The Dough Bros

This pizza was the perfect hearty meal after a long travel day. We ate here on a Thursday night, and the line was down the block. However the staff organized it perfectly, and after a ~30 min wait, our party of 4 was seated as soon as we reached the front. The pizza was delicious, as were the drinks, and the food came out super fast. There’s something for everyone in the topping options. The accolades are well deserved!

Best pizza in whole of Ireland, definitely. Mighty close for top 5 European contender! There's a waiting of 20 min atleast post 7pm, so recommend that you start early. Definitely dine in as cold pizza is just not the same. I tried their signature Bahn-mi pizza and it was amazing. Chugged a pint of cider along with it, so that's good

Delicious. I tried Curry Cheese pizza there and I never knew a potato pizza could be this delicious. I am recommending this place to whoever is travelling to Galway 😍. I was recommended by someone to go to this place. I wanna go there again. Note: whatever time you plan to go, go one hour before as this place is too busy and you have to be in queue for hours.

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. 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!

We couldn't visit Galway without a trip here! We visit on a Saturday evening and while there was a queue as expected, it was short and moved quickly. The pizzas were tasty, enjoyed some drinks with cider and the Dough Bros IPA. Great service with pleasant staff. Enjoyed the decor of the restaurant also, very nostalgic. Well worth a visit

I didn’t know if it would live up to the hype, and the longer line, but me and my party were blown away by the quality of the pizza! The curry pizza was a particular stand out. Would definitely go back!

I was skeptical about the great rating but this pizza was incredible! The base was light and a perfect texture. I had the curry cheese pizza recommended by the friendly staff. It was so good, the combination of flavours and the curry sauce really worked well. For those wondering what Bombay poppers are (like I was), it's sev. The queue moves quickly and the wait is worth it!

Worth waiting 25-30 min for, the queue does move fast. Overall it lives up to the hype. The lamb shawarma pizza was actually my favorite (monthly special). The margherita pizza was excellent and the pepperoni jalapeño was good but could’ve been a bit oilier. I think as excellent as this is, if it stayed crispy a bit longer it would have been really hard to beat. I didn’t order any of the crust dips but I wish I did, they seemed to really add to the experience.

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.

We came here for the rave reviews. The best in Ireland? Let's go! It was a well run machine. That can't be denied. If the line is too long inside, expect to wait outside until they tell you to come in. You are handed menus outside which is genius and helps you order quicker when you get to the register. You order at the counter. They seat you and bring you everything you ordered. We had the Marg, cheesy garlic bread, bolognese and a gluten free pesto. The bolognese wasn't on the printed menu, but was on the menu inside on the board. The garlic bread was tasty, but a bit of a disappointment to pay 6.50€ for such a small serving. The Marg was really good. The bolognese was good, not great. The gluten free (ordered due to dietary restrictions) was decent. I liked how quick and efficient the operation was being run. The service was friendly and thorough. We'd come back to try other flavors.

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.

Food only took 6 minutes to arrive So good nice setting there is music but not to loud. Not the best quality of pepperoni though. Loved the garlic mayo and the rock shandy.

Amazing! One of my friends from Galway recommended this place and so glad we went. One or two roads removed from the touristy street. We ordered 3 pizzas for 4 people and was just about right. The Hail Caesar, Guardiola, and Margharita pizzas all delicious. The Hail Caesar was by far my favorite. Food also came out quickly and the staff super friendly. The pizza crust was thin and slightly charred - just the way I like it! Highly recommend.

We had a lovely pizza here while visiting Galway for the day. The Margherita and we added mushrooms. I had an orange soda my hubs still water, they have cocktails and beer available too, they also offer dipping sauces for your crusts. It's nice brick oven pizza. Great mozzarella. You order up front and then they bring you to a table with your drinks - hot pizza arrives shortly after from the authentic brick oven.

We were exploring Galway and found this truly amazing pizza place. The line went quickly, and even though it was busy, we were seated right after we ordered. The pizzas came out not even 10 minutes later piping hot and full of flavor! Don't sleep on the ranch dip either! Everything was healthy and if we lived closer there I'm positive we would be going to this restaurant every week. It is also nicely decorated with their story and awards all around the wall. 100/10

We found an awesome pizza place!! Dough Bros Pizza already had a line out the door when we got there around 6:30pm and would only be getting longer as the night wore on. They have a super efficient process, so the line went quick and we were able to get a table to enjoy the Pepperoni pizza and cheesey garlic bread. The pizza is wood brick oven style, and a perfect size for 1 person or if you spilt it, then you definitely need a side. I had the chance to also try their McDaid's cola and my husband tried Dough Bros special beer from the White Hag... the whole meal was delicious, and we know good pizza!! August 2023 Overall, we found it very difficult to find a good dessert in Galway (other than ice cream). *Pro tip, most places offering lunch do not open until after 1pm. We're not sure if that was because it was Sunday, but mostly the options are cafes.

