The service is always friendly and the food is just like you remember from when you were a kid... or at least a much younger adult. It's pretty good! My wife and I decided to order "The Hunk" one visit and we've never gone back to anything else. Highly recommended. Sure, the restaurant is a little bit like stepping into a time capsule, but I will say that the dining area does seem clean, just dated. I can't eat the decorations, so I don't really care. Speaking of the dining area, avoid sitting anywhere near the door during the winter -- you'll be hit with an arctic blast every time someone enters or leaves! A new owner took over what seems like a couple of years ago, and I was a little worried that they would "improve" it right into the ground. Fortunately, they seem to get it -- and actually care. Very few customer-facing elements have changed except the prices (like nearly every other restaurant). So kudos to them for not fixing what wasn't broken. Pantera's has unfortunately become a bit of a victim of its own success. Two out of the last three times we've visited, we've left after being informed that the kitchen is running more than an hour behind. And seating is often difficult to come by during the dinner rush. This is probably a a cyclical issue, as it might become a case of "nobody goes there anymore because it's so crowded." But in the meantime, I'm happy to see this restaurant so deservedly successful. It's just no fun having to walk out hungry because they're so busy. read more

The pizza is great, the service is always very good and it is well priced. I wish they delivered only because I'm Lazy...I'd order more often, lol! Very family friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Some of the best pizza around, hands down. You can get pizza dine-in, carry out, or heat at home. The service is always excellent despite them always being packed! The ambiance is classic pizza joint and it is perfect. The pizza is hot, tasty and ingredients are fresh and quality. Pizza crust is that perfect pizza crust you remember as a kid in the 90s! read more

This place is my local favorite! The original thick crust is my go to! The sauce is not to sweet, which is a big win for me- they use real mozzarella- versus the other STL stuff that my palate is just not that into. The fresh ingredients that are loaded into the wheat crust (sorry to you gluten free people) with that chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor really balances the topping and fresh tomato's and cheese all piled high. Just the right amount of everything and a fun place to eat that is family friendly. We have been grabbing them to go lately too- and it tasted just as good at home in my PJs on the couch watching some streaming show with a nice glass of Pino! Since they are just a community staple- I would be shocked if you are local and have not been here and had the pizza- but if you are visiting this needs to be your pizza place of choice! This is a great local business that has great food, wonderful staff and and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Pantera's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Super good food and amazing The service is great but some people leave their cups everywhere causing me to walk by on knocking over The music and backround is very cool or atleast i thought it used to be its reminds me of a olive garden i feel like it used to look like a old diner but now is just plain. Overall i recomend this restaurant read more

If you like extra bready pizza, this is your place. We might give it one more try with the thin crust, but we didn't have a choice with the personal size pizzas. They are also stingy with the toppings. Delivery, so I can't address ambiance or service, and we will give it one more try, but so far, it's not my cuppa tea (or slice-a pizza). read more

This is how my pie was delivered and to top it off II called to explain this to the establishment and I was left on hold for 15 min. I will not be buying from here anymore, I'm going to Nancy's!!! read more

Pantera's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - O'Fallon, Missouri

Great pizza and great service every time we come here. I really like the atmosphere, very comfortable and friendly, with just a touch of retro (arcade games, framed pictures of the old Pantera Pizza ads). The only issue here is that it's so great & popular, sometimes every table is filled (which is a great issue to have). Thank you Pantera's Pizza! read more

Great pizza and wings. Kind and professional team. Fast and efficient and accommodating!

