One Star is way too much praise for these Bigots! I'm definitely not one to play the race card but my experiences at this poor excuse for Italian cuisine need to be documented. I'm an upstanding citizen and hold my self to a certain standard with respect to my principles of conduct. So I was blown away by the treatment that I received from an establishment that relies on it's patrons to stay open.. especially on the tail end of a global pandemic. I patronized "Dusal's" 3 separate times since I moved back to the South Brunswick Area and I have to say, each experience was worse than the previous one. Ending with a Coup de Gras that definitely assured I'd never return to this poorly ran establishment. Each of the 3 times that I ordered from Dusal's, I received dirty and uninviting looks upon picking up my order. The fact that I even returned after the first experience is a testament to my self evaluation and wanting to be sure that I wasn't making something out of nothing. But behold.. the last and final time that I ordered, I stopped at Stop and Shop prior to picking up my order and received cash back from there. I then took the same bill that I was given from Stop and Shop to Dusal's to pay for my order. After handing the bill to who I perceive to be the owner or manager, he looks at me condescendingly and then begins to scrutinize the bill. He then throws the bill back at me and says it's fake. I tried to explain to him that I got the bill from Stop and Shop but he dismissed me and said "Take it Back!!" One of his employees took another look at the bill and ran it through a device before informing him that it's real but it's just an old bill. Had he been impartial and taken the time to examine the bill, he would have realized it was a good bill. And he wouldn't have lost a customer. This situation could have easily lead to a bigger situation and It all stemmed from what I am absolutely sure was deep routed hate. I don't even like driving past this place anymore. Plus the pizza is sub-par. If you're black or any other race and you're fed up with bigotry, pre-judgement, or even if you're just in the mood for good Italian food. Dusal's is not for you. read more

I know everyone was affected by COVID but I think adding a4 % surcharge to your bill when paying with a credit card is a disgrace. Why shy I give extra to recuperate what was lost. Are restaurants and stores helping us to recuperate losses. They should be happy people are choosing to frequent their establishment. Too bad they have good food but I don't think I'll be choosing a business with this unfair practice. Greed is never a good color. read more

Very good crust and very friendly service, but the sauce tastes a little funny to me. Really this is the second best pizza place in the area. Good delivery times for the Franklin or Kendall Park area and they are listed with the online food delivery service Grub Hub. For your money the best pizza in the town. read more

Dusal's - a half eaten pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Kendall Park, New Jersey

Great food. Good portions. We ordered the Rigatoni vodka, it was amazing. Pizza is always good, lots of options.

We got delivery and overall the food was not good. The Brooklyn Pizza was gross. The crust and the cheese were rubbery. There was too much olive oil drizzled on top. The Buffalo Wings were dry. Mozzarella Caprese had only 5 small pieces of mozzarella and was drowning in too much sauce. read more

Came for lunch on Sunday afternoon Only one other table had customers but took way too long for waiter to come take our order The food was barely average although the roll was perfect Chicken was very thin and very over cooked There were empty tables from previous customers with dirty dishes We watched and it was over 25 minutes before anyone cleared those tables Not sure what the four staff we saw were suppose to be doing Would not come back read more

Really quite bad, unfortunately. I ordered the cavatelli and broccoli, but it wasn't cavatelli, and there was no sauce on the pasta at all other than broccoli, which has to have been frozen and reheated. I really wanted to like this - it looked delicious. Sadly, it was not. read more

Ordered 4 pies and chicken wings. Got home found a bandaid in my pizza pie! Called to get reimbursed or a new pie delivered all they said was whenever you come back we'll give you a free pie. What kind of customer service is that!?Never again! read more

Pizza was decent - really nothing special. And their sub was tasteless and extremely dry. It was a one time try because it's in the area and family owned, but I wouldn't go back. read more

Service was excellent. Menu is very extensive. The food was pretty good but the portions were not huge but definitely a good size. We would definitely go back again. read more

Dusal's has been a staple for me since I can remember. I grew up around the corner and over the years Dusal's has been in and out of my regular pizza rotation, whether for Friday night take out or for football Sunday wings and pizza. When I had to go gluten free I stopped for a while but when they added gf crust as an option I came back with open arms. Ordering is always a pleasant experience and the people that work there are always thankful for your business. I rarely order delivery, and prefer to pick up myself so I cannot speak to their delivery service. My go to is a plain cheese pizza or a white pizza with spinach and garlic. My bf likes their meatball parm sub and my sister is a fan of their burgers. My friend is a huge fan of their fries (whenever I visit him I make sure I pick up an order for him). Their menu has something for everyone, so if you have a diverse group of people with different cravings, check out Dusal's! read more

