There was a roadside stop that served Italian Hotdog sandwiches when I grew up in Edison, NJ, and Dickie Dee's brought back all the nostalgia with regard to good food and reasonable prices. Just a local spot with all the charm of good food that all the locals come to. The combo sandwich single is loaded with hot dog, sausage, peppers, onions and potatoes. Not sure how they would even fit more meat in for a double; the single was more than enough for me! read more

Dickie Dee's - The single - Pizza Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

A classic! Dickie Dee's is on many lists of the best Italian hot dogs in New Jersey for a reason. They have been open since 1958 and not much has changed since then. The hot dogs are well seasoned and have an appropriate crunch when you bite into them. The fried pepper and onions have the proper flavors to accompany the potatoes and the roll. The staff is friendly and efficient. Cash only read more

Dickie Dee's - Classic Double with the works - Pizza Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Dickie Dee's is a childhood neighborhood restaurant. First experience having pizza first experience having the iconic Italian Hotdog! They also have the Italian sausage. I live on the west coast now and I miss having one of those double Italian Hotdog that can keep you full all day! Next time I visit NORK! I will definitely % have to drop in! read more

Been around since I was a kid now an old lady. Moved away but came for a visit and had my husband give it a try. He tried both hot dog and potatoes but he loved the sausage and potatoes. We will definitely be back in October when we visit again. Everyone was very nice and explained the food menu to him. Love that the site still looks the same. read more

I used to live, literally, around the corner from Dickie Dee's. And I've enjoyed their one of a kind Italian Hot Dogs for over 5 decades. Italian Hot Dogs are a treat that's basically indigenous to a small section of Newark NJ - and while there is one other restaurant that also specializes in this sandwich, it pales in comparison. Most other Italian restaurants and pizzerias, even in New Jersey, have never even heard of an "Italian Hot Dog". Over the years, as I've moved away, I have sampled other restaurants some in North Carolina and another time, where I live now, in Myrtle beach, South Carolina. None come close. One restaurant owner, once he knew I was a Dickie Dee's fan, gushed how much I was going to love his version. I didn't - and he was out of business in under a year. You can get pizza and some other items at Dickie Dee's but they've been making basically one sandwich - and making it perfectly for over 50 years. And for a restaurant with just 4 or 5 tables and limited parking. that's a true success story. I urge you to give them a try! read more

Great spot ! Quick service and good food it's a experience I go for the hotdogs . Ill will be back

they will answer the phone and instead of telling you to give you a second have you on the line without saying anything while they are talking in the background , tried to call again and they won't answer the phone , horrible customer service read more

Italian hot dog was sooo delicious! Service was great - no wait time at all. Can't wait to go back again. Would definitely recommend all to give it a try! read more

Order a double Italian hotdog for my mom and I and a single Italian hotdog for my daughter. They had quite a crowd but the line moved quickly to place your order and they cooked it fresh after you placed your order. For ambiance, there wasn't a lot of space inside and all the seats were occupied due to how busy they were. But you can see them cooking your food too which is nice. I ended up just eating it in the car because it smelled too good to wait till I got home. Lol. Will definitely have this again. read more

I was told by a good buddy who grew up in Newark (amongst many other people) that the Italian Dog from Dickee Dee's was something I needed to have as soon as possible. Like an idiot I waited months before getting out there to Newark to check it out, but I'm so happy I did. This Italian Dog was massive, and on home baked bread from the bakery across the street that is legendary. The bread was firm but not hard and stood up to this massive and messy sandwich perfectly. The potatoes, onions, and peppers had such great flavor and with the dog and that awesome bread it was just outstanding. Had some of the kids with me so wanted to grab them a pie also. I took a bite from the front and a piece of the crust from one of them just so I knew. The pizza was also very good. Cheese to sauce ratio was nice, good flavor, a decent char on the bottom of the pie, and the crust wasn't too doughy. I'll for sure be back in here at some point...this was a great way to spend a few bucks and put myself in an epic food coma. Dickee Dee's in Newark, NJ - Didn't Suck! read more

