    Pizza by the Slice
    Amanda C.

    Ordered a slice of the day and a small house salad to go. Service was kind and the wait was reasonable to get it ready! The slice of the day had a garlic white sauce, mushrooms, and tomato. It was cheesy and flavor wise was delicious. I found the crust on the sweeter side. It was dry and difficult to chew, my jaws were pretty sore and could only get through 1/4 of the crust at the top. Overall not terrible but not wonderful. Portions are quite large if you like good value!

    Vegan Beatrice...yum! (and a greasy finger in the lense! )

    This place is CRAZY good. But FYI- the pizzas are huge!!! Came in to grab lunch, 2 vegans and a meatlover, and Dante's could accomodate us both! We ended up getting The Beatrice- Vegan style and The Minos which is all the meat. We figured what ever we didnt eat, pizza leftovers are always the best! I recommend grabbing a pie here- you will not regret it!

    Dante's is a terrific little pizzeria on Armitage. It's definitely not your ordinary pizza, as they have a big variety of toppings, some which are plant based. Just know there's no alcohol, only pop. Also has delivery. They have pizza by the slice or whole. Armitage location is the original Dante's. It has a newer one next to High Dive that also has beer and liquor. This one only has pop, and is more of a traditional looking pizzeria. As for the pizza, it's a good deal. It's $6 for the daily vegan slice. This kind of pizza can be whatever. Also the slices are big. These are about twice the size of a normal slice. Also you can get whole pizzas, vegan or with regular meat and cheese. The whole pizzas are quite expensive at $20 or more, so that's why to get slices and save a lot. Get pick up or delivery. It's better getting it done in because the pizza is better hot. The only bad thing is they have no alcohol, so oh well, you have to be okay with pop and pizza.

    Dante's Pizzeria: My friends and loyal followers know that I'm all about pan, stuffed, and Chicago style pizza. Making things even more unusual about this pizza choice was that I was actually in Chicago. So, why did I opt for New York style pizza while in the windy city? It's simple, the friend I was visiting said it was the best New York style slices in Chicago. If it's the best, then I've got to try it. I only got an individual slice, but it was massive! It took up the entire pizza pan it was served on. For those of you from MKE, the size was comparable to Classic Slice. I should warn you that the slices come out super-hot. It's my fault since I'm so used to getting pizza to go, but I did burn my mouth on my first bite. Although the crust was thinner than I tend to prefer, it was still surprisingly chewy. Being the cheesehead that I am, I went with a simple cheese pizza. While there wasn't anything wrong with the cheese, there wasn't as much as I tend to prefer on my slices. For me, the pizza was just okay, but the service was fine and I think most people would enjoy the pizza. Due to my bias for thicker crust and tons of cheese I'm going to give this a dual rating of just okay (me, 3 stars) as well as approved (most people, 5 stars). Doughboy_Food_Reviews

    20" Minos Specialty Pie

    OKG have you seen the SIZE of that thing? "That's what she said" HHaha had to add that in there ;) But no seriously it's HUGEE! I added a picture next to my husband and my husband is a big 6 footer guy so yeah that pizza is half is size in diameter! If you are having a party then this place is it! The reason I took 1 star off is it wasn't warm when it arrived. For it being summer months as well there was really no excuse for it to be room temp to touch. Infact, I had to put it in the oven to rewarm it. Anyway other my suggestion? If you have a party at home this is a great deal!

    Good color on the undercarriage, but floppy
    S G.

    I visited Dante's Pizzeria recently and had a very good plain cheese + basil pie (20" - their only size option.) Iconic and rich New York-style flavor, great color on the undercarriage, well-proportioned sauce and cheese, and super friendly staff. Obviously for a 20" pie the slices were HUGE, which led to some unavoidable flop. The center of the pizza had zero crisp with quite a bit of flop/grease, although the crisp/chew ratio did improve substantially after those first 2-3 bites. I'd rate the Dante's slice a solid 7.5/10. I think if they offered a 16" option, it would likely reduce the flop/grease in the middle and raise the score substantially.

    I ordered from here hoping it would be better than last time. The fried artichokes are canned artichokes that were breaded, mushy and gross. The pizza was like a cracker with the tiniest amount of cheese on it, rock hard and inedible, burned on the bottom. This place used to be so great, I don't know what happened.

    Pepperoni pizza
    Samantha C.

