Duza's Kitchen

The breakfast menu seemed interesting wanted something different besides the usual breakfast so we decided to try it and they did not disappoint.
We had the steak chorizo and the savory crepes, both excellent.
A few days later before leaving town we decided to try them for dinner this time. We arrived right as they opened for dinner time, we didn't have a reservation but they were very accommodating and funny enough they actually gave us the same table that we sat on for breakfast a few days before.
We had the stuffed trout and it was also excellent, unfortunately I did not take a picture because we were starving 😆 but it was a perfect meal to end our vacation.

Tasty dishes. Big portions. Fast, accommodating and very friendly service. Nice relaxed atmosphere.
Will be stopping in every time I'm in the area.

If you happen to be around Payson AZ I invite you to discover one of the best hidden gems in AZ, Duza’s Kitchen is just a marvelous place, cosy, homey and delicious. The eggs Benedict with spinach frittata and salmon were just a delight, applewood bacon on the side. The coffee was memorable and the french toast a very distinctive and yummy version
Amazing value too. We brunched but it looked perfect for lunch and dinner too
Thanks Chef Duzik and team the service was just perfect. We really hope to be back

Waited for about 40 minutes and it was worth it. Cute place, very cozy. Food is prepped at the moment you order and it takes a while. Completely worth it. I ordered the Hash and had some bites of the french toast. Both were delicious with good portions. My friends ordered the hollandaise eggs with pork belly and they loved it. Not sure when I'll go back to Payson, but will absolutely encourage anyone to visit. Service was good and the atmosphere was good also.

5 stars for sure!!! Food and service phenomenal, first time here and won’t be the last. Can’t believe never knew about this place until someone suggested it. Not your normal eggs and bacon breakfast place but that gets boring and the menu selection here is nothing short of great food. We got the crispy potato bowl and savory crepe!!! To die for. Can’t wait to try more on the menu to include lunch!!!

Amazing place.
The chorizo frittata special was delicious. The salad was an explosion of flavors.
Pictures? Next time we come.
Oh, yea! You’ll thank me later.

Well, we had to come back and to no surprise, the food was still amazing. This time we ordered The Porchetta Egg Benedict and the Shepherd’s Biscuit

A rainy morning greeted us in Payson on our first day of our Southwest USA Roadtrip. This quaint eatery is all it's hyped up to be and it made our morning cheerful in spite of the weather. Duza's has delicious, unique food served with style, attentive waitstaff, and a fun, homey environment with lots of cute decor and art. Thanks for the experience!

Not sure how I've never left a review for Duzas but likely as I always forget to take a photo when the food arrives as we are busy devouring in blissful joy. I've ordered a lot of items on the menu but my favorite is breakfast. Order the hazelnut late-you won't be disappointed-best coffee overall and so much better than the trend companies out there. Photoed here is the savory crepe. I love how the menu changes daily and all ingredients are fresh.

Probably the BEST food we've ever had! We eat out quite a bit and have traveled extensively. This place is a gem. Owner and chef retired, moved from Phoenix. Payson is truly blessed to have him!! Cannot praise his culinary skills enough! Best croissants we've ever had. Light, homemade tarragon (?) butter. Absolutely the BEST beef Wellington 👌 You have to experience it for yourselves. Prices are very reasonable, as well.

I think this is the most sincere and important compliment I’ve ever given to a restaurant. This place makes me excited to cook and eat more vegetables. Today I enjoyed the gorgeously flavored gnocchi dish with chicken skewers as my appetizer. Driving home all I thought about was what I could make that would be similar and drove to the grocery store and bought everything to make ratatouille and made it for dinner! My first time cooking it and it was inspired by the wonderful vegetable forward meals at Duza’s. Thank you for making such clean, healthy meals. My husband and I drive from Phoenix for this place because of the food and atmosphere.

Such a cute little place with absolutely delicious food! We found this place here on Google maps and decided to try it out. We are so glad we did! The outside looks like a charming little house, with a nice little patio. The inside is very cozy and very cute as well(sorry I keep using the word cute but it’s how I feel about looks). The staff was very professional and friendly. When our food came it looked beautiful and very appetizing. I had the Shepherd’s Biscuit and it was absolutely delicious! The “biscuit” wasn’t a typical biscuit but it was so good, like homemade. My husband got the House Hash dish and he loved it! He ate every bite and enjoyed it all. When we were done we went to the spot where they have baked goods for sale, we got a couple of cinnamon rolls, a cherry turnover and an apple turnover. We all loved those baked goods as well. We live in the valley but we will definitely return here again!

