★★★★  I've been going to Douglass Pizza for 2 1/2 years. Very good food. The service is pleasant. Only once I felt the pizza was not up to standard but when you consider that my husband and I have been there probably over 50 times and gotten consistently good food - I can let that one slide.
Definitely a place to try.

★★★★  Food it tasty, good variety, good price and quick service. I usually call in my order before arriving and the food is ready. Decor is average and what to expect to a fast food place.

Aberdeen Twp, NJ
★★★★★  The perfect place for when I was a starving, broke college student! I have many fond memories of their halal fat sandwiches...halal buffalo wings...halal fast food! For a fast food place, this restaurant was sparsely decorated but still very clean, which is more important. Everything was delicious and if you're craving fast food and want halal, definitely go there! Also, they do takeout and the food is just as good!

★★★★  reliable place for decent food. Every person in my family has a different choice that they love, so to each their own. But we love their food anyway and will always stop by.

★★★★  this place is a lifesaver for the average rutgers student! When everyone else goes to the grease trucks, I come here for hala fat sandwiches! not to mention the place is much cleaner than the trucks lol. awesome greasy oh so delicious fast food!

Linden, NJ
★★★★  above average for fast food. I'm just happy that there is an actual halal fast food place that serves fat sandwiches...buffalo wings..etc, because they're usually hard to find when the craving hits!
Clean place, large menu, good prices and parking in the garage right behind it is for free. great place to visit for a quick fast food with friends

Jersey City, NJ
★★★  This place is as good as a CFC when it comes to burgers(as they are like Al-safa frozen burgers). After all this hype and no result, I didnt even try any other item on their menu.
They need to improve a lot. Not sure which era DP you all are talking about.

★★★★★  Douglass Pizza on Route 27 in Somerset consistently makes the best halal "American" food. The cheese steaks are always delicious-- completely stuffed with meat, cheese and whatever other toppings you ask for. If you want to go a little lighter, the chicken cheesesteak or the chicken gyros are great as well. On my "healthier" days I've ordered the grilled chicken salad and the grilled chicken wraps and they were both ridiculously good. The DP cold cut sandwich platters are awesome and I've had them delivered lots of times for lunches and brunches that I've held at home and at work. I know most people like to go for the halal meat/chicken sandwiches, but their veggie stromboli is probably the best I've ever had anywhere. The owners go out of their way to get to know the customers, the people cooking the food are friendly and really try to make things the way you want them. And even though I don't usually leave reviews for anything, I really wanted to comment on DP because I recently ordered their catered lamb platter for a large dinner gathering and all I heard from the guests were compliments-- and the whole dinner probably cost me less in money and time than if I'd tried to do it all myself. If you haven't tried this Douglass location yet, than definitely run-- don't walk here and check them out for yourself.

  Douglas Pizza is not what is used to be. Years ago they were good but now the quality has dropped dramatically. They have messed up my order on 2 separate occasion. The problem is that everyone is using immigrants to prepare the food to save the money. These poor guys don't get properly trained and Douglas Pizza is looking at their bottom line which is profit. Today after waiting 25 minutes, I learnt that my order was never place. Because I was starving I decided to wait a bit longer but what I got was not a burger but bricks. I used to be a huge Douglas Pizza fan but the quality is now worse than HFC (halal fried Chicken) in Woodbridge. It's not like their burgers cost $5. You end up paying $9 with drink and fries but still don't get to enjoy the meal like you used to. I hope the owner is reading this and try to fix it. I will give it a try maybe after 6 months and will report back.
Douglass Pizza responds: AA, Dear 'HalalFoodOnly' - I am not sure if you are referring to this DP located on R27 in Somerset since our burger with drink and fries are less than $6 (not the $9 you mention). If you still believe that this is the location, please contact me directly at the store, just ask for the manager and mention zabihah.com, and we will ISA address your concern.

