O'Connell's in Galway

05/04/2024: 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!

04/04/2024: Delicious pizzas with very unique flavor combinations. Hail Caesar and Pep Guadri were both excellent, highly recommend! Only critique is the marinara sauce was a bit lacking. There can be a long queue/line during busy times so expect a wait.