I've seen families torn asunder over Dickie Dee's vs. Jimmy Buff's when it comes to Italian hot dogs. (Okay, I'm fibbing. Just really wanted to use the word 'asunder' in at least one of my Yelp reviews.) Scrabble 'Bingo word' aside... I think Dee's is the better of the two. (But maybe it's not a fair comparison since I went with their 'combo' with a mix of hot dog and sausage that gave them an unfair advantage?) Proteins - grilled to perfection, packed with a lot of flavor (and the 'double' is no joke) Peppers, onions and potatoes - great abundant ratio, tasted great Pizza bread - why isn't this as ubiquitous as a Kaiser or Italian roll?! It really elevates whatever you stuff inside of it. I'm not really a fan of ketchup and mustard but forgot to mention I didn't want it on my sandwich and you know what? It was great even with them included. (And how can you not love a place with the nerve to offer a 'potato sandwich' - that's so perfect it's kind of ridiculous.) One of my kids got their pizza - and that was no joke and inexpensive. Other kid tried their burger and thought it was fine. read more

service, ambience and food was phenomenal. absolute classic spot in NJ. A must go to. The sausage and peppers sandwich is top notch. The CHEESESTEAKS are on another level. Highly recommend. read more

Some days you just need to go old school. This classic eatery is just that and more. Stop in before a Devils game for a quick and delicious bite. You won't be disappointed! read more

What can be said about this brick city institution that hasn't already been said. If you live anywhere near Dickie Dee's you've stepped inside numerous times. While the signage outside might have changed, the heart, soul, and guts of this establishment remains untarnished. No frills, no bells and whistles. Just a good old Italian hotdog served however you liked it. My first time here was probably over 20 years ago and not much has changed (which is a good thing). I never had anything here other than the Italian hot dog. Some day I might lol. But I'm glad to report that they still do things true to memory. If you haven't been, go now. ENJOY!!! read more

Dickie Dee's - two hot dogs on a bun - Pizza Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Picked up a client at Newark Liberty for DennisBernard.com, business. Drove over to my old neighborhood and stopped in for lunch at Dickey Dee's on Bloomfield Ave, Newark. the double dog with mustard on the bottom, potatoes , onions, peppers and ketchup on the top was at major hit for my guest and exactly like the thousands I eat there over a lifetime. I was sorry I didn't get to see Ricky but enjoyed my visit as always. I highly recommend Dicky Dee's!!! read more

Been going for years. No better. I get the combo with everything. Their potatoes are the best I sometimes just get an extra bag to go. But whether it is hot dog sausage or the combo can not beat for the Italian version with potatoes onions and peppers mustard inside and ketchup outside. Go you will thank me later. And say hi to Rick ! read more

Tried DD's for lunch today for the first time after hearing the locals raving about it. I'm not much of a hotdog eater anymore and try to only eat it sparingly but figured I'd give DD's a try since it's been around for so long. Location: it is on the corner of Bloomfield avenue and another street with an American flag waving on top of the store. It is also across the street from a bright green building. Parking: DD's has a small lot in the park ( about 10 cars can fit) It's a bit awkward especially when coming out since you might have to reserve our into a 1 way street. But convenient if you can't find parking during street cleaning days. Food: I for a single ( $5) and it was basically bread , potatoes with veggie and hotdog with all the toppings. The potato's were surprisingly flavorful. Other: The inside is not big, but there's plenty of seating. Most people from what I saw took their orders to go. They do have a bathroom, I didn't get to visit it but I was told it's a little inconspicuous. All in all, if you're in the area and looking to eat from a historic spot for cheap, this is the place for you. read more

I cant believe that I have not reviews this place yet! This is the place! Dickie Dee's is a NJ institution. Up until I met my wife, I didn't know deep fried hot dogs were a thing, let alone an Italian hot dog. If you want the best one, don't go to Jimmy Buffs, come here. Everyone comes here for the deep fried hot dog on a bun with deep fried taters topped with onions and peppers. Personally, I'm not the biggest pepper person, but to each their own. Their cheesesteak is also fantastic. One of our favorite things to get is a potato plate with ketchup on top! Its like fries, but sooooo much better. I am a native NYer, so we know our pizza.... I can say that they have some pretty amazing pizza here! I get it with extra cheese, hot dogs, cheesesteak, and onions. OMG wowsers! If you go here, I highly recommend that. Don't forget a choco drink. Inside is an old school pizzeria with furniture built into the floor! It is very very very VERY dated inside, but that just adds to the charm of the place. I've never had a bad meal here. They are all super greasy, but delicious. All in all, a classic old school pizzeria with great food! What makes them stand out from the rest is they make the best Italian hot dogs. Get a triple!! read more

