J. Dolan’s Ku'ono Marketplace

Home To Genuinely Handcrafted Pizza And Authentic Hand-Poured Beverages OK, to be perfectly honest, the snappily attired gentlemen above is not, in fact, J. Dolan. There is no J. Dolan. There is a J. and there is a Dolan. But are you really here for a story or amazing pie and drinks? ....That's what we thought. The same legendary pizza and pub spirit, now by the beach. Swing by for a pint, people-watch along Kūhiō, and enjoy that familiar J. Dolan’s warmth with a touch of island sun.