I'm honestly shocked by how much I loved Dough Bros. The pizza here is absolutely incredible!! And by far the best pizza I've had in years. We were lucky to get seated without having to wait in line, but I'd totally wait for this pizza (which is saying a lot as a chronic hater of lines). The toppings were fresh, the pizza baked to golden perfection, and the flavors robust.

Cute place! Long wait times though and you cannot order ahead even for takeout, which was a bummer as we ended up waiting around 45 minutes for two pizzas to go. The pizzas were really good and love that they incorporate locally sourced ingredients! Wish they had more non-meat or non-pork options. Would recommend for a quick dinner!

If you are in Galway and want pizza, don't waste your time getting it anywhere else than at Dough Bros! For pizza in Ireland, it is really the best. There always seems to be a line but it moves quickly. When you reach the front, you place your order, they show you to a table, and the food arrives a short time later. It looks like the menu changed a little bit because instead of a pepperoni pie, the pizza my husband got is now called "The Pepp Guardi-Jala" (margherita with pepperoni, candied jalapeños, and parm). He loved it! I had the "Hey Pesto" (pesto, mozzarella, balsamic red onions, goat cheese, and arugula/rocket). Delicious! They have beer but not on tap. My husband had a canned IPA while I had a bottle of delicious MacIvor's Irish cider. We would definitely come back here again!

Located in a stone structure storefront in Galway is The Dough Bros wood-fired pizza. Despite not being in the mood for pizza, a quick search of reviews on both Google and Yelp convinced me to check out why others rave about this place, which I believe has been considered to be the best pizza in Ireland. I understand that lunch is a busy time, especially when all the tour groups visiting western Ireland stop off in Galway, but the line to order food was out the door, and the girl taking orders was very slow and inefficient (sometimes stopping to wander around in the restaurant to chat with others, leaving a line full of people waiting to order). You are only seated after you order, which creates chaos in the waiting area for families, larger groups, and more elderly guests where all you needed is one person on line to give an order. The interiors are tastefully done, but seats at ends of the restaurant in booth format were all like sitting on an uncomfortable wooden bench. We went with an order of garlic bread with cheese and a margherita pizza. The garlic bread was ok in taste and wasn't overly heavy, but the bread it was on (I think Irish soda bread) didn't make for a good base as much as a standard Italian bread. The margherita pizza fell into "just ok" territory as the bread/dough was a weak point in the creation. Cans on tables indicate that they use San Marzano tomato sauce, but the sauce really didn't have the zest a good San Marzano sauce usually has. Similarly, the cheese wasn't anything to write home about. The ingredients were fresh, but just not my thing as it was floppy with some burnt spots on the bottom. I had better pizzas in England and Scotland. There really isn't much wait staff service as nobody is around to wait on you, and we had to flag somebody to get some water, after the initial lady that took us to the table forgot about it. Overall, I'd rate it a 3.5/5 having gone in with low expectations of pizza in Ireland, but happy to round up.

Well organized for the amount of customers they push through that come to enjoy their fantastic pizza

This is clearly the place to be in Galway!! The line was out there door and down the street, but totally worth the wait!! We thoroughly enjoyed our pizza. They also have beer and cocktails. Highly recommend!!

Catching up on Yelp reviews as I visited The Dough Bros back in October. Rated as the best pizza in Ireland, it was extremely good and lived up to the hype! We arrived around 18:00 on a Thursday night. There was a long queue, but it moved so we waited about 15 minutes to order and get seated. You end up waiting in the queue, order at the register, and they give you a table/number. A little bit different, but it was pretty efficient. Ambiance was modern, well lit, and contemporary. We ordered the Bro's Margherita and the Pepperoni Pie. The pizza is Neapolitan style and it had a super soft crust. It was almost perfection and probably would have been if I liked Neapolitan style so it's a 9 instead of a 10. Cheese was good, but it needed some more on the pie. Sauce was also very good too. The pie were loaded with pepperoni and the candied jalapeños were excellent as they had some sugar or honey on them to make it super sweet. Both pies were very good overall! Crust: 9 Cheese: 7 Sauce: 8 Toppings: 9 Overall: 8.25 Overall, I see what the Dough Bros is rated as the best pizza in Ireland. It's not the best pizza that I had, but it was extremely good and definitely worth a stop while in Galway!