Pantera's is a true hometown favorite that's been thriving for decades. The management team cares about its customers and puts quality and service at the forefront every time. It's home of "the Hunk" and dozens of other fantastic menu options (including a full lunch buffet, sandwiches like the premo, and delicious thick, thin, and gluten-free pizzas). You can count on a fantastic meal with every visit -- this local icon has more than earned its reputation as one of the best in town! read more

The food was delicious as always! One of my favorite pizza places. First time ordering delivery through Yelp though and will never do that again. The delivery driver text me a very rude message complaining that she had to drive too far for my order and doesn't get paid enough. I believe in tipping well and don't live that far but lesson learned! read more

Stopped in based off of the high reviews and now I live super close so decided to give them a try. You come in, order at the back and grab a seat wherever. As far as the inside goes, feels a little rundown and funky/dirty but is a super casual place. They offer a buffet thats an awesome deal, about $10 for lunch and has tons of pizza and all of the apps + salad bar. We opted for a large pan "pig" pizza- ham, cheddar, bacon and mozzarella with the app sampler- t-ravs, mozzarella sticks, and wings. App sampler was super standard, nothing exceptional but nothing bad. The food comes out quick here so was definitely impressed by that! The pizza followed pretty quick after the app and was decent. I can't say it was crazy amazing or anything though. Love that this is a family business, but unfortunately I didn't feel like it was anything special. I would give this place a 3 star based on food but the inside was so funky that next time if I come I will 100% get take out. Food Value- 7/10 Food Taste- 5/10 Ambiance/Inside - 2/10 Service- Not totally applicable since its not table service but food comes out super quick 10/10 read more

Pizza was delicious and just want we were looking for. The dough had had a nice flavor and the topping were consistent even the pepperonchini I asked for. We drove St Charles to try it and it was great! read more

We had a big family birthday party. It was super to have our own pizzas that were very good. Gluten free is a huge plus. The general manager got in there and worked just as the employees. It had been a while since I was here. It will not be so long next time. read more

This place has great pizza. The pies are just different in a sea of chain pizza. It also brings back my childhood. I wish there were a couple more Pantera pizza places. One day this place will be gone and so will this amazing pizza, enjoy it now. read more

I've been a regular at Pantera's for years and I can safely say that we order the hunk with every visit and half the time it's correct. Tonight was no exception. We ordered through door dash for delivery and it was the wrong crust, there was way too much cheese (so much it was overflowing the hand tossed crust) and there was a long blonde hair in the personal pan pizza. When the order is correct, it's great but tonight has made me and the kids take this one off the list for a while. UPDATE: the ordering on Door Dash is very confusing then. I chose a build your own hunk and there were choices on crust. My two cents here is that if I'm choosing the hunk, that's my crust choice. Or maybe use Hunk as a choice because "Pan" usually indicates a thick crust. I truly thought I was ordering correctly. Thank you for your response. read more

Only pizza place in O'Fallon worth your time and money. GREAT pizza, excellent old-school salad bar, and a vibey, retro atmosphere that can't be beat. The customer service is bar-none. Won't trust my taste buds to any other pizza. Pantera's is it. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how good this pizza is!! We got the original crust chicken bacon ranch - only suggestion is that it needs a little something extra. Perhaps green onions, jalapeño peppers or tomatoes. Excellent flavor, texture, and generous toppings though! We will definitely be back. read more

We usually go to the Pantera's in Hazelwood but they weee closed yesterday. So my husband drove from Maryland Heights to this location in O'Fallon. When he got home open up the box the pizza was burnt to the crisp! Very disappointed not only the pizza but the cheese sticks also very disappointed. Should had took a picture. read more

This store is a staple and perfect ever single time! Staff is friendly .. Pizza has been the same since I went in 1980!

This Pantera's Pizza in O'Fallon has been on my radar for a while. I haven't eaten Pantera's since the 1980s and have fond childhood memories of it. I stopped in on a weeknight and ordered toasted ravioli and the 6" original thick crust with pepperoni. The place was very clean and the food came out promptly. The salad bar was open but it looked as if they were following proper covid protocols. The toasted ravioli was your basic frozen variety. The marinara sauce that came with it had that acidic taste. It was probably just sauce out of a #10 can. When they dropped off the pizza I chuckled for a moment because it looked like my 1980s Book It! Prize for being a good reader this month!! I digress...The crust was thick and had some crispness but little flavor. The sauce was most likely the same as what I received with the toasted ravioli. The cheese was your basic chewy mozzarella and the 4 pepperoni were lonely but tasted good. This wasn't necessarily bad but it wasn't good either. Very dull. It was a nice trip to the 1980s. There was even Flashdance music playing overhead. I think I've moved on though. read more

I personally love this pizza place Consistent service and food quality. Highly recommend read more

A true O'Fallon staple. It is our go to pizza spot. Pizza is great and service is fast.