★★★★★  THE BEST AMERICAN FOOD IN NEW JERSEY!!!! Wings, Pizza, Fat Sandwiches, and Cheese steaks are the BEST!!! The brothers treat you like family and you can park in the deck right behind the restaurant. It is safe and close. We have been customers for over 10 years and plan to be for as long as they are open, InshAllah.

★★★★  oh my gosh...the fat sandwiches here are AWESOME! the pizza is decent, and the place is clean. A good place for college students and teens! Fast food halal at its best!

Hamilton, NJ
★★★★★  We've been going here for over 3 years, and we have no complaints. The brother that's always there is soo nice, mashaAllah. Even though we don't go here ALL the time, like maybe once every 2 months, the owner knows us. Not just us, but we see that with almost everyone that goes there, it’s almost like he treats you like family. idk why some people think it's not in a good area, yeah, its not the most AMAZING neighborhood, but we go here all the time with our 2 kids and have never felt afraid or threatened, and I was born and raised in the suburbs. The burgers are amazing; the crispy chicken sandwich will make your taste buds do a little dance in your mouth! The pizzas are okay, my 2 yr old loves them, but I’m not a HUGE fan, but they’re not bad. I like the halal pepperoni the best. The brother even cuts it into small pieces for my son. They have the jersey boardwalk fries, best fries EVER! My husband loves the grilled chicken sandwich too. we love this place and wish the people that own it much success.

★★★★  Food selection is great, food is always prepared well, service is good, place could not be cleaner but it doesn't taste amazing. It is always consistently normal, i'd say the selection takes it to above average.

★★★★★  I have been their customer since 1993, pizza is delicious. Owners are known Muslims.

★★★★★  The best overall halal pizza in the area. Has plenty of seating, friendly employees, and plenty of parking. My favorite is the pepperoni pizza.

Holmdel, NJ
★★★★★  This is the best pizza and grill in the area. As a Rutgers student i do not think you should waste your money on food, but this is so worth it. The cheese steaks are amazing and they make them really spicy for those who request, which you don't find a lot. Everything tastes great and the prices are amazing as well. For anyone who has heard otherwise, you've been lied to. Go try it out yourself. The new management is great, and they go out of their way to make your meal better.

  The seasoning they put in the philly subs is disgusting! I Just moved to the area, I would not go here again, I have been to way better pizza/sub halal places than this place! I was warned that this place is not all that, I shud have listened to them!

★★★★★  Just wanted to infom those looking for good halal food that there is two Douglass Pizza Stores. One in Somerset, and the other is in New Brunswick. I have tried both any I highly recommend the one in Somerset. They have friendly service, good food, and its ALL halal and best of all it they have parking.

Voorhees, NJ
★★★★★  We've gone there numerous time, and everytime we get awesome service and food. I personally didn't like their philly cheesesteaks, but other ppl in my family did like them. Their pizza is really good, along with their steak stroumboulli, which is good beyond what words can describe, and its pretty big. Their cheeseburger (fat adel) are very good, I think its the best cheeseburger i've ever eaten. Very clean place and nice family atmosphere. The ppl at the counter speak english and are very friendly and always get ur order rite. We're defi going here many more time ;)

★★★★★  I recently ate at this location and loved the food. There were lots of great choices for even the pickiest eaters in our group. The pepperoni pizza and the buffalo chicken pizza were both amazing along with the usual really good cheesesteaks, gyros, and wings. A friend of mine also tried the rotisserie chicken which was pretty good. We asked the owners about the ham and salami listed on the menu and we found out that ALL the meats are halal since they use only halal turkey ham and halal turkey bacon as well as halal beef salami, pepperoni, and sausage. I'd highly recommend this place for families, big groups, or just grabbing a quick bite to eat. I haven't tried them out for delivery yet, but I definitely plan on it, insha'Allah.

