    Best brick oven pizza in Honolulu. I've ordered many a take out and dine in here over the years Food and Service here is consistent. You'll always find the same 2 friendly faces /bartenders at J Dolan's open seat Bar. Pizza: Thin(brick oven) Crust. Fresh & Quality Ingredients. Best when warm but if you take leftovers home, pizza is still delicious cold. Parking: street parking available as well as across the street at Marks Garage

    Most known for its pizza, J Dolan is an established tavern in Downtown Honolulu. It has a cozy, dimly lit, air interior with friendly service. We had half Spinach and Garlic pizza and half Scampi. We devoured it!

    Fantastic place. I visited both locations. I really like the location on Bethel Street. Derek is a great bartender and the atmosphere and crowd was great! It's right near the Hawaii Theatre and a good place to go to both before and after. I really liked the pizza too... definitely my new place to frequent.

    Very chill atmosphere. Enjoy coming with my school friends here. Parking may be challenging but you can pay for a spot across the street. Their wings and pizza are tasty. Match it with your favorite beverage of choice and you're golden. Since you are in a bar atmosphere, you may be limited with the drink choices. But still overall good if you just want to stop, have a drink and relax.

    Delicious pizza!!! A nice pub. I can imagine it must be really fun at night. They have a full bar and a good selection of food items.

    Great little pub with the best pizza in town! If you are in China town area you need to make a point to stop in for a pie and refreshments.

    The pizza didn’t have as much toppings as I expected from previous photos. The Italian sausage was crumbled up. Not a very visually appealing pizza. The crust remained crunchy after I got it home.

    Ordered a pie here. The staff was super cool they allowed me to choose two different specialty pizzas and make it one. Half and half or whatever. Pizza is good, pub is super loud a lot of energy happening here.

    Went to J. Dolans for lunch yesterday. Friendly Wait staff. Nice selection of beers. Good ice tea. We had an order of chicken wings and the onion rings. These were perfect size for two people and both pupus (appetizers) were very tasty good! This place is popular so it was noisy during our lunch. J. Dolans is definitely be worth a try. We'll be back for the pizza it looks really good...

  • 5/5 Craig O. 1 year ago on Google
    This is truly a unique experience. This location combines the elements of an Irish Pub with New York style pizza. It features a fully stocked bar with a rotating tap. The pizza is absolutely amazing and the location features a rotating special menu with items like Mexican Pizza, Meatball Pizza, or any combination of your favorite toppings and cheeses. They also offer Poppers, Wings, and Salads. But the best part about this location is the service! Lona, Pierre, and Derek are some of the regular bar tenders and Bubbles and Brandy are some of the regular servers that always provide over the top service with a friendly personality. This is a good place to bring family during the day and a better place to bring friends or a date in the evening. Parking is available on the street, in the pay lot across the street, or in the public parking across the street. I'll see you there!

    One of my favorite spots on downtown Honolulu for pizzas and a pint. If you wanna impress a foodie friend, this is a great place for lunch or dinner.

  • 4/5 Eldon N. 2 years ago on Google
    Good pizza that I would try again if I didn’t want pizza chains. Not as oily. Thin breading.

  • 4/5 Craig W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty thin crust pizzas. Definitely recommend. Parking nearby is limited and kind of expensive if you have to use the pay lots. Neighborhood is a little on the rough side.

  • 4/5 Marcy 2 years ago on Google
    Security at the door is awesome. Very friendly and efficient at what hes there for. Constantly checked in with us on the time frame of the wait, that made us feel like he was really keeping and eye out as we waited next in line outside. Service was busy, but our server was Great. She continued to check on us during our visit but she manned quite a bit of tables on her own so you just have to be patient. Food here is amazing, that, that you cant beat. Paper plates and ask for extra napkins. A fun atmosphere and just a good experience to have with friends. Table tops couldve been cleaned better and on our way out we saw under our table. The previous party had thrown up on the floor, mutiple shot glasses under the table. Not sure how long it had been under the table as they are so busy. We notified our server on the way out and was thankful we did not step in it. Overall, we will be back!

    We are new to the island and have been looking for new pizza joints that aren’t chains. We had been told about J Dolan’s & are so glad we were! Their pizza is fabulous!! Fresh ingredients, cheesy, thin crispy crust - DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend

  • 4/5 Ivan T. 2 years ago on Google
    J. Dolans lighting is a little dim..but very comfy and the atmosphere very enjoyable not too noisy. The food was very good and tasty..we had Calamari, a salad, and the Spinach/garlic pizza..it was great.

  • 5/5 Hernan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pizza! Family friendly and great service.

  • 5/5 Sophie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place with amazing service! The waitress gave me a small rock, a carnelian. I had one night left on the island before getting back on my ship and the place was amazing!! Go there and hang out :)

  • 5/5 R A. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down best pizza on the island. I'm from the Tri-state area and I will say this is comparable to what you find there. The service is 5 stars too. I've seen the same faces there for a decade or so. I've never had 1 bad experience there. You may have to wait for a table but it is well worth it.

  • 4/5 Derek W. 5 months ago on Google
    The salad was okay. The calamari was good because it was the legs and rings. It was a basic calamari, but with lots of legs. It was a good amount. The pizza was tasty, but the sausages were small. I felt like the room was a little smokey. I would go back there again and try the onion rings and a different pizza.

  • 5/5 Justin S. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious pizza lives up to the hype! Lana is a great bartender and the service was attentive. Some crispy and tasty chicken wings too!

  • 5/5 Jeff B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing pizza and awesome service. Definitely the best pizza we've had on the island. The spinach garlic ricotta pizza was to die for. Our waitress was also very friendly and helpful when ordering. Can't wait to go back and try some other things. A+++
