“I haven't been to the pizzeria since it was Mazara's so I can't really weigh in on ambiance, other than to say that it's conveniently located and parking isn't bad (for Forest Hills).”

This is how pizza used to be. While the sausage-and-pepper slice had some appealing colors and textures, toppings aren't necessary at Dante's. The plain slice achieved its simple but compelling goals, bursting with tomato taste. The grandma slice, thicker than most, was skillful in its garlic modulation, with the flavor slowly building up after each bite.
Dante's Pizza is clearly a local pizzeria. sparse decoration, the old school orange plastic booths and tables. clearly most of their business is delivery and take-out. the regular cheese slice had a layer of glistening grease on top, so i opted for the spinach mushroom slice instead, extra crispy. the mushrooms were canned (which i secretly like more than fresh) and the toppings were abundant, covering every inch of the slice. aside from a wish for more sauce, i was pretty satisfied with it overall. and they did the extra crispy request perfectly.
my friend got a meatball hero (no cheese), which was good if not generic. he also felt they were a little stingy with the sauce. but otherwise, no complaints about the food.
my only really complaint is that our entire meal was $14. the hero was $7 and my bottle of diet dr. pepper was $2. which made my slice $4-5. yikes.
Yum yum yummy. My sister and I ordered a Medium Margarita Pizza (16 inch, 6 slices $16) and mozzarella sticks (6 sticks, $5) to go and it was delicious! The margarita sauce had a touch of sweetness to it. The mozzarella sticks were standard but in a yummy way. I was worried since when I went in (late, after 9pm), they were mopping the floor and it smelled of cleaning product and just seemed gross that they were mopping while people were cooking. So I'm glad the food turned out fresh tasting and yum.
If you are a small group, the family special is a steal for $25.
The place is very clean, most people come for take out – as did I.
The staff is friendly but I wouldn't say chatty.
We ordered a large pizza pie (1/2 Reg 1/2 Margheritta – how they spell it) for $17.
The plain was good, fresh made and piping hot.
The margheritta was a bit soggy, but still ok.
Always happy to support local restaurants! Can't wait to try all the other pizzas they offer!
it's a small, but clean pizzeria on Metropolitan. it used to be Mazara's (which I had never been to) but there's new ownership – and honestly, it looks nicer than Mazara's did whenever I looked in.
standard pizzeria menu – nothing too fancy. the buffalo chicken slice is good. the sauce/cheese ratio is on point, and the dough is just crisp enough.
only a few booths for seating in here – and yes, they are the old-fashioned neon ones, which I frequently mention in my pizzeria reviews.
a bit odd that there's no menu posted overhead. also, no bathroom.
They say that you gotta Give to Receive, give up something for a better future something. Such is my interpretation.
With a potent line up of gourmet slices sitting behind the pizza glass, at the ready, I quickly kick around the pros and cons of consuming three slices, four is not out of the question either. All the exotic slices are heavy with fresh ingredients, all the regular slices are perfectly balanced in flavor to my liking, with a symphony of sauce, cheese over a thin, crisp, load bearing crust.
What's the association being made to Dantes Pizza you ask?
Few pizza parlors have the–'IT' factor regarding outstandingly delightful gourmet and house slices, it seems both can be good but not great or one is great, the.other–not so great.
Each and every Dantes meal I've Ever had has exceeded the bar set forth upon Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Rego Park, Middle Village.
Decisions are easy when every menu choice has been a winner for me-every bites been thoroughly enjoyed. At Dantes, everything is freshly made from the best quality ingredients, served up hot and fast.