The pizza 100% lives up to the hype and reputation and as good as any I've had anywhere else in the world outside of Italy. Caesar salad on a pizza? Yes perfectly executed love child of a salad and a pizza. It packs all the flavor of a Caesar onto a pizza with the soft pillowy and slightly burned crust of a wood oven pizza. The Margherita was great as well but live a little and go for one of the fun flavors instead. We got a side of the hot honey as well but it was mostly honey and no heat. Loved the mcdaid football special soda as well. Think less sweet Coca Cola with lorange notes There will be a wait. Takes awhile to get through the queue and 15 min to get your pizza. Worth the wait though!

SO DELICIOUS!!! Dough Bros lives up to the hype and great reviews. We got the pesto pizza and wished that we could have tried more. They're a perfect size to share or to have your own with some leftovers. The bruschetta is also highly recommended, it tasted so fresh! The aperol spritz was great and they have some nice beer options!

Ok ok their reviews and raves are prompted! Best pizza in Ireland 100%!!! Fast, friendly, and easy service and the wood fire pizza was phenomenal. Must go if you're in the area

The pizza here is absolutely incredible. We first went to Dough Bros shortly after they opened, and returning 8 years later they are just as good. The service was wonderful and accommodating to our large party, and the restaurant was nice and cozy. The location we went to was a little cramped, but no pizza place in Ireland does it better. Highly recommend!

This place ROCKS! If a business has a line out the door on a quiet street, you know it's either a gem or tourist trap. And this place is a local gem!! The staff was kind and the story of the family ownership is on the walls as you wait in line. The menu is large and diverse and everything is made fresh to order. The wait wasn't even that long for us to order or receive our pizzas! My friend tried the cheesy garlic pizza and I went for the carmelized onion, roasted red tomato, feta, pesto pizza. WE ATE EVERY BITE OF BOTH OF OUR PIZZAS!!! So good!! It was less than 20€ for each and if we were able to take leftovers and not just starving tourists visiting for the day, we would have definitely taken some home or come back a second time. Dough Bros knows what's up & they're doing it right!!

Amazing pizza! Don't let the wait outside the door on to the street intimidate you. Worth the wait! We had the Curry Cheese, Legalize Marinara and the Hey Pesto. All three had amazing flavor on top of a crust that melted in your mouth. We expected the cute names to be gimmicky but they lived up to the name!

HOW DID MY PIZZA COME OUT IN 5 MINUTES?! YA'LL CRAZY. And the service was really nice. I don't remember the price, but I don't think it was crazy. -1 star because my table was not wiped when I was seated & there's only two bathrooms that were single use. Would go back!!

As an American traveling through Ireland I didn't expect to find amazing wood fired pizza, but the Dough Bros killed it. Staff is really fast and friendly. Very casual atmosphere. The food came out very quick and as mentioned, tasted excellent. After a day of hiking, this was a great spot to end a cold rainy day in Galway.

It was pretty good. My expectations were too high going in. They were out of everything we ordered and then tried to order so we ended up with not our top 3 choices, but weren't told until 20 minutes after we ordered. Then, We didn't get our garlic bread with cheese until after we ate. That was the highlight of the meal. The garlic bread with cheese and the garlic dip were amazing.

Okay okay okay okay okay. I see you Dough Bros. So I am from New York, my fiancé is from Chicago and we currently live in New Jersey.... Needless to say, we have eaten A LOT of pizza in our time. Dough Bros pies are very competitive.

This is the first pizza place I tried in Ireland, and it did not disappoint!! The pizza topping combos are so creative and it was so hard to choose which pizza to try. I definitely recommend the Banh Mi pizza, which has pork belly, caramelized jalapeños, pickled carrots/radish, and flavorful sauces on top. I've never tried a pizza so tasty and unique! The Bees Knees was also good if you're a fan of hot honey on your pizza. You really can't go wrong with any pizza choice!

Great pizza and cute place to eat. Super easy to order and sit to relax for a bit before exploring the city.

