A famous Galway partnership, The Dough Bros are artisan pizza makers who insist on nothing but the best.
Having built a cult following from their pizza van at Moycullen market and other locations around Galway city and achieved huge success at the Galway Food Festival, they appeared next in a pop-up in Abbeygate Street, giving that entire area a new lease of life.
The pop-up emerged with youthful exuberance and enthusiasm, which has since stood them in good stead at their permanent premises. But, in their cooking, they have always used the very finest ingredients and the all important dough is made from 00 Caputo flour from Naples to achieve the unmistakable taste of an Italian pizza. There is also a selection of Irish craft beers and cider.
The toppings are a cut above, locally sourced where possible with everything made on the premises. The wood fired oven creates theatre, an inviting glow and the distinctive char on the thin, chewy bases. The staff are personable, with warm welcomes and gracious goodbyes.
The menu is on a chalk board, as is the custom, and the pizzas are well priced for the quality. The 'Hey Pesto', 'Posh Pepperoni' and the 'Hail Caesar' have become firm favourites and creative specials make regular appearances. Hoisin Duck, Prawn Po'boy and a cheesy ricotta calzone have all been featured.
There is a real respect for ingredients and immense pride in their product. The Dough Bros provide elevated street food with no compromise on quality– standards which have earned them a place in the ‘Top 50 Pizzerias in Europe’ listing,
Relaxed, locally inspired dining at its best.
