"A staple in the Tower District for four decades, Richie's Pizza & Hot Dogs is the go-to spot for locals craving New York-style thin crust. Pizzas can be ordered by the slice or as a whole. A slice is more like two huge slices. A slice of pepperoni remains $6.45, so you get your money's worth. A whole pepperoni pizza is $25.75. I tried a slice of the combo, $7.75 - pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives - had most of the components of a good New York thin crust: an easily foldable crust that had a good balance of chewiness and crispiness, fresh toppings, well-seasoned meats, and generously layered with mozzarella cheese. The tomato sauce lacked the distinct zest and freshness I am particularly fond of (from some of my favorite New York-style pizza parlors in New York, San Francisco, and throughout Southern California where I moved from).The other classic, affordable, on-the-go dish is, of course, their hot dogs. They make them with all-beef franks and serve them up New York-style, Chicago-style, their specialty the Richie Chili Dog, and the Fresno Dog. There is even a Pizza Dog, prepared with spicy beef sausage, homemade pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and onions. It is not a true hot dog stand if they do not have fresh sauerkraut and both yellow and spicy mustard, along with relish and diced onions. Richie's has it all.Richie's is a popular choice for a quick, inexpensive, grab-and-go meal or if you are in the Tower District and want to sit down and enjoy a pizza slice or hot dog with an ice-cold beer or soda. It stays open late on weekends."
"This place was a recommendation from a friend. We saw they had award winning burgers and were so excited. This place did not disappoint. We each ordered a single burger and fries. I got steak fries and my husband got seasoned fries. The service was great. The girls up front was helpful and patient. It was a diner/style burger place. You order up front and they bring you the food. We ordered a chocolate shake before leaving and it was thick and delicious! We can't wait to go back and try the onion rings."

"The service was friendly & great. Servings generous. So many great options at this collection of food trucks with nice seating, and I'd like to try another truck next time, but I may just have to try a different hot dog from Kreme Dog. I had the Flaming Frito Dog and this 60+ year old white lady found it bland, so it was not a winner for me.The garlic fries were delicious and very rich. I couldn't eat all the food."
"6/29/23 Really really liking their veggie cheese sandwich! Ordered for lunch! It's open and only been open a week! No wait. The worker was very kind. He wasn't certain when I asked for hot sauce, but the manger was great and took over helping. Hot sauce will be on the side. Very nice inside. All the red and white square decor. Music playing inside. Paid for the order and wished a good day! Waited a bit. Got some peanuts. It gets better! The manager said toppings are free and I could add jalapeños. What? Seriously? Already had my order ready and complete, but was happy to give jalapeños on the side. Yes! Received along with a thank you! Lunchtime! It was REALLY DELICIOUS. They didn't include the hot sauce, but the fresh jalapeños made up for it! Fresh veggies, loved the fresh jalapeños to spice it up, fresh bread and cheesy! The bomb! Great service and delicious, great veggie cheese sandwich with jalapeños added! Highly recommended!"
"I've been coming here ever since I found out relatives live here. And if there's one constant in my Porterville travels.... WILL BE SUPER BURGER!Ironically, we come for the shakes, we get the Chocolate Chip one and they blend it with Vanilla and Chocolate shavings. Name me a place that can do this (I think not). Another staple I get is the Fried Zucchini. Anywhere else in the bay area, I can't find anything that compares to Super Burgers. Along with their ranch, home made and it pairs beautifully with anything you dip it in. 8/24/2024"

My favorite pizza in Fresno, and they have awesome dogs to boot! Came here after I saw my friend eating a slice, and I've been coming back ever since. The staff are always friendly and kind. One time I forgot my wallet, and the server gave me my order anyway, no questions asked. He said to pass it along. I couldn't believe that. Nothing like kindness and generosity to make a slice of pizza taste even better. I love the dogs too, and they're happy to customize them as you please.I love Richie's, and I hope to be back soon.

Sorry for the pic, but the Messy fries were so good, I devoured it before I took the pic. Whoops! Carne asada, Monterey Jack cheese, house sauce, grilled onions and grilled jalapeños. They put the perfect amount of everything! Other places put too much sauce or too much toppings that I feel it takes away from the balance in flavors. They also make a wrap that is similar, except it's in a spinach wrap with hot fritos. Delicious! Staff is super nice too!