Ok the pizza is amazing !! Staff incredible and you won't regret this decision in any way .

Good quick food, good prices, nice people, plenty of seating. I got the pesto which was delicious. The sizes are enough for two people to share if you're just looking for a snack. I ate about 4/6 pieces since I was really hungry.

Excellent pizza and excellent staff! Nice place to get a quick lunch and break with our kids during the bustle of shopping all day!

Great pizza with interesting flavor profiles that I'm still thinking about a week after!

I was really excited to try this restaurant when I saw the line outside the entrance. The staff were excellent, I wish I could say the same about the pizza. The pizza was burnt and undercooked at the same time. The toppings were falling off while picking up the pizza slice. My advice to the owner is to find a better way to cook the pizza. Being from Boston, I think this place is very overrated and a little pricey for what it is.

Yummy! If you are craving a pizza this is the place. Washed down with a nice cold beer.

Get the Cesar salad pizza and then Pornstar martinis. This place rivals some American pizza places.

I didn't know pizza in Ireland would be so good!! I only went here once but it was a cool atmosphere and delicious pizza! If I ever come back to Galway I'll come here !! The staff was very kind as well :)

Loved the pizza here, it was delicious! Great vibes, friendly staff. Had a long line outside but it's moves fairly quickly and they give you drinks while you wait.

FOOD IS AMAZING The people are hot, like stunning, my sister, cousin and I were star struck. Also the vibe is amazing, we felt comfortable. Thank you so so much!

Pizza and drinks were absolutely; we went twice in two days because it was that good. Highly recommend going when they open to make you get in

Delicious pizza and fast, excellent service. The pizza is a wood fired oven pizza. Absolutely recommend this place. I would return.

Great pizza in the Dublin area!!! My family went here on a Wednesday night and the line was out the door. We decided to wait and the line moved rather quickly. You order at the register and then are seated, so the process of ordering is a bit different. The Ingredients were fresh and the servers were very friendly. The Irish sodas were also delicious. Pizzas are about personal sizes. Would definitely return again.

The Caesar pizza is so good. The crust is dreamy and I would move to Galway just for Dough Bros. Additionally all of the staff is kind and welcoming. The inside is clean and there is plenty of tables so you can sit and enjoy your pizza.

Extremely knowledgable staff was able to swap out items so that my pizza could be completely gluten-free was so lovely had to go twice

10/10!!! Amazing. Pizza was phenomenal and the garlic bread add cheese was to dieeee for. Service was great and they were so friendly!! It's got a cool vibe to it. Definitely check it out if you're in Galway!

The pizza is not cooked enough dough was so undercooked that it was watery. Rolled up the slice like a burrito. Also they do not serve salads which I was surprised and annoyed

Awesome pizza in Galway! We took the train from Dublin for the day and had Dough Bros in mind. Located in the middle of the downtown area, easy walk from the train. Friendly staff and excellent food!

This place was recommended to me by my AirBnB host, and it did not disappoint. the wait was typical for an evening and the service was good. My first credit card didn't want to run but they were kind and patient with me while we worked it out. I never order wine with dinner but it seemed very fitting for the meal, and for such a big glass of Cab, 6 euro was worth it. The atmosphere was busy and it was pretty loud but over-all, this was expected. My pizza arrived hot and it was amazing. I'm not someone that likes fire cooked pizza, I like the thicker and more traditional (American) crust pizza, but this... This was a whole other level. Maybe that was the half a glass of wine talking, but I could not stop eating this pizza. But, by the time I had finished I was definitely full. I would recommend 1 pizza per person, but if you're stopping by for a quick lunch, splitting one might be okay. But one was definitely right for me. If I'm ever in Galway again, I would definitely go back.

Saw all the awards and at first thought, perhaps a little remote Ireland overhype? Nope. This place rocks Napolitano-style pizza with amazing fresh ingredients. The only bad review is clearly from someone who doesn't know this style of pizza. The place is busy. We went on a Tuesday night and the line was out the door...BUT...the line moves quickly and don't worry about finding a table, they handle that after you place your order.

Pizza was great and the service was friendly! Do not be afraid of the long line, it goes very quickly and is worth the wait!

This place was amazing! We went early enough that there wasn't a long line. They were super helpful and willing to wait while we chose our pizza. We wished we had come back here when instead of a different restaurant for our last dinner in town. This might sound dumb or silly to some people but I am super appreciative they have ranch.
