Dante’s Pizzeria

Have to admit this place has gone downhill… The food sucks anymore. The food used to be awesome and gave me a little taste of home in Philly when Sal was there but not so good anymore… I ordered takeout tonight fore me and my family– A couple italian subs, some wings, and cheese fries. well most of the food went in the trash can where it belongs. The sub rolls seemed like they were stale and they fell apart when you tried to eat it (I did eat the meat off the toll and wasn’t to impressed with that either). Mild chicken wings were dry and overcooked and my 8 year old son loves garlic bread but wouldn’t eat theirs. Waste of Money and will not order again…

Great pizza and staff, large party room for reservations. The pizza is fresh and the best one is Mediterranean

Great food! Buffet has a very good selection and the price is right. Large side room that’s perfect for meetings or a party. They are always super nice.

We are here on business and decided to try dantes, because they had a very extensive menu, we figured they were good. We had their family deal package with consist of 1 large pizza, wings, and 2 subs! The pizza was ehhh, it really had no flavor, but was fairly salty. the cheese was not stringy like regular pizzas it was hard, looked old or as if the pizza was cold. The wings were ok, a bit over cooked and didn’t have much sauce. The subs were great! We had Philly cheesesteak and tuna! good subs, worth the money. Wings could have been a little better, pass on the pizza.

Wow! That sums up my first experience. Awesome food. Great service. And they have beer to go. Perfect pregame spot to be honest. Lots of choices to choose which want me to come back and try more.
I ordered the xtra crispy Italian Stromboli and had Garlic Parmesan Wings. The Stromboli was cooked perfect and I have leftovers for tomorrow’s hangover. The wings crispness was unmatched and tasted great.
Definitely recommend Dantes for a good night out

It’s a pretty nice Italian restaurant. They have a nice little selection of craft beers which you can make a mix and match six pack to leave with. The fried calamari and garlic knots were really good, and the spaghetti with meatball entrée was huge. Their pizzas are really large and tasty as well. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Here for a month and I do like the pizza and the calzones are very good. One of
The better pizza places around. The prices are a little high. The dining area is carpeted and looks terrible. I don’t like it at all the sign looks cheap outside this place needs a make over.

We ordered a cheese pizza. There wasn’t enough cheese on it to even cover the sauce. That was after we had ordered a pepperoni pizza that was so loaded with grease it was flowing off the pizza onto the pan.

We have just moved to colonial heights and tried several different pizza places! Dante’s out favorite by far. We have only gotten take out but the staff answering phones is always pleasant and the pizza is fantastic! The wings are good too!

They have potential. I guess it depends on whos working. Ive heard stories but I guess I just went on a bad day?

This place is awful, it’s not a good Italian restaurant, we ordered garlic knots they were ice cold in center and chewy, hubby ordered pizza it was dry, I ordered pizzone
It was hard and tasteless on outside, the atmosphere was brightly lit, too bright !! décor was blah I should’ve just eaten at cicis it was just that awful, plus it was a but high priced for the quality or lack there of I should say. I should’ve known walking in it was gonna be bad, when you want authentic Italian food it shouldn’t be prepared by a Hispanic.

Had lunch here from a buffet that was offered as part of a group meeting, so I got to taste quite a few things.
I wasn’t expecting too much from this place, b/​c I don’t expect much from Colonial Heights in general (sorry!), but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good, and I will definitely be back to eat.
I tried a couple slices from a square pizza that might have been their version of thin-​crust, that had pesto, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. It was fabulous. Didn’t get to try the pepperoni. The salad bar was average (tuna, ham, sliced tomatoes, etc), but all the items were really fresh. Crisp, dry lettuce makes me a happy girl. They had a couple different pasta options, and I wanted to try them all, but instead of being a glutton I went for a little bit of the rigatoni in vodka sauce. Great choice.
I’m not sure if this place offers a lunch buffet or if you have to order off a menu, but either way. it was solid choice for a good, local pizza joint. Anybody looking for wood-​fired, gourmet pizza might be a little disappointed, but if you’re just looking to patronize anyone other than Domino’s or Pizza Hut then you will probably be a happy camper.

Same as a dozen other low price Italian places within ten miles of here.
We have local friends that love this place, but I don’t get it. The pizzas, sandwiches, and pastas are acceptable, but not remarkable. I found it a bit pricey for what we got.
If you go, I don’t think you will have a bad experience. Mine just wasn’t memorable for any particular reason, good or bad.

I won’t RAVE about this place… cuz their food is EHHH, ok. However, they got 4 our of 5 stars because their food is edible (some of the yummier pizza I’ve had in the area) AND their service is great.
Last time I ordered from them, I had to call three times before the order was placed. The first time, I got cut off, the second time I was pretty sure the price had gotten mixed up (and it had) so I called back to straighten things out. When the food got to me (extremely quick) they threw in half an order of garlic knots to make up for the issues.

If you want a great sized Philly cheesesteak, or a giant calzone filled with bubbly goodness, this is IT. Everyone is so friendly here, and the new location is very clean and actually has air conditioning (as opposed to the former location!)

Italian food is hard to come by in Hawaii, but Dante’s is pretty Damn good.
On top of the great food, the lunch buffet gets my seal of approval and I don’t eat buffets, and the service is second to none.
They’ll tell you the wings are the best… they’re not, but the pizza is good.
When you’re in Colonial Heights, to say your options are limited is putting it nicely, but Dante’s gets it right!

Great pizza and the servings are huge.

The best Italian Restaurant in Colonial Heights. Food has always been extremely good and service is fast and friendly. The wait for delivery can be up to an hour, but that is only because of the success of the business. If you want it in about 15 minutes either eat in or pick up. The Original South Philly sub is straight out of Philly. Forget the melted cheese, they put cheese wiz on it, like the people in Philly do. Maybe that is because the owner moved back from Philly.

Though, I cannot exactly eat here since I am gluten free. The owner/​manager made sure to be as accommodating as possible and I thoroughly appreciated it. He was able to make me gluten free chicken alfredo and though, it was not my favorite, I was so thankful he was able to provide me with such a meal. It is a pizza joint and the pizza looks amazing and I know it has to be great! So I give them 5 stars for amazing smelling pizza and their wonderful customer service. Ill try a grilled chicken salad next time ;0).

Wow! A success story! They have moved into a new building and have lots of seating. I have been 4 times (eat in) and loved every visit. Good staff and good food. Steak sub and fries is still my take out once a week.
Listen to the staff some they are actually having fun.