★★★★  We went to this place last night. The staff is good, courteous, don't speak much english but are polite and helpful. I think they are Arabs mostly. The place is well-lighted, clean, spacious. The food is delicious and fresh (or as fresh as restuarant food can get), and quickly served. It is also extremely reasonable price-wise. HOWEVER just one glaring negative - the area in which this clean and well-lighted establishment is based is utterly horrible. I would not take my kids there again, in fact it was a mistake to go the first time. We had driven a long way and saw other families sitting inside so we thought to risk it this once. Though the food is very good, the area seems very dangerous and not for the regular suburban-types. We do not plan to go there again. Be warned! Also, for people uncomfortable eating in places where there is muslim literature, though pleasantly decorated, this would not be a suitable eatery. While we are muslims, and do eat halal meat exclusively, we do not see the need to advertise religion in one's day-to-day business. The working environment should be a non-religious affair, though each person is free to carry on their personal religious beliefs while working, such as eating halal or non-halal food.

★★★★★  BEST FOOD ON EARTH, PLEASE COME BACK DP!!!!!! ANYONE KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING BACK? I NEED THIS FOOD OR ELSE I WILL DIE!!! DAMN YOU DEVCO. "DEVCO PLEASE PLAY FAIR"...FOR GOD SAKES! (Chucky Chicken is Ok for a little while)

United States
★★★★  Fairly good prices. And food was good quality. Personally, I liked the chicken cheesesteak. However, delivery service is substandard (often taking 40 minutes, or not showing up at all). Service in the restaurant was also without a smile. Good food, good prices, fair service, poor delivery. Unfortunately, they're closed now, and no one knows where/if they reopened.

★★★★★  Does anyone know where they moved to? I haven't had a cold roast beef sub with the works and extra hot peppers since they closed. Mmmmmm, ok now I'm hungy ;-)

United States
★★★★★  used to be great and around, but evil corporations took over now no DP! :-(

Charlotte, NC
★★★★  Excellent chicken cheesesteak! Cheap. A wide variety of other sandwiches and pizza.

United States
★★★★  Great food and the owners are cool 2. The only problem is that it gets way overcrowded after lectures / jummah so you have to plan accordingly or be prepared to wait a while (since it seems to be the default food destination for the Rutgers Muslim student body in New Brunswick)

United States
★★★★★  Food is excellent. Good service. Nice people.

Monmouth Junction, NJ
★★★★★  The Place is 100% Halal. "What does Pork related mean ? All the dishes are Halal and by far the best place to have a Italian Cheese Burger . Owners and cooks are known muslims I see them at ISCJ all the time

United States
★★★  Food was good however, when I see pork-related items on the menu, I get a little discouraged.

I honestly question if non-halaal food is cooked separately from halaal food.

United States
★★★★★  I love you Douglass Halal Pizza. I wish i could be with you for the rest of my life.

Kendall Park, NJ
★★★★  good food, good service...near Rutgers so good for students

United States
★★★  nice food cheese steak and fat cat isthe best but buffalo wings are better at chicken holiday

United States
★★★★★  Excellent food, i have been in there couple of times, especially the subs

United States
★★★★★  Great Food. A place which everyone loves. Now virtually everything is Halal so there are no problems.

United States
★★★★★  I wasn't sure at first if it was all halal but it is. We asked the resteraunt owners. The gyros are great, the pizza was awesome, and the cheesesteak was filling.

United States
★★★★  Although a nice little place meant to obviosuly cater to the local Muslim clientele of Rutgers University, it is great to see that many of the customers are non-Muslim and are from the surrounding neighborhoods. And since good news travels fast, many people visiting the area along with locals find this a great place to stop by and enjoy halaal burgers, gyros, pizzas, and so on.

16
United States
★★  Heard from a reliable supplier for Restaurants that halal is served only to muslims that ask for it i.e. both halal and non-halal is available for all dishes, but serves halal for muslims. Alhumdhulillah it is good that there is concious effort to serve halal, I was ask the question WHY DO MUSLIMS ever serve NON-HALAL / NON-ZABIHA FOOD??
