  Inconsistent in my experience and other than the guy who appears to own it, everyone else seems to pretty much be to cool to care.  I have been here about 4 times and 3 out of 4 I had to bring the pizza slice back cause the it was burnt and every time they give me the new one it is under cooked on the bottom and the cheese is bubbling hot...this tells me they keep the ovens too hot.  I am over this place.

  We were visiting relatives back home this past week and my mother in law put together a shindig here for the family so as to alleviate 800 stops throughout Northwest Indiana and Chicago. We had the back room and quite a large spread. Numerous different pizzas, Caesar salad, regular salad, cheese quesadillas, fried green beans, chicken wings, fried zucchini- the works. I'm not familiar with their menu, but it looked as though we had every appetizer they made.
  
  I've recently gone meatless, and never realized till doing so the lack of options for us herbivores. Sure they had a veggie pizza, which was decent- and they had salad, but the salad was the size of a dinner plate for 20 people. It was mostly gone by the time I got up there and everything else was fried. I realize this could be based upon what was ordered and no fault of Dante's, but everything was pretty generic. I couldn't tell a difference between their fried green beans and the ones found in Target's freezer section.
  
  I'm going to assume with a name like "House of Pizza" that pizza is their forte. It was good, but you come to expect a level of fabulousness from Chicago pizza. And yes, in this case NW Indiana does count as Chicago pizza. You wouldn't realize it until you moved to another state, however.

  WHOA?! I thought that I wrote a review for this place already!! Well, I absolutely looooove their pizza and their wings.  The pizza is burnt and crisp in terms of crust and just perfect up top.  The wings are large with very good sauce on them.  Take this as a warning, though, I have had their Chicken Saltimbocca, and I wish that I had just stuck with the pizza.  It was absolutely disgusting.  It was a bit later in the evening, but man, that was gross.  I do not know how this place stays open because I have gone a number of time and they are always empty.  I, nonetheless, am happy they are in business as I love their pizza.  Support this great place!

  this place has housed alot of different places.....so hope they make it here.....Dantes pizza is from the old Zuni's in Highland ( also in Pine Island and Dyer ) and originally House of Pizza in Hammond.....
  the bar area here is super small and hidden away from the dining room.....so this is more a family type pizza place...
  the old Zuni's in Highland was a very cool and fun spot....and im glad thier pizza is now closer to me again.....
  excellent thin crust...almost cracker type.... but still with a good chewiness to it.....
  the pepperonni cooked on top of the pie..... yah i have had other places hide the pepp UNDER the cheese.....wtf is with that?  i want my pepperoni crispy and with the little puddles of grease :-)  my fave thin crust is pepperoni and pineapple. though they dont list it on the menu they DO have it and will make it.....
  Dante's has one of the best thin crust pizzas around......
  i havent tried any of thier other dishes yet.....and i really dont want too.....
  its thier pizza i crave.....
  they also have a lunch buffet....
  but like i said..... for the best thin crust around..... its hard to top this place....i just wish they delivered to my area

  Good pizza, great service and very tasty calamari. The family loves going there and their home delivery is usually zippy. It's nice having a tasty local pizzeria in the neighborhood.

  Dante's has a pretty nice dining room and bar.  They offer a buffet lunch for $8 and some of the food is a little odd (cooked veg, chicken, stew) but the pizza is fresh and hot and the salad is good.  There is an assortment of desserts - cake, pies, cookies - kind of like a church pot luck.
  
  Dante's has some excellent salads. My friends and I especially enjoyed the walnut pear salad.  
  
  I have to admit that their pizza is some of the best I've had.  They have a full bar and some decent, cheap wines.
