    Mushroom and pepperoni
    C.J L.

    This pizza shop has delicious pizza that reminds me of the excellent pizza I would find back home in NY. I recommend their picante pie and mushroom and pepperoni pie but truthfully you really can't go wrong here. Not in the mood for pizza? Miyuki's Noodle Shop is also located here and has high quality food as well. I love their tuna poke. I believe it is a husband and wife duo. The husband owns the pizza shop and the wife owns the noodle shop. Both amazingly good food

    A perfect thin crust pizza! Our favorite spot in CT. Photographed is the Classic White, it was delicious. Also loved the Margherita & Pepperoni.

    Update 2022. Still the best pizza around. The Margherita is perfect if you want something other than the NY style pie.

    Delicious slice of cheese pizza

    With all the pizza options in Connecticut and New York it is almost impossible to stand out, let alone be considered the best. Without hype or fanfare, Dante's Pizza has established its brand of neo-Neapolitan/New Haven style pizza as one of the areas best. How lucky are New Canaanites to have access to exceptional pizza in a casual and affordable setting. I have been eating at top pizzerias from New York to LA and have yet to have pizza better than this. From this wood fired oven on Pine Street you will find pizza to rival legendary pies from around the country. It's no surprise, because chef Dante has sourced the best ingredients and honed his skills at restaurants in Brooklyn and Berkeley before settling in New Canaan. Every slice has been better than the next, but I have a few favorites, including the homemade meatball and the picante with sausage, provolone and Calabrian chili peppers. Dante's pizza is worth seeking out. Make time to enjoy not only the pizza, but the homemade bread and focaccia, hearty sandwiches and escarole and bean soup. On a recent visit, I departed from pizza, and tried the pork ribs agridolce and the bitter green salad with escarole, radicchio, pecorino and a walnut vinaigrette. In these dishes, Dante's fine dinning skills shine. The homemade cannoli with dark chocolate, pistachio and confectioners sugar are not to be missed. On a recent visit, a friend was so enamored with the cannoli, that he purchases a large box to take home to share with friends and family.

    One of the few places that actually delivers on their promise of NY style thin crust pizza. Every pie on their menu is delicious.

    Our table was ready when we arrived, however it was like a bar stool table and too hard for my…read moreparents to manage. They kindly changed our table immediately. HOWEVER... We were seated next to 2 tables. One was a bunch of moms hanging out and having many drinks and their children at another table. Both tables were obnoxiously loud. The kids were Constantly up and down, bumping into my mom's chair, they were all over the restaurant, screaming in my mom's ear. My moms asked them nicely a few times to not scream in her ear. Eventually they sat back down after the waiter said something. But they sat ON the table and couldn't sit still. Totally get that they're kids, but at some point management should have said something before we asked.. Anyway, that's not really the restaurants fault. It just made for an unpleasant experience for our party. Our server was friendly and attentive, Our food was good, portions were good: Everything tasted fresh. My only gripe is that it's very loud and I feel like management should ask parents to control kids that are ruining it for others.

    This place truly is a hit or miss. Unfortunately, tonight it was a huge miss. We were walking home…read moreand decided to stop there with our 9 and 11 year olds. We take a look at the menu and my daughters notice a soft-shell crab on the specials - for a mere $39.95 it came on a whole bed of wilted spinach. we order the clam oregata and a seafood risotto for ourselves. The clams and risotto were very good, but the crab was appalling, I wish I took a picture. It was a skimpy crab with literally maybe 2-3 teaspoons of meat in it, no exaggeration. The owners actually came over to ask how everything was, and when we told them about the crab and the fact that there wasn't any meat in it they just said "well, it's a whole crab" and walked away. I was really confused. I don't know whether they overcooked it (likely) or if it was caught too late, either way no apology whatsoever from them. m The shell had the consistency of hard shrimp skin, not something easy to chew like it should have been. One clam app, one risotto and the crab were $125 And I had to make my daughters dinner once I got home. I don't think I will be returning, there are plenty of better restaurants in the area.. what a shame.
