The LT heard about a pizza place on the radio, and wanted to try it. So we took the ex-neighbor, B, and went to JJ Dolan’s in Chinatown. So we all decided to try and find a pizza better than our go-to, Boston’s. And we are now on a mission, and I will review each place after we eat there!
The website calls it an “Irish pub with New York pizza from two guys in Chinatown”
We go in and it’s seat yourself, which is cool, they weren’t busy, and the server came out to greet us in a timely manner. However, she was short and didn’t offer to tell us what beer they had on tap when B wanted to know, and hence had to go to the bar to read for herself. Then she decided to pull her hair back in a pony tail, at the bar. (the server, not our friend)
The didn’t have Coca-Cola or Pepsi, rather RC Cola…just something I found interesting, I’ve never seen that before…I’d rather have RC Cola over Pepsi (GROSS) They also put a cherry in all their sodas, I love that!
The LT ordered Pepperoni, Mushroom, Onion and Garlic. B & I ordered Pepperoni, Mushroom and black olive.
The ingredients were fresh, and tasted good. The crust was crunchy, the LT liked the crust better than Boston’s (which is the whole purpose of trying new pizza, to find a better one than Boston’s), B & I didn’t like that there wasn’t much crust on the edges, and there was a lot of burnt parts on the edges. B & I prefer Boston’s. The LT liked JJ Dolan’s better.
The one redeeming quality of our server was she pointed us in the direction of this awesome cupcake shop, Let Them Eat Cupcakes.
These are the 3 we decided to share, Maple Bacon(left), Red Velvet(top right), and Dobash(bottom right), they also give free coffee…their dishes were amazing, and cute.
The Maple Bacon was of course the LT’s choice, and favorite – it was pretty good I must admit.
The Red Velvet is a red velvet cake swirled with cream cheese, and topped with butter cream frosting.
The Dobash is a chocolate cake with chocolate pudding frosting, topped with a cherry.
They all were really good, and I even liked the frosting, and that’s saying a lot, because I’m NOT a frosting person.
All in all, today was a good day. I’d give JJ Dolan’s 3 out of 5 slices. And Let Them Eat Cupcakes gets 5 out of 5 cakes.
