★★★☆☆ I think this place is over rated.. The food was average and Pizzas were only very thin crust..
And the guys were touching the food without gloves and taking the orders and touching cash interchangably.. Very unhygenic I think.. Posted on March 23, 2014 |
|
|
★★★★★ All ratings are out of 5.
Food: 5
Service: 5

★★★☆☆ Positive: Good quality cheese steaks and fat sandwiches in a great location unbeaten by surrounding “halal” restaurants in downtown New Brunswick and Somerset.
Negative: There is nothing exceptional for which I would drive here over and over again unless if I went to school/work in the area.
Overall: Good quality food that you can’t beat when going to Rutgers University or visiting New Brunswick. Posted on July 28, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★★ Anytime I am visiting from Toronto, this is a top spot for me!! Great burgers and sandwiches! Awesome service and super-friendly staff. This is a must!!! Try a Fat Sandwich if you can't decide what u want from the menu. Posted on April 1, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★★ Super food and we go there again n again. Their cheese steaks in the sub are always delicious, completely stuffed with meat. Super service, we love it. Just writing about it making me hungry. Posted on March 31, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★★ Douglass Pizza is amazing! The service is amiable, and the food is tasty. Prices are reasonable, and the owners are very friendly. Highly recommended! Posted on March 14, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on February 16, 2012 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on November 16, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Great pizza, wings and sandwiches. Service is fast and friendly. This place was extremely busy after Iftar during Ramadan. Good choice for local college students. Posted on August 31, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★★ My favorite place in all the state. Posted on August 29, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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! Posted on July 19, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on May 10, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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! Posted on April 28, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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 Posted on April 25, 2011 |
|
|
★★★★☆ I visited this place about three years ago and loved their pizza and philly steak cheese sandwich....Prices are also fine! Posted on April 23, 2011 |
|
|
NR Great place Posted on April 11, 2011 |
|
|
★★★☆☆ 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. Posted on March 24, 2011 |

★★★★★ 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. Posted on January 6, 2011 |

★★★★★ 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. Posted on December 25, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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! Posted on December 1, 2010 |

|
|
★★★★★ 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. Posted on July 30, 2010 |

|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on May 14, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ I have been their customer since 1993, pizza is delicious. Owners are known Muslims. Posted on February 15, 2010 |
|
|
★★★★★ The best overall halal pizza in the area. Has plenty of seating, friendly employees, and plenty of parking. My favorite is the pepperoni pizza. Posted on November 6, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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. Posted on November 2, 2009 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ 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! Posted on October 17, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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. Posted on February 24, 2009 |
|
|
★★☆☆☆ The quality has definitely declined. Not so good anymore. I used to go there frequently, not anymore!! Posted on February 22, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★★ Amazing food... i LOVE their chicken wings HOT and WELL DONE!!! Posted on February 10, 2009 |
|
|
★☆☆☆☆ the food is ok...There are two Douglas Pizzas one on george st and the other on somerset....I prefer going to the one on somerset because it is better...The one on george st has really gone down in quality and quantity...the food isnt good and the service is bad...they really need to improve their standards! Posted on January 8, 2009 |
|
|
★★★★★ I often visit this place for excellent halal chicken pizza. Posted on December 12, 2008 |
|
|
★★★★☆ A couple of years ago, their food was much better than it is now. Turkey sub & chicken cheesesteak just isn't the same. Nevertheless, a very good place. Posted on October 24, 2008 |
|
|
★★★★★ I love this place. There is no 50/50 thing going on here. Its all halal. The food is really good in quality and quantity. The pizza are good towards the ok side in my opinion. There Chicken deluxe sandwish is very good. I recommended it all. Posted on July 11, 2008 |
|
|
★★★★★ This is one of my favorite places in Jersey. Great service and excellent quality. Posted on March 5, 2008 |
|
|
★★★★☆ great fast food place...its pretty clean although after all the rutgers students sometimes its not perfect...the food is great and the employees are nice. overall great lunch place to go! Posted on February 22, 2008 |

★★★★★ 1 word -- DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!
(mouth watering buffalo wings) Posted on January 29, 2008 |
|
|
★★★★★ Good food and good service Posted on December 19, 2007 |
|
|
★★★★★ American Fast food at its best. Go there and see for yourself. Just don't eat Bengali food or your stomach will get upset. Bengali food taste awful and smells bad. Posted on October 20, 2007 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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 ;) Posted on October 1, 2007 |

★★★★★ 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. Posted on September 18, 2007 |

|
★★★★☆ Very good food. I like their cheese steak sandwich Posted on August 27, 2007 |

|
|
★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ Good, cheap food for those who want some standard american food (i.e. cheesesteaks, burgers, pizza, etc) Posted on May 21, 2007 |

★★★★★ fear not people it's a fact that they'll be coming back soon inshallah in somerset nj off of rt 27. Inshallah. Posted on November 14, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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) Posted on October 30, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on September 27, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★☆ THIS PLACE IS CLOSED. I have tried SUB EXPRESS , they carry all halal steaks and sandwiches at a reasonable price. Give them a try. Posted on September 13, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ So, does anyone know where they moved? Posted on June 25, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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 ;-) Posted on June 17, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ used to be great and around, but evil corporations took over now no DP! :-( Posted on June 15, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★☆ Excellent chicken cheesesteak! Cheap. A wide variety of other sandwiches and pizza. Posted on March 27, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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) Posted on February 23, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ Food is excellent. Good service. Nice people. Posted on January 16, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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 Posted on January 15, 2004 |
 |  | [Account deleted] Somewhere |
|
|
★★★☆☆ 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. Posted on January 7, 2004 |
|
|
★★★★★ I love you Douglass Halal Pizza. I wish i could be with you for the rest of my life. Posted on December 17, 2003 |
|

★★★☆☆ nice food cheese steak and fat cat isthe best but buffalo wings are better at chicken holiday Posted on November 16, 2003 |
|
|
★★★★★ Excellent food, i have been in there couple of times, especially the subs Posted on November 13, 2003 |
|
|
★★★★★ Great Food. A place which everyone loves. Now virtually everything is Halal so there are no problems. Posted on November 6, 2003 |
|
|
★★★★★ 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. Posted on October 7, 2003 |
|
|
★★★★☆ 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. Posted on August 29, 2003 |
|
|
★★☆☆☆ 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?? Posted on August 2, 2003 |
|
|
★★★★★ Excellent Cheesesteak and Buffalo wings Posted on April 15, 2003 |

★★★★☆ Cheessteak (Dunno the right spelling :-) ) and Pizza are great. Bit too much vinegar on chicken wings though. All in all nice people with nice food. Posted on December 30, 2002 |
|

★★★★☆ Pleasing; you won't be disappointed with most things on the menu, especially the chicken steak. Posted on August 6, 2001 |
