I tried a calzone and hot bbq wings. The calzone comes with sausage, pepperoni and cheese. I added hot capicola ham. A nice size dish of warm marinara is included. The calzone was excellent. The hot bbq wings were equally delicious. I would order from here again in a heartbeat. read more

The delivery guy was nice. I had to re-bake the pizza, it was not done all the way. Then my first slice of pizza I found a hair. read more

We love Dirkos best pizza and Stromboli! Love it! Friendly, warm and helpful! nice atmosphere and great food! Dirkos is always consistent on the bake and taste of their food items! A+++++ read more

My office did a group order for delivery. The estimated delivery was 45 minutes, but it probably wasn't more than 20 so it was pretty fast. The staff were all friendly and thorough regarding our order. We had different items so it was a good overview. It was also nice as the pizza boxes had coupons on them. Be sure to cut out the coupons for next time. My pizza was unfortunately not great. Tasted a bit bland and dry. The crust was rock hard and wasn't improved by microwaving the next day. The price wasn't bad at least, I paid $9 for an 11 inch one topping lunch pizza. The Stromboli is what this place is known and loved for. They also have a Stromboli lunch special that's pretty cheap. Some of my coworkers enjoy their subs too. Basically it's a great local place that is best for Stromboli. read more

Food was ok at best, service was terrible. Coming from out of town had a couple questions on the order, was greeted with a lot of huffing and got the sense they didn't feel like fielding any questions. Would have went elsewhere but had limited options at the time we were ordering. read more

Simple, straight forward pizza served up from cozy ovens that work just as hard as the expert Stromboli makers that run them. And the pizza is just as good. Make sure you order extra sauce with your Stromboli, because a meal this good deserves all the sauce you can put on it! read more

UPDATE - This is for the Howard store which doesn't have a Yelp page. We often order the Strombolis which are amazing but this time decided to get the pizza. Ordered the large All the Way and enjoyed it. The crust wasn't our favorite since we prefer wood fired crusts, but still a good product. Hope you like onions . read more

Dirko's Pizza - All the Way. We substituted bacon for sausage. - Pizza Near Me - Mount Vernon, Ohio

Update: Dakota was very nice and tried to fix the issues I had. It's very appreciated when they recognize the problem and try to fix it. Ordered for delivery and the order was wrong. It was my first time ordering and I told them I wanted a salad with cheese and olives and they gave me a salad with a single tomato and pepper nothing else. It took over 40 minutes to get here and the pizza is cold. The taste wasn't there either, but who knows if it's good hot! read more

Dirko's Pizza - Disappointed in this place - Pizza Near Me - Mount Vernon, Ohio

Stromboli in the proper midwest college town tradition. These ppl rule and they don't even know it. Forgot there even was food like this anymore! read more

Boy are we glad they opened in Johnstown! I've heard about Dirko's in Newark for years; but, never made the trip out to go there. We received a mailer advertising their ten mile delivery radius so we took a chance. And boy were were delighted with them! The pizza is laden with toppings. No skimping here! The crust is okay. But, the sauce! Slightly spicy, slightly tangy! Yum! For us, the start of the meal is the cheese stuffed breadsticks! They are cheesy, covered in garlic butter, and served with a delicious sauce! It is more of a traditional gravy, with hints of chicken and basil! Yum! read more

The Stromboli is very good! I would recommend this as one of the top pizza establishments in this town. Stay away from the chains or out of town pizza shops and support our local establishments! read more

Visiting from Las Vegas, fell in love with the town for the views and cute downtown area. However, this place made me fall in love more. Great food, great prices and everything was hot even after our 5 minute drive back to our hotel. We order the calzone, chicken wings, cheese fries and mini corn dogs. You would think we were ordering for a pair of 10 year olds but nope just some 30 year olds who were tried from a concert. read more

Best Stromboli! Very polite staff behind the counter! Dirkos is out place to go when we are in the area

Probably one of the best pizza places in Mt Vernon. The service is great. Even with delivery, the arrives quickly, warm, and fresh! Definitely recommend. read more

The pizza is one-of-a-kind. It's always perfect always warm. They have good. Stromboli's subs are good but everything that comes from Dirko's's is usually the best and very very good and the owners are really nice people. read more

Best stromboli EVER. Highly recommended, cult-like following. Husband and son are also big fans of the burgers when they are in stock, frequently sold out. Much cheaper alternative to DoorDash for a great burger delivered. read more

I order here every payday it's my roommate and I'd fave spot they are on it when delivering and always leaves me super satisfied

Best Stromboli in town! Not the best pizza, but the Stromboli makes up for it. Their salads are yummy, too.

A little on the pricy side but definitely worth it for what you get. The Stromboli is an absolute must try!