This is a "staple" for Ofallon,Mo and it's one of the best Pizzas you'll ever try! The place has a fun comfortable vibe with a small town feel but big city taste. The owner Al, cares not only about the staff and customers but you can tell he is active in his community and just an all around good person. The pizza is unique and the best dough I've ever had on a pizza. If you like meat definitely get the "Big Hunk" and if not their is so many other choices. The breadsticks are light and delicious and you can't just eat one ! Absolutely recommend checking this place out! It's a must see in the big city of O'fallon, Mo. read more

The Original crust combo is my goto pizza. I love it. Food quality is always the best never had a bad Pizza. Unfortunately the service can be slow at times so don't ever order takeout in a time crunch but, know the pizza is worth the slow service even if you wait 30 minutes extra. read more

I don't know how anyone can give this place anything less than 5 stars! They have been my favorite pizza place for years. Nothing can match how delicious it is. I've never once had a bad experience with the food, the service, or anything else. My only issue is that it is so far from my home. I forgot to take pictures because It's just too damn good. I typically take my pizza to go, but dining in is great too! read more

Building is deceiving to the eye it looks small but is bigger in the inside, could use some updating. Service was good, the pizza and wings were exceptional. I can say this pizza is one of the only pizzas you have to treat with care. read more

This and a handful of other locations are what's left of a pizza chain that was all over the St. Louis area in the '80s. It'a been decades since I visited Pantera's so I thought the lunch buffet would be a good way to reacquaint myself. For full disclosure: I entered with the memory of Pantera's not being anything special. Pros: The weekday lunch buffet is a fantastic value at $10.99-tax and soft drink included. Along with more than a half dozen pizzas the buffet included a salad bar and a selection of sides like buffalo wings, fries, onion rings, mac and cheese and more (the cooked potato slices seemed odd for a pizza side). However, apply the "you get what you pay for" rule. Despite the variety nothing was outstanding. I enjoyed the buffalo wings the most. They had a bit of kick but weren't eye melting. Veggies might be chopped daily, as the website says, but mundane iceberg lettuce, carrots and red onions still had the from-the-bag appeal at the salad bar. Pizzas were the chewiest I've ever had--my jaws got a workout--but were otherwise unremarkable. I remember the dough as always chewy but not the mozzarella. It was, perhaps, because it had cooled. So, overall, Pantera's offers good value for the buffet. But, it wouldn't list in my Top 5 local, dine-in pizza places. Buffet not available weekends. Staff was friendly. read more

Pizza was pretty good, but almost $50 for one person to eat makes it a little painful.

Pantera's has been a long running tradition for my family since the old North County location. They have great deep-dish pies with savory sauce and gooey cheese. Their salads are amazing and I appreciate how long they've been in business. read more

Disappointed with the quality of the pizza, served lukewarm at best usually piping hot, but not this time, been going to this Pantera's for quite a few years. The last time we went was in September 2022 and the pizza was great. This time ordered The Hunk Combo like we usually do and it didn't look the same nor taste the same overloaded on black olives and onions and hardly any meat, not sure if it is under new ownership but we were truly disappointed this time. read more

We have been going to Pantera's for 20 plus years. Love that we can get thick, thin, or medium crust with any options. We love the salad bar and the weekday lunch buffet as well. Now that AL, the original owner of Pantera's Ofallon is retired, we were glad to meet and welcome the new owner Travis who is equally as friendly. Great pizza, appetizers, and love their roast beef sandwiches as well. Love supporting a home town place that supports our community right back! read more