    Tried this spot for the first time while visiting Chicago. We got a Large Pepperoni and cheese pizza. The pizza was a mouthwatering delight, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. Each bite was a symphony of textures and tastes, from the crispy crust to the gooey cheese and the huge pepperoni was delicious. It was a culinary masterpiece that left our family craving for more. The service was spectacular, the server was very kind, and ran to get the door for me. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, with a tasteful and inviting atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

    BYO pizza 50/50
    Diana C.

    What self respecting Chicagoan doesn't like deep dish? Me. After 10 years of living in this city, I still just don't get it. NY style pizza, on the other hand... I had heard that Dante's makes the best NY style pizza in Chicago, and it definitely didn't disappoint. First of all, the pie is HUGE. I could barely get the box out the door. Secondly, the fact that they let you do 50/50 with toppings is nice. The only complaint I can think of is that we had requested pepperoni on one side, and they gave us pineapple. We ordered from the Chicago Ave location btw. It still tasted great, and my husband happens to love pineapple on pizza so we honestly didn't mind, but it could've been a more serious offense if it was an ingredient we were allergic to or didn't like. We also ordered the wings and they were fantastic. Had a nice kick to them. Would definitely recommend ordering. Despite our best efforts, my husband and I weren't even able to finish half the pizza in one meal. This is probably the right size for 4-5 people or 2 people who don't mind having leftovers for a few days. Definitely give Dante's a try if you like NY pizza!

    Great pizza. Me and my daughter's favorite pizza. Great customer service from the phone calls to the delivery guy even when you go in to pay. The people are nice.

Up until tonight, my experiences had always been positive and the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, this visit was more than disappointing. I ordered a salad I've had at least a dozen times before, accept I added grilled chicken on top. I live for this salad and was just there maybe three weeks ago. Unaware that they have changed their menu, I ordered as usual. The name of the salad has not changed on the menu, but apparently the ingredients had been completely altered. When the dish arrived, to my surprise, it was drastically different and not something I enjoyed at all. I politely informed our server, who was kind and accommodating, and offered to replace the dish. However, it was now 6 p.m. we had tickets to see The Wiz at 7 p.m. and didn't have time to wait for another order, which I also informed her. I asked if the salad could be removed from the bill since it was essentially untouched. The server checked with the owner, who refused to remove the $30 salad or offer any kind of discount. When a restaurant changes a dish but keeps the same name, it creates a reasonable expectation for returning customers. When that expectation isn't met, basic customer service should step in. What makes this even more frustrating is that the restaurant was willing to prepare an entirely new dish, but not willing to remove the uneaten one from the bill. That simply isn't logical. If you're prepared to replace an item, it clearly acknowledges there was an issue, so refusing to comp or adjust the original charge is unreasonable. That decision was extremely disappointing. I, in-turn made the decision to eat only the additional grilled chicken on top, leaving the rest of the salad, paying the full bill and promptly getting out of there so we could be on time for our show. The only positive part of the experience was our server, who handled the situation with professionalism and kindness. Sadly, the new menu leaves much to be desired and this experience has cost Peanut Park my business and my referrals going forward.

Reservations are released 21 days ahead of time, which I personally find impossible to make. Every time I've checked over the last several years there have been no availability. Yesterday I decided to pop on their website again and was delighted to find that they had released same day dinner reservations for patio only dining. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining so I went ahead and booked a table for Friday night. I felt like I won the dinner lottery. Service was wonderful and I didn't mind sitting outside at all next to the road with cars. I actually never stepped foot in the restaurant so cannot comment on what it's like inside. But do not give up that patio dining reservation if it's available. All of our dishes were delicious. I was really impressed by the meatball appetizers, chicken vesuvio (the potatoes are a must get as a side if you skip this dish), and branzino. The meats and sauces were wonderfully balanced and tender. Nothing tasted overly salted. Ironically, the pasta felt less of a star compared to the other dishes. And of course I had to get the gelato, which was so aesthetically presented and the taste just reminded me of an Italian summer vacation.

The calamari was delicious, not too fried and oily but still had so much flavor to it. We also decided to order the peperoni pizza, which is just a magnificent pizza. It was just cooked perfectly with just the right amount of flavor and spice. I ordered the raviolacci toscani, which took a bit of time to come out (but understandable given the amount of people). It was just delicious. The meat filling had such a deep flavor and the sauce wasn't so heavy that I didn't want to finish it. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a good Italian meal with great portions. Reservations might be hard to get so plan ahead.