We normally love dirkos stromboli, but last night we ordered an extra large with pepperoni sausage and bacon and the bacon was mostly just pieces of fat... The service was great and we got our food at a decent time. But other than the bacon it was great! read more

After reading what fellow YELPer'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 YELPer'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!!! read more

Love affairs are fickle. One minute, cRazy so crazy in love. Next minute, all your things In a box to the left. My love affair with Dirkos has ended. Up to this point I've only ever ordered their Stromboli, which is really delicious. I loved Dirkos. I get the regular Stromboli and add sausage/green pepper/onion. Yum. Tonight, I decided to test our relationship and get a sub. Sigh. Wrong move. I ordered the Deluxe Steak and Cheese sub. The bread was great, good sub bread. Crispy outside, soft inside. But the sandwich itself...hmmmm. A steak and cheese sub is normally made with that incredible chopped steak with melted cheese on top. Even steak'ums would've worked better than this option. With this sub the meat was actually like a chuckwagon patty, similar to the kind you use to get in the school cafeteria. It was more like a hamburger, an oblong hamburger. I could tell by the markings on it that it obviously came in frozen, I'm not sure if it was even grilled...I'm gonna bet it was microwaved. I only ate half. Blah. Why three stars? Cause I'm fickle...it's a love affair. And the Stromboli is lovely. read more

I've tried almost everything on the menu, and have never been disappointed. The lunch specials are an incredible bargain, and every option is satisfying. Thanks to all the employees that make this incredible food. read more

This use to be a decent place all around but when my 70 yr old sister ordered a sub it was terrible!! The sub bun was so hard and burnt she couldn't eat it. To make a long story short . she called the store and the manager wanted to argue and say she was trying to get another sub for free she told him she had the full sub and he could have it back nothing .missing from the sub mind u. After the manager continued to argue with her he did make it right but had to give this lady a hard time and all she wanted was to eat her $8.00 sub!!! Oh by the way manager name is Dean!! And a reg $8.00 sub is too much to pay especially from an old lady!! Customer service sucks!! read more

Long standing family business that's has excellent pizza, subs and well known for their Stromboli.

Whenever I want to indulge, I order Dirko's Stromboli. They pack it full and it's always delivered (or picked up) steaming hot. The sauce is my favorite part, and I always use so much per bite! Sometimes, I order a bigger size (medium or large) stromboli for myself- because who doesn't like leftovers? If you're in town and in the mood for "pizza", try Dirko's stromboli! You won't regret it. read more

We love Dirko's! The Stromboli is the best I have ever had. The crust is simply delicious every time. We always say we are going to try the pizza but always go back for the Stromboli. You just can't go wrong! I recommend them to anyone that may be on the fence. A little pricey but worth it! My entire family loves it! We always buy extra so we can have left overs. They do it right every time! read more

The pizza is great especially the sausage they use, sub was pretty gross but what really hurts this business is the insanely long delivery times. 45 minutes at lunch or an hour plus at dinner is really pathetic for the area. They should be able to get it to you in town in 30 minutes max for dinner or lunch. read more

Dirkos has good food, they only get a 3 star rating because it takes 1-2 hours to get your order. Slow slow slow. It want good pizza in a timely manner go to Marcos next door. read more

Ordered delivery on a weeknight, and it arrived well inside the 45 minutes they said on the phone. The stromboli (sausage and mushroom) and pizza (chicken and banana peppers) were hot and delicious (especially the stromboli). Only issue I had is that I ordered a salad, and they didn't bring me any plastic ware. Delivering to a hotel room, one should assume a person doesn't have fork and knife in the room. Otherwise fantastic ... and oh ... the prices are amazing. read more

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! read more

Dirkos is a solid pizza joint and a local favorite. The stromboli is some of the best you can find anywhere, and they always have timely deliveries. Would recommend. read more

The business model for this place is quite janky. I wouldn't bother calling within 30 minutes of closing time, because they'll always be closed for whatever reason (ran out of cheese, bad weather, etc). If you decide to close early every night, perhaps change the hours of operation? I would understand if it were an aberration. Unfortunately, it isn't. I can't fathom an explanation other than laziness. These folks should take some notes from their competitors. read more

We consistently have good food and good service from Dirko's. The Stromboli is to die for, and my family also really likes the lasagna and burgers. Only real complaint is they frequently run out of burgers! Salads are hit or miss, sometimes the bagged salad tastes bad. read more

Had a pizza from here delivered last night. Wow! It was great. The amount of toppings was perfect. The pizza was hot and drinks cold. The driver was friendly. What more could you ask for? The stromboli is supposed to be even better. Might have to get that tonight. read more

I am pretty much a pizza-holic. This is honestly my favorite pizza place in town. I am a big fan of the pizza and Stromboli . The wings are so delicious . Thin crust and never stingy with toppings . Definitely recommend. read more

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. read more

If you ask for well done - and are unhappy TOUGH. If you ask for your money back because you are not satisfied, "you can have your money back but never come back". YOU KEEP MY MONEY, I WON"T BE BACK! LOYAL to Dirko's for 9 years, once sometimes twice a week I gave my money to this local business. Last week we gave them 40 dollars, this week 35 and the week before that - FOR 9 YEARS! You can have your money back "but never come back". What a sickening, disgraceful SCREW YOU to a customer who has given THOUSANDS of dollars and customer loyalty for 9 years. I don't much appreciate the "thank you" I just received for stuffing your pockets full of my money - one pizza out of THOUSANDS and this is what I deserve? Our society and the treatment of it's people has degraded to the point of horrific. The customer is no longer king! read more

Since an earlier visit to this restaurant, I have noticed a world of improvement on customer service and accuracy of orders. The stromboli is my favorite here. What was impressive to me was how attentive the front line staff were with all of the customers coming in for their pick up orders. The gentleman always told each one how many minutes were left before it was ready. Customers like to be able to manage expectations, and the staff helped us do that. So glad to continue to patron this establishment. Bravo, Dirko's. read more

Favorite hometown pizza place. Great Stromboli and delicious pizza. Friendly staff too.
