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!
Hidden Gem Alert: J. Dolan's Irish Pub Last night, we decided to venture out of Waikiki and discovered J. Dolan's Irish Pub--a fantastic spot for thin-crust pizza in Honolulu! The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the whole vibe of the place was so welcoming. We also ordered the chicken wings, which I really enjoyed paired with a side of ranch, and the garden salad, which was fresh and delicious. On top of the amazing food, the service was excellent, making the experience even better. If you're in Honolulu and craving some seriously good pizza, wings, and great service, J. Dolan's is a must-try!
Haven't been to J Dolan in a while so we stopped by and it was great as always Lana provided great customer service We got the following items CALAMARI Pizza DELI MEAT GIACOMO
On a Friday night the bar and dinner area are busy! There's a wait for a table or you can sit at the bar, just getting lucky to get a seat or two when you can. It has a vibe I'm back in the city of Boston or a New England and it feels a place I'd like to swing by after a hectic day at work. I grabbed a slice of pizza and a glass of wine. Later did I learn the bartenders make fantastic drinks and they are adorable under $10, which since living here it's usually anywhere from $12-$25 a drink. I only tried a slice of the cheese pizza and know I could probably eat the whole Pie by myself, i have to go back asap to make sure I wasn't imagining delicious pizza like this here in Hawai'i. Derek was a bit more attentive than Russ after switching seats at a point for a different view. I hate sitting with my back to the door. The bathrooms are one stall for each gender in the back, pretty clean for a pub setting. There is an ATM in side to the right of the door if you need it, I didn't even notice it at first.
I'd been hearing rave reviews about J Dolan's and finally came for a Thursday 49ers game. Empty at first, but it was full by 5pm - and we still got a table after moving from the bar. We were excited to try the pizza (my dad likes JD and Black Shamrock Tavern for their pizza). The spinach garlic pizza with added chicken was so good! The jalapeño poppers were also solid. Overall, it was really nice to be able to hang at a table with pizza and drinks on a football night (afternoon) - would not be able to find space like this in the Bay. And, for 4 people, the total came out to 74.05$ including tip! Can't wait to make another trip to J Dolan's while we're here.
Aloha Ahiahi, kinda late here in Hawai'i Nei; 9/24/2024. Dinner @J.Dolan's last evening, my Husband David wanted to come here & wanted me try their Pizza. (He kept raving about how good their Pizza is here!!). Someone @the Hospital he works at, bought Pizza for his Entire Department, Her Department & an Icu Department, to thank them for taking care of their loved one!! Very Appreciative of that person I'd say!! This Chill Pizza Joint is located right in our Hawai'i Chinatown, it pretty easy to find if your familiar with not only our lil Chinatown in Hawai'i Nei, but it's very near our "Hawai'i Theater", real Super easy to locate, you can't miss this place!! Arrived here right around 8:00 pm. Ish or So, this place was pretty busy & all the Tables were pretty filled up! We walked inside, I was looking for a Waitress l, then I heard this Wahine named *Brandi* yell out, OPENED SEATING, okay, I heard you Brandi, Loud & Clear...Lol. Found our Seats, *Brandi* came back to our table asking if if we wanted anything to drink, we Said sure. Water for David (Sm Glass??), then I ordered a Diet Coke, I prefer a Diet Pepsi more, but I'll take whatever "Diet Drink" they have, atm. Brandi came back with our Drinks, esp with David manini Cup (lol!) of H2o, which I even asked her if maybe she could put David Water in a bigger glass, maybe?? Not too sure if she heard me, okay, Whatevers?!! Haha... By then, both of us are hungry & we had the Menus, thnx *Brandi* 4 getting me a 2nd Menu. We ordered A Salad to share, Sorry, I wasn't too much impressed with their Salad, "Tossed Green Salad" is what we ordered, just too much Balsamic Dressing (Imho!) was drenched into our Salad, we barely ate half of it, kinda wish that they put some Olives & Carrots in our Salad!! Lol. By then, we asked if we could Order our Pizza, half & half Style & *Brandi* our Waitress told us why sure we can do that, Super cool!! We even asked *Brandi*, since it was our 1st time eating at this Pizza place, if she the could recommend which PizzaS are popular that most ppl Order from here!! She then recommend the PizzaS that we Ordered, which were the, "Giacomo & Spinach & Garlic Pizza", not bad price for our Pizza ($23.50), Considering that the Pizza was a pretty Nui Size for the both of us, when our Pizza order arrived to our Table, nice & Hot!! The Pizza was good tasting & filling for us. I didn't try the "Spinach & Garlic" Slice of Pizza, I was too full after enjoying my (2) Slices of the "Giacomo" meat Style of Pizza. My Husband David, really enjoyed his (2) Slices of the "Spinach & Garlic" Pizza. We again, had leftovers to take home with us!! I also ordered some French Fries, which again I didn't know that you can order a half Sz order, per our Cool Waitress *Brandi*, little did I know that the French Fries were going to be Delish, Shoe String style of French Fries! We would definitely order a Side order of those French Fries again, Full order!! Haha. Great service here, our Waitress constantly filled up David Water, checked on us Continously, which was Nice, especially knowing that she was the only Waitress Working the Entire place that evening, while the *Bartender* brought our food to our table & other ppl Pizza orders to their respective tables aswell!! We will definitely be back here again, to enjoy their Ono Pizza & maybe next time, Hubby David can enjoy a cold glass of beer! He couldn't drink beer that evening, he had to work the next day at the Hospital he works at, (12 hr) shift, so yeah. Why only 4 Stars, it was our 1st time here & I'm pretty sure when we come back & try other yummies on the Menu, I'm pretty sure I'd rate them, with 5 Stars :). We'll, Hopefully also that your Water glasses are Bigger & not that Manini Sz, that was served to my Husband. Our Waitress came by lots & lots of times to refill his Water, that was really Cool of her!! Mahalo Nui, *Brandi*, your a Hardworking Wahine & Funny too!! Lol. Mahalo Nui, J. Dolan's for your Great tasting Pizza & your Ono Crispy French Fries!! Hope you'll get some *Diet Pepsi* on your Menu Soon. Lol!
Yup never been here... It's certainly better late than never as I planned on something else though J.Dolan's had crossed my lunch path you know I had to given them a peek. This cool Irish pub in Bethel Street seems basic from the outside though once you walk in the vibe here is just calm and welcoming (don't tell them that lol!) as many folks chose to sit at the bar so grabbed a table in the corner and ordered me a pizza. The staff here are on top of it as I entered she greeted me instantly and got my settings and order in a jiffy I enjoyed the various decor with Eminem to a Hawaiian Quilt. Taking it directly from the menu "Giacomo" is pronounced "Jock O' Mo" which has pepperoni, sausage, salami & black olives it sounds like the topping I'm ready for and what a deal as the pizza here is quite massive! Thin crust so you need two hands and with cheese and peppers table side they don't mess around as you need to fold this one to take a bite and what bite it was. Hot and delicious along with a cozy vibe...the slice of heaven is hot here! Thank you!