Apparently, when it's 105 out, that's a GOOD time to hit this location. The parking lot wasn't full with prime spots in the shade sitting empty. Since I hate crowds, SCORE! I am on this lame but effective 'once a month' self-imposed eating plan and it's working. I threw the gauntlet down on crappie things I was eating that I know we're not good for me (can't control). Instead of telling myself I could never have them (ridiculous and undercutting myself), I told myself I could have them once a month, but no more. When that time came, whatever that thing was, it would become unrestricted. And so I rolled...And it's worked amazingly well. In fact, I was surprised to discover that I cared about those things less than less. And that was true of this visit. So, I wanted to mix it up and a large fry here was on the rotation. I hit this place a few times a year but not more. The restaurant was virtually empty. The temperature was very nice with a constant strong blast of cold air coming from every vent. Almost excessive. There was nobody in front of me and nobody behind me. Not one person was in the restaurant other than myself. There was no way I was going to eat a burger with this large fry. The large fry here alone is 1400 cal! Can you imagine what throwing a burger on top of that would be (kinda the overall problem with fast food)? Sure you could do a small burger and a small fry, but I was sticking to my program and it was Fry-day!!I thought it was rather silly that the girl who took my order and expedited it kept calling out 'number 31' when I was the only one in the restaurant. Instead of just looking over at me and saying my order was ready, she stood behind the counter looking straight ahead repeatedly calling the number. Seemed a bit rigid...robotic..The fries themselves were just exactly what you would expect and I'm glad I scratched the itch. The ketchup tasted repulsive, too sweet and too salty. Other than fruit, I am not used to things that are sweetened and I've reduced sodium out of my diet which makes everything more sensitive. Good, 'cause I don't really want to eat this stuff more often! It was kind of harsh hits. lol The degree of a offense lessened after a few bites (like other poisons seemed to).. And so with the loud disco music playing, I began the well worn hand to mouth coordination dance ensuring that each thing before me would make it into my mouth. Having mastered this skill early on, It did.Having fries is not an issue, it's the frequency, how often do I was having them. I've used this orginal system with other things (crap things with no nutrition value/fiber) and it's working the exact same way. I'm caring less and less about the things I used to value. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should... And so this cycle is over, reaffirming that most often 'the joy in the wanting and less in the getting.' More than enough, always there but only once a month IF I want them....When I swing back for one of their $15 burgers someday, I will skip the fries. As always, even if a sugar drink was free, I'd shun it like a cigarette and go for the water. Even tap!-G

The food is still great after 20+ years. The baby burger is my favorite not to mention the crinkle cut fries cooked till golden brown and low on salt. Customer service is almost always the top of the line. Keep up the good work and I'll I'll keep going back.

This placed was my favorite for hamburger or ice cream, they no longer sell parfaits and it's so expensive. I'd recommend driving to manning/golden state for a better burger and ice cream at a reasonable price.

This place was good! Although they upped the prices it was still less than 25 dollars for 2 burgers one fries and a drink. The burgers were not dry neither were the buns. The staff were nice and quick !

Considering it's a fast food place it's not bad. The burgers were fresh, though the chicken strips were not.Overall nice

"The food is really delicious and the Burgers are big. The chili is really good. You get your moneys worth. They have great customer service. The only down side is the outdoor seating and when the train comes by it's really loud."
"Very friendly service! Simple drive-in food: burgers, fries, shakes, fried appetizers. My biggest complaint is their bacon isn't the fresh cooked kind, it seems to be pre-cooked, and just heated up when added to a burger. Drive-ins should always have the good bacon. Prices are on the up. No inside to sit in, so it's a to-go or fair-weather spot."
"Best "fast" hamburger in town. A hearty burger topped with cheese and a healthy serving of lettuce, tomato, and pickles! Try the fish burger too."
"The street corn is amazing, piña Fresca isn't too sweet and the el hot dog is so good .My husband and I love this place."
"Having heard only great things about House of Juju, I was excited to finally be able to try one of their gourmet burgers. I got the Leticia burger which has spicy chipotle cilantro sauce and avocados. With their burgers, there are several protein options such as beef, turkey, mushroom, and bison. Side options come with the burgers too. It's a very filling meal for about $20. The service is attentive. The restaurant is walk-ins only. Dogs are welcomed here and are seated on the patio."
