Dirko’s Pizza

Amazing for the price and so many options! Probably the best pizza I’ve had from Mount Vernon that wasn’t a from a well-​known chain. Great location, too, whether you’re uptown or downtown. Very friendly staff and I love that I can watch my pizza being made. Also, another pro for those who are kind of on the Pizza-​Only Diet, their productions are consistent; otherwise, it tastes the same each time. I know that’s a huge pet peeve of mine when things change with every order. Dirko’s has it done right.

Hands down, my favorite pizza shop in Mount Vernon. Good pizza, amazing stromboli and their meals (especially lasagna) are really good too. The customer service could use some improvement occasionally but it is a busy place so they sometimes can’t keep up.

Sorry reviewers, I consider myself a bit of a pizza connoisseur. Dirkos pizza crust tasted like a grocery store frozen pizza. Getting only a basic pepperoni pizza we thought that was a good telling point for quality. The toppings are also cheap. Being from the Columbus, Ohio area, this pizza shop wouldn’t last a minute with all the high quality pizza places. I’m sure there are other better quality pizzas in the Mt Vernon area.
Note: how can you really mess pizza up that bad right? Well, we each ate 2 pieces and the trash can had the rest. Sorry, it was late and we were hungry and had to find something else to eat. Maybe the Stromboli might be a better option but we will not be trying that anytime soon.

Their Stromboli is FANTASTIC! I think I have eaten at least a hundred of them myself. Their delivery is always good, the food is hot, and I find their Stromboli so much better than anyone else, the other places seem like they are selling a frozen product, but Dirko’s is always fresh and good.

They have 2 locations the only one I have had is Newark location .I like the Stromboli and the pizza is good it is not my favorite sauce but that might just be my taste preference .They only have a small area for dine in. I usually get delivery it has always been on time and hot.

After reading what fellow Unilocaler’s had to say I have finally tried Dirko’s. And now I’ve had it twice in 5 days. For starters, the first time I tried the Stromboli after reading it’s glowing reviews. I will say Unilocaler’s were spot on! That thing was delicious! One of the locals here in Mt. Vernon that I work with confessed that he has it at least once or twice a month. I can see why.
Now, this time I figured I’d try the pizza. I was sure it would be ok, but not like the Stromboli. Well maybe I should stop assuming. The pizza was really, really good too. And I’m not usually a fan of thin crust pizza either. In this case I’ll gladly eat a thin crust pizza w/​out crying about a lack of thick chewy crust that I love.
They have been prompt on pick up times and ran to the counter to check out when I’ve walked in. I can’t believe it took me this long to try them. Oh!!! All the wasted time last year!!!

I don’t hand out 4 stars that easily, and I am not saying this compares to some speciality restaurant in a large city, but among its brothers and sisters in the pizza world this is one of the best. Their pizza is so delicious and made with fantastic ingredients, but barely anyone knows that because…
They literally have the best Stromboli I’ve ever tasted, and I love Stromboli! The meat Stromboli has pepperoni, sausage and bacon (I believe), but whatever it is… It is perfect. We normally also order a Hawaiian Stromboli as well, which really makes it difficult to choose which one to each more of.
One Warning: the veggie is LOADED with onions, even for onion lovers (which I am not). If you order it, I’d say «light on the onions» at the very least.
Next time you need some Stromboli or pizza check this place out, but make sure you give them 40 – 45 minutes because they are busy!

Good pizza, reliable delivery, great stromboli!.