The food is decent and the folks who work there are decent, but delivery is usually late and the last time (tonight) after calling 2xs to get a status after an hour and fifty plus, the woman who answered the phone was laughing and amused. Oh, and as I type this we are on 2 hours and still no good! read more

The food is definitely good. Tho I recommend the pizza. The pizza is the best and I've only once tasted better in the aria. recommend. Also the prices are 100% understandable, inexpensive for a grate portion! read more

Just an update to concur/re-emphasize with Apple F. - Friday nights are brutal : ) order EARLY and ask to pick-up if you can. They are simply very popular and get swamped with orders. Pizza is the same - New Jersey style crust (thick enough to have a chew to it, thin enough to not taste like bread), sauce is good, cheese is heavily applied. Their mozzarella caprese is very good and different from most other places - sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella. read more

I used to go here a few years ago and it was really good clean and had nice people. Food was delicious but now I've came again and when I entered the lady was really rude at the front, and not welcoming at all. And then when I sat down the waitress was very unprofessional. I'd say there is better pizzerias elsewhere! read more

Got takeout during COVID. Non-pizza review. Good Italian food comes in big portions, so we ordered one pasta dish to share between two people! We were looking for something simple but hearty. So we got the fettuccine alfredo, which came with a small loaf of Italian sandwich type bread and a simple salad. Fettuccine alfredo was buttery and cheesy and was enough for us two. We will probably order again if we're in the mood for simple pasta (we usually make tomato based ones at home) or for pizza (which they seem more known for) read more

We have been coming to Dusals for 30 years. Yes today is Valentines Day - yes busy - yes sorry we ordered food for delivery especially with 4 children. We called placed order they said 45 min for Delivery. One hour and 35 min later and 3 phone calls food arrived ice cold. Not the norm For Dusals read more

Not one but TWO hairs in my pesto penne pasta. I mean, come on. Hair nets must be ancient now.

Bad experience all around. No greeting, no sign whatsoever we were welcome. Had a family dinner here and found the service very slow, waitress rude and inattentive, food delivery slow and some dishes good, others so-so. I planned to call the next day to complain about the rude and slow service but after seeing several reviews where manager not interested in hearing from customers, I saved myself the aggravation. A 20% gratuity was added - as we were a group i understand this but in this case, no wonder the waitress was rude, her 20% was guaranteed. I respect and appreciate wait staff and always tip above the 20% knowing what a difficult (and sometimes demanding) job it is. Obviously this wasn't done at Dusals. Anxious to leave, I signed for the tab noting the gratuity was addressed. To add insult to injury, i realized later, a 4% "service charge" was added to the total (tab plus tax plus gratuity PLUS 4%). I did not see any explanation of this anywhere and again, to save further aggravation, I am just assuming this is a credit card bank charge "grab-back". As such, Dusals should should make this well known or not accept credit cards. Aggravation all around. Very disappointing for a local business. read more

Great food great service great atmosphere , all food is homemade with just a touch of love

Walking in I wasn't sure what to expect. This place is really a glorified, overpriced pizzeria. However, as we pass it everyday Hubby and I felt we should at least give it a shot. We both grew up in Brooklyn and are familiar with what a neighborhood "Red Sauce" Italian restaurant should be able to handle. I ordered linguine with White Clam Sauce and he ordered the Carbonara with penne (Hubby prefers penne to every other pasta shape) simple? No? When the wilted, obviously prepared from the previous day, salads arrived with a packet of Ken's Salad Dressing perched delicately on top, I knew we were doomed. Actually, Ken's isn't that bad..... The main dishes arrived after an exceptionally long interval and the Carbonara looked like pasta mixed with scrambled eggs. I really cannot ever remember having been served a more horrible version of this simple dish. We exchanged glances, you know, that awkward "Should we send it back or just cut our losses" look. Was it worth risking the derision of the server? Possibly incurring the wrath of the person you fear most....THE CHEF! He, who had the ability to destroy your meal in retribution. C'mon we have all seen " Waiting"... if you haven't, definitely watch it. Funny AF! Anyway, the dish was inedible do we did have to send it back. The snarky Waitress asked if we would like the "Chef" to prepare another and my husband stated as nicely as possible "Do you think it will be made the same way". (I'm posting the pic for clarification). When she returned from the kitchen she said the chef felt that the dish would come out the same way again. We went with the Shrimp Parmigiana instead. I don't want to go on about how mediocre my dish was or how watery and bland the marinara served with the Shrimp was. Occasionally, one can be surprised by a sterling, wonderful local joint that you don't even want to post about because you want to savor that restaurant as your own private little jewel. This is so not one of those places. Try it at your own peril. Sorry, this DuSal's sucks and is over priced. Try another pizzeria/Italian restaurant. read more