If you like Italian sausage or hot dog stuffed with potatoes on a pocket bread with the choice of your condiments this is your place. Haven't tried the pizza in years but I know people who get both. They have small parking lot enough to fit maybe 6 -8 cars. They do cold and hot sandwiches as well. read more

Wow. Just wow. My boss grew up in this area in the 1970s and had been talking about DD's, so I decided to give it a try. Although the sign says "Dickie Dee's Pizza," it's infamous for its Italian style hot dogs. Everything on the menu looks great - Italian style hot dogs, sausages, cheesesteaks. You can get a double or a single of the hot dog or sausage. I chose to get a single sausage sandwich - comes with the works. Sausage, pepper, onions and potatoes. GOOD potatoes with crispy edges and well seasoned peppers/onions. The allstar is the pizza bread they serve it on. I can't even describe it. It's just so good. You have to go here. read more

I just ordered from this restaurant & while eating my sandwich I pulled a piece of paper out my mouth. I then proceeded to open my sandwich to find the paper that is on the burger patty before you cook them still on my burger! I instantly called and reported this issue to them ! The response was "oo okay" as if me eating paper wasn't an issue ! I will never eat from this place again ! Please ppl Check your food before eating !! read more

So I went here last night for two slices and an Italian sausage for later! I'm pleased to say that Dickie Dee's has stood the test of time!!! The buttery bread and savory sausage with the thick external crisp potatoes with the soft inner texture was the same as I remembered from my childhood! The pizza was packed with diced flavorful sausage and the pepperoni covered another slice. To say the least...The quality hasn't changed! This and Casa Di Pizza, was our Friday pizza spot from the 70's-90's. I can't believe I have been away this long :-(, Well..., No worries! Not only am I back to stay, I can't wait to introduce my adult children to a little piece of my childhood!!! Congratulations Dickie Dee's for not only being consistent but also remaining the Best in Town!!!! See u soon!!! read more

What is there to say about Dickie Dee's that hasn't been said? This place is an established "hole in the wall" for a reason. Don't have any doubts, just go and try it out. My absolute go to: double dog with the works, add salt and pepper. Just a heads up, it's cash only. There's an ATM in the building, but if you want to avoid a fee, plan ahead. read more

Dickie Dee's - Pizza Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

After almost 10 YEARS of being a New Jersey resident, I FINALLY ate my FIRST "Italian Hot Dog"; when I first heard this name, I was confused. Nothing about the ingredients seemed terribly Italian. Coming from Bensonhurst Brooklyn and Staten Island for the rest of my prior life here on the planet, I had never even heard of this concoction... I decided if I was to try an Italian hot dog, I may as well go where many NJ natives will argue, is the best: Dickie Dee's. And what an excellent decision that was. The verdict: the Italian Hot Dog made famous at Dickie Dee's, it's simply amazing. A deep fried hot dog with fresh potato wedges, crisp, golden brown and tender inside are placed in a soft bed of a half loaf of round Italian bread, with sweet sauteed peppers and onions, and in my order, an Italian sausage as well- this one is called "the Combo". They layer it with mustard on the bottom and ketchup up top- to have it this way, it's called "all the way" or with "the works". Thanks to the Yelpers who helped me find my New Jersey original meal today, I will surely come back again and try more from this Newark institution. 10-16-2012, came back for a double sausage this time...so good! read more

I used to go there all the time when I lived in Newark. Now most people know Dicky's for their Italian Hot Dogs ( get the double dog). But the pizza there was so good. Now the owner sold it @late 1990s and I was concerned. But the food stayed consistently great. I miss going there. I now live in Phillipsburg and nobody can touch this pizza or the Italian Hot Dogs either. And Jimmy Buffs was not the first Italian Hot Dog. And they moved out of Newark. read more
