isn't the best spot to have an actual conversation, but the food is good. Our server was great also - very peppy, easy to understand, gave us a good rec, and checked on us frequently. We waited awhile for the pies, though - I guess it was busy and they were inundated by takeout orders? But, I would say they should take care of the in-person customers first? I think it must've been either an assembly line issue or an oven space issue because the frings came out very fast, but the pizzas took maybe 40 minutes. At least it was hot & fresh when we finally got it. It's that Jersey white pie for me, but it is very rich. read more

We ordered onion rings for an appetizer. Then we ordered 2 Giacomo "Jock O Mo" pizzas for dinner. The food was good and we loved that the pizzas was a thin crust. Service was friendly and fast. Ambiance is dark in there. But, casual and comfortable. It seems like a nice place to come back to again. read more

Its O'ahu time, and I wanted to share some of the places I hit during my trip to da 'aina. My cuz & I dropped by JD's Waialae late night for pupus and drinks. We also caught the tail end of the Stanford vs UH Men's VBall game. Too bad the Bows lost a tight match in 4 sets. We shared wangz and calamari, and also had a couple of beers. I couldn't remember the individual prices, but the total b4 tax was reasonable at ~ $60. First of all, the wangz were spicy and meaty. They were battered nicely, and the batter had all the spices and heat. Secondarily, the calamari was a big portion, and it was GBD. The batter was light, and the calamari was tender. Regarding the ambiance, its spacious in here. We sat at the bar, and we could see lots of tables for four, as well as larger tables for bigger groups. The bartenders wore black vests, if I am not mistaken. Odd story: I go #1 in the urinal, and did not lock the door bc there is a urinal and toilet. Some DB comes in after me, and says the toilet doesn't have any privacy bc there is a pony wall vs a lockable stall. I ignored him and proceeded to wash my hands. Then this mthrfukr says, he wants me to leave. I told him to fuk off. I was there first. If you had a problem w/ someone being in the bathroom the same time as you, you should have waited outside. Mind you, this is coming from a guy who has prolly pissed on a golf course, on a wall, or in a parking lot of a bar when he was drunk: So fukn lame! They should have a lockable stall for the toilet, so I don't have to deal w/ bitches like this. On the other hand, the bartenders were cool, and got us everything we needed. The only downside was we asked for tartar sauce, and they charged us $1.50: Palm to face. I'd come back to JD's for the food and the service. I hope they put a real stall for the toilet, so guys can be efficient about using the restroom, and accommodate assholes like the one I encountered. read more

This was my second visit at J. Dolan's. We went for lunch at 11:00 on a weekday. It was quiet for the first 30 minutes until the lunch crowd arrived. We got onion rings, salad and a pizza to share.

Thank you so much. We saw a female worker painting the outside tables. Later we found out that she was a manager and she was put a fresh coat of varnish on the tables. Bathroom was clean too.

Went to J Dolans this past weekend. It was so good. The food did take a lot longer than expected. They quoted me 30-35 mins but when I got there we waited another 20 mins for food. Other than that the food was good even after we took it home. The pizza was cold but I am guessing their deep fryer was backed up and so my pizza was waiting on the line. The toppings I chose were ricotta cheese, meatballs, jalapeños, and pepperoni. The fish and chips were surprisingly really good!! We will definitely be ordering this again. The jalapeño poppers were tasty as well. Will definitely be back read more

J. Dolan's - Pizza, fish and chips, and jalapeño poppers - Pizza Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great pizza! Can always count on J Dolans to satisfy my pizza cravings. Casual, dim lit bar/restaurant. Servers are fast & know the menu and drink menu well. My husband and I love going here and the one in downtown because of the ambiance and vibes. They even gave my daughter a little coloring paper with crayons. We ordered half spinach and garlic & half of their special they were doing with pepperoni, salami and mushroom. We always love the spinach & garlic because of the ricotta dollops and it is so garlicky. The special was good as well! We loved the mushrooms on it. Crust is thin and crispy. The pie is on the smaller side since me & my husband can polish off the whole thing without getting too full. We always order the onion rings and chicken wings to go along with it. The chicken wings are so moist and battered to be really crispy! They don't serve ranch so we usually order it with a side of honey mustard. Pairs really well surprisingly! The onion rings are the best! So crispy because of the batter and piping hot when they come out. Good amount of onion in it as well. read more

The interior is really nice and with lots of TVs to watch football and baseball games. I will say that the service was slow but maybe it was because it was a Saturday night.