Dusal's - The offending Carbonara. - Pizza Near Me - Kendall Park, New Jersey

Hosted a luncheon for ten people on Friday. Every dish was cooked to perfection. Table was set beautifully and our waitress was organized competent and gracious. We come here for pizza all the time, but never expected the luncheon to be so lovely or delicious. We will certainly keep coming back. read more

Such a change and a disappointment for dining in. Won't return. I am sure takeout for pizza or wings is fine. Met friends anticipating the old Dusals but first impression was the server, unfriendly but maybe a bad day, it's ok. Then salads with packets of dressing thrown within the lettuce vs on the side, not the most sanitary. Bread was stale and when we asked for the olive oil herb to accompany, we were told it clogs the dishwasher. Ok The entrees were not as well prepared as in the past. The chicken francais was oily , the lasagna sauce was extremely salty and watery and the ziti pasta was cooked hard on the chicken parm. Mostly picking through what was edible and packed the leftovers for a friends dog. Quite disappointing. In the end because we paid via credit card they added a 4% surcharge for not paying cash. If that was posted anywhere, we didn't see it nor were we informed.. overall with the higher prices (as expected) it's the way things are now, but $30 entrees with this sub par service , stale food , and to be surcharged. I'll pass and go elsewhere. There are many options in the area but just to say. Disappointing to all in our party. read more

Nice pizza place! Food comes in large portions and tastes pretty good. However, some dishes, like the Fettuccini Alfredo, can be rather bland. Overall, not a bad place if you're looking for some comfort food! read more

Terrible Pizza, Rude Manager I am local to this place and sometimes I order pizza from here. Had worst experience with the order I did last Friday. Order large cheese pizza with onion topping. Onion were too THICK and had a weird smell on it. It was too late in the night to call and drop the complaint about it. Next morning I called and spoke to their manager "Antonio" explaining him the problem with the pizza. He was very very rude telling me that the onion were sautéed every morning and nobody else had a problem with it and he can't do anything about it. I didn't encouraged the conversation with the attitude that was thrown on him felt offended and let it go. I think they need to learn how to talk to their customers. I was very polite in explaining him the problem and I didn't see any reason for the rude behavior. They need to understand that customer take an effort to make a call to help them with the bitter experience for their improvisation in future. Such things should be considered as for future. read more

Okay so, we ordered a pie and garlic knots and he said 40 minutes , this took an hour and a half to get to my house. We called the guy said he's a minute away there was traffic meanwhile we live a minute away. Then he still isn't here. We call again then he goes , " there was a accident and they got a flat tire " the delivery driver gets here and the pizza is cold and there's no garlic knots. So it took a hour and a half and the pizza was cold and no garlic knots. Disappointed read more

Save your time and money. This is today's example of Dusal's food quality. I've given them many chances over the years and this is the last time I get "burned". read more

Been coming here for 25 years and today (Labor Day) was not the best. I had manicotti which was just so so. I say this because the ricotta cheese was stiff and not creamy, absolutely no flavor at all. Now for the really bad part. The red sauce was bitter and this is the first time this has ever happened. I have always loved their sauce. My husband mentioned this to me also that the taste of sauce was not the same. He had Veal Saltimbocca which he raved about. However, his side of penne had very little sauce. Perhaps that was a good thing! Now for the waitress....I do not know her name but she lost 30 lbs. How do I know this? She had a very long conversation with the table next to us and we couldn't help but hear this. After that conversation, another couple came in and she preceded to engage in a conversation with them for 13 minutes ( I timed it). Not once did she come to our table to ask if everything was okay. So we had to wait for our check until she finished her conversations. This is totally unacceptable of a waitress. We still gave the usual tip of 20% because the bus boys were attentive. I gave 3 stars only because of my husbands veal was excellent. We will give this place one more chance and if they changed the sauce it will be our last time. read more

I really liked the Brooklyn Pie (it was huge and very well flavored, especially the sauce) and if I were just grading this place on that, I'd give it a 4.5, but everything else was mediocre (eggplant rollatini, cavatelli and broccoli and mad expensive caesar salad). I'd definitely go back to get pizza or try the sandwiches, but probably not for pasta or salad again... read more