The food as always on pointe here! Therefore you might have a small to medium wait. But I would wager to say it’s worth it! So far 2-4 trips between differ family members and no one has ever been let down! Yum yum yum! Plus dog friendly patio!

Way BEYOND expectations for a small causal looking restaurant. The look inside is artistic. The buildings previous life was an art studio and you can still feel it. It’s small but well arranged for seating. The little niches are perfect for a intimate meal. The menu is just copy paper but the food is edible gold. Super impressed with the presentation and flavor. We had the hash, the salmon toast and the French toast. All three were so good! Our dog even had a doggie dish. They have a pet menu! We sat on the patio w our dog and enjoyed the weather and a wonderful meal. The local art was on display outside and we were sheltered from the rain. They had a dog water bowl and loved treats and dog bone treats set out. The owner Victoria was present and engaging and made sure we were enjoying the meal and satisfied. We looked around the inside and wow! I love this place. Next time I’m eating inside. The kitchen was open. They have a dance French pasty area and a coffee bar. The bathroom was cool I had to take a video. This is a must for any visit to Payson. Be patient as all good is cooked to order and served by a very intimate staff. 10 stars if it was available.toast

Duza’s came highly recommended by friends and we were overall not disappointed. The grass fed beef appetizer was delicious, although the condiments that came with it didn’t add a lot. I had crab stuffed trout with roasted vegetables for my main and can highly recommend that. My partner ordered the roasted vegetable main but had them leave off the grains that came with it as he can’t eat them. He asked for extra vegetables but the protein was quite small for a $25 entree. The vegetables were tasty but he was still hungry and I b wished I’d given him my portion of the beef appie. The way staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was homey and peaceful.

Nestled in Payson lies a culinary treasure: a hidden gem owned by a passionate chef with a penchant for perfection. This restaurant not only caters to human taste buds but also welcomes our four-legged friends on the patio with treats galore.

Each dish is a work of art, meticulously crafted and presented with flair. Every bite bursts with flavor, showcasing the chef's dedication to using only the freshest, all-natural ingredients cooked from scratch. The menu, ever-changing, keeps patrons on their toes, while the daily specials are thoughtfully curated to tantalize and delight.

Yet, it's not just the food that leaves a lasting impression. The service, warm and genuine, makes you feel like you're among friends. Everyone leaves with a smile. In this culinary haven, happiness is not just a byproduct; it's the main ingredient.

In summary, look no further than this remarkable restaurant. Your taste buds—and your heart—will thank you.

Absolutely awesome little family owned restaurant with unique and delicious food. We were eating here 2 days in a row. Everyone ( group of 8) was satisfied with the food and friendly staff. Will definitely return and recommend.

Duza’s Kitchen is amazing!! The food is sooo fresh, homemade, healthy and delicious all at once!! Truly wholesome eating. We’ve been here twice now and have loved it both times. They are so friendly here and the atmosphere so welcoming and beautiful. This last time, they sat my husband, pup and I pretty close to closing (which we don’t make a habit of by any means) but they were very kind and welcoming all the same. We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💗😍👏🏼

Also, I love my husband very much!! Shoutout to Eric! 🥰👏🏼🤩

Superb breakfast place. Very pleasant atmosphere both in terms of music and interior design/decoration. Excellent service, and downright awesome food! From what we have seen, everything that came out of the kitchen looks delicious and carefully prepared. One thing to be aware of is that they do not do food substitutes, so if you have any health related food limitations, take it into consideration.

After the market, stopped by this local gem (that use to be someone's house) for brunch. I got the Shepherd's Biscuit topped with bacon, brisket, Italian sausage, avocado, ricotta and eggs over medium. Our server, Brandon, recommended the pear mimosa - first time trying that pearing (pairing lol), delicious 😋!! Cute lil spot to check out while you are in the area, can't wait to come back!! The owner is the chef and comes out to check on patrons as time allows.

Everything was delicious! The restaurant is very quaint and the service was excellent. Their menu is exotic for such a small town. The dishes are what you'd find on a very posh restaurant's menu. What a treat! Also worth mentioning, they are dog friendly! I love that they have a menu just for dogs! The doggie treats are awesome! 🩷🐾🐶

My new favorite breakfast/brunch place in Payson! This place is a little off the beaten path in an old house with lots of character. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food presentation was great and very tasty! We would definitely go back when in the area.
