Dante's Pizzeria

Hate to write this because I love to support local, and this is the closest pizza to my apartment. I stopped in to takeout a slice while on a walk with my dog. Upon entering the empty restaurant, no greeting, the man at the counter didn’t even look up. The other man who took my order and put my take out bag through the window didn’t even bother to look at me or reply to me both times I told him thank you. I walked out stunned tbh. Worst customer service I’ve had since moving to Chicago. Had a bad taste in my mouth before even seeing the slice. Pizza was average.

I kept seeing and passing by Dante’s but I can’t eat dairy so I never tried it and some dairy free pizzas are just sad. NOT DANTE’S! My friend said they tried the vegan pizza and told me how delicious it was, so I had to try it finally! I ordered the vegan build your own pizza and I’m now Dante’s new biggest fan!! This pizza is HUGE and OMG SO GOOD! I ordered it for pick up but they are BYOB so I’ll definitely be coming back MANY MANY times! 1000% check this place out!!

I ordered a cheese pizza slice and it was huge! Thin crust baked nicely, excellent full of flavor, and nice amount of cheese. Yummy. Warning, if you want crisp, this isn't crisp, more like NY style which I like! The kitchen staff are fast in preparing the pizza. I wanted to try a vegetarian/vegan pizza that had toppings but unfortunately the only choice was cheese pizza. I couldn't order the vegan slice pizza with toppings due to my allergy. I wanted to order one more food and didn't want a huge pizza instead try to order a vegan sandwich so I asked about a specific ingredient in the vegan meat due to my allergy. Staff did not know and manager response repeatedly "I don't know." I was taken aback that she wouldn't try figure out or call the owner or the guy that actually made the vegan beef. She said she didn't have contact numbers and didn't know and couldn't find out. As a manager, that was not how one answer the customer. From my experience, vegan restaurants will find the answer for their customers. The cashier was apologetic and tried to be helpful. The interior decor reflect the name opposite of exterior. It is unique and easily located on a corner. The space is not large. It is best for order to go especially for large group/family. There are a few high chairs seating for one or two people. Also four tables for 2 people. Parking on the street is available.