Dusal's - I went to Dusal's,two up,& I'm picky - Pizza Near Me - Kendall Park, New Jersey

We ordered their brooklyn style special pizza and penne vodka with chicken. Thinking what could go wrong :) BIG MISTAKE! Pizza was ridiculously over prized in the first place. And the taste was nowhere what we expected. But that was just the start! Out of the things we ordered, I would say the Pizza was still good. Penne Vodka with chicken. This in my opinion is the safest dish to order at an italian place. Not a Dusal's though. The pasta came so bland and the sauce was so thin.. we had to throw the most of it away. And Finally the desserts! Tiramisu was not at all tasting like a tiramisu and the Grandma's Cake was horrible! All in all, Overpriced restaurant with really no good taste. Wouldnt recommend at all. read more

I have been a customer for years. I have to say it's not what it used to be. We were there last-night the waitress was not the nicest person. We had over heard some complaints with the customers and she didn't even care about there complaints. They ask for the owner she said their both away in Italy. What kind of answer is that..... They NO longer give dipping-oil for the bread. Her answer was take it up with the owner I don't make the rules. "Crazy" also found out that they charge for extra sauce for the mozzarella sticks. They claim that what they give you should be enough. Really..... what kind of restaurant are you running..... The food wasn't even tasty. I think they are just getting cheaper on their products and wanting their customers to pay more. NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS!!!! read more

Ordered eggplant parm sandwich and fries tonight. Truly bad. Eggplant was greasy and soggy and there was little sauce or cheese; bread very poor quality. Fries better at fast food places or frozen you can buy and bake! Tasteless. Ugh. Won't be ordering again. read more

I eat here regularly and have done so since 2013 when I moved to the area. I've eaten maybe 70% of the menu items and of that 85% of what I've eaten I've loved. Fast service, good size portions, quality flavor and always excellent the following day. read more

Ordered a deep dish pie and a baked ziti pie for delivery today. What I received was a deep dish pie and baked ziti pasta dish. I called them up to resolve the issue and the guy was rude. Didn't apologize for even the possibility of hearing me wrong on the phone. He insisted he was correct. Didn't offer anything at all to make the situation better. The food was for my family and I didn't wanna make them wait so I accepted the order, and his rudeness. I'm certain I ordered a baked ziti pizza because I had to specify a size, so I said "baked ziti pizza large". I wanted the large because of the price. Maybe he heard "baked ziti lunch"? Either way, I'm sure I ordered a pizza correctly. When I placed the order, I was rushed. Quick talking, short sentences. He didn't verify the things I ordered at the end of the call. I should've insisted on verifying, but it's sad when you have to assert yourself to this length as a customer. read more

We regularly get take out from Dusal's...at least once a week. Pizza, salads, sautéed spinach, mozzarella sticks, and the Dusal's burger - yum. It's true, they are the best in the immediate area. I will say that when we got our pizza a few nights ago...and it was 75% burnt...I had to wonder who felt it was a good idea to send it out. Please Dusal's...your reputation is on the line with stuff like that. read more

Dusal's - Pizza Near Me - Kendall Park, New Jersey

Service was good, meal not that good. We really used to like this place. The fettuccine alfredo was very creamy/milky, no cheese or butter taste at all. I kept using the cheese shaker to give it some cheese flavor. The side of sausage was tasteless, with a very watery tomato sauce over it. We sent back the chicken parmigiana because it was cold. The tomato sauce was basically right from a can. Salad was fresh and ok. Honestly not worth $38. read more

Good jersey pizza. I'm glad I didn't listen to the cry babies complaining about this place lol

What a bad food experience we had tonight. My husband ordered the Manicotti and it looked like a sheet of Lasagna stuffed with ricotta cheese and it was flavorless, I ordered the most simple Spaghetti with meat sauce and it was vey mediocre, nothing special and my kids had the meatballs with spaghetti and the sauce looked like it came from a can... Disgusting!!! What a big disappointment. read more

Had dinner with friends last night 7/11/08, did the Dusals takeout pizza route. They called at 6:45 to order the pizza, it wasn't done until 7:30! My friend actually went to the local Stop and Shop to get soda for the kids, because the pizza's weren't ready when he first got to Dusal's. After a 10 minute trip to the Stop and Shop, they STILL were not ready. 45 minutes to make two exotic pizzas (one plain and one mushroom and pepperoni) ! Friday's at Dusal's are brutal. We need more local restaurants! Luckily they were yummy... read more
