It has been years since I was here last- March 2018. Yet, I keep speaking on how great this pizza is! The Dough Bros will forever be a part of my tales abroad. As an American, one of the quintessential foods to me is pizza. It is one of my favorite, and I enjoy trying all sorts of different kinds. Often when traveling abroad though, I find “American” pizza is hard to find. Granted, pizza is not American (lol), but I want more than Margherita pizza when I leave the country. I came here with the Purdue All American Marching Band for St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin for 2018, and so we were searching for good pizza to try in Galway, one of our stops on our tour through Ireland. My group of friends and I were pleasantly surprised with The Dough Bros- the atmosphere is lovely, clean, and interesting with decor. Further, I was 20, and underage in America to drink. But in Ireland, I was of age! The Dough Bros was the place I had my first ever legal drink, a cider, and I had cheese sticks and a pizza after. I included a picture of the sticks and drink I got. The cider was delightful, and the food delicious! I ordered a Margherita (lol), and another kind of pizza just to compare. It was very fresh, with the dough reminiscent of similar pizzas I had from other high-powered pizzerias before in the states. It was exactly what I was seeking abroad when looking for a great pizza, paired also with the delectable drinks and excellent service. The folks behind the counter were so nice to us as well! They had post cards at the time, so I took one with me that I have to this day. When I move it comes with me to be added to my pizza wall. I included a picture of the wall as well, with the Dough Bros postcard in the middle. I intend to return when I come back to Ireland, and try more of their food and what looks to be an updated menu!

The dough bros serves the best pizzas in Europe. We ordered 3 pizzas and garlic breads and they were so scrumptious!!!! One of the pizzas we had was the hail Caesar. If you closely look at the pictures - you will see that one of the pizzas has rocket leaves and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I have forgotten the name but that is the best pizza I have ever had. Just show the picture to one of the crew members at the dough bros and they will help you order the same. All good things take time. Make sure you are patient enough to be queued until you place your order. It is worth every penny and the wait. You will not be disappointed. I wish I could add more stars to this rating - so yummmmmmmmm! Once you're at the counter to order your meal - you'll be directed to your table with the table number. All you do after that is wait for 5-7 mins to enjoy your pizzas. We had also ordered Connemara lagers in a can. Thank you team for serving us the best pizzas 🍕 ever!

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!! 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.

Recommended by a fellow Galway colleague, I went with a friend here for some lovely Pizza. A simple enough procedure, you decide what you want to have, you place your order from a line, pay, and if you want to take it away, you wait or if you want to have it there, they find you a place and get you seated. Coming to pizza now: We had two and the first one was amazing and as my friend suggested- best pizza he ever had- Hail Caesar. It had a very different taste and was just perfect. Highly recommended. - 5/5 ⭐ The second pizza was American Pie. Now it was creamy and had curry-like taste(they do have a curry based pizza too) but it wasn't as good as the first one. I'd give it 3.5/5⭐. That's all I've to say. The place was lovely and nice and cosy, full of people on a busy day and hope you guys like it.

I'm not sure where to start! The Dough Bros was recommended to us and as pizza lovers we were so excited to try this place out. We arrived mid afternoon and therefore it wasn't too busy. We ordered our food at the till and were shown to our table. Staff were all really friendly. The place is really well decorated and gives an industrial feel. Our food came quite quickly... I got the American Pie and my partner got the Hey Pesto. We also got a bruschetta and a garlic bread to try too. The food all tasted so fresh and it was obvious that they use high quality and fresh ingredients. We have been to Italy a number of times and we both agreed the pizza was better than what you get in Italy! Honestly, if you're in Galway this is genuinely a place that you have to visit... you won't regret it!

This place lives up to every bit of the hype!!!!! Absolutely delicious pizza! And I’m American. Half my blood is made up of pizza! The Bahn Mi was definitely tasty but the Stinger absolutely stole the show! Softer Neopolitan style, think fork and knife, with an acute eye for quality ingredients. Also there counter service/traditional server hybrid service model was extremely unique and very efficient. The whole team scurried around and got you in, fed fast, and out in a timely, hospitable, and extremely friendly manner. Place is super cleaned too with a refined retro themed decor of old school Nintendo’s and fun stuff in the walls. Didn’t know if find one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in Ireland!
