They have pizza available in vegan and meat options. They are definitely a whiskey bar, not a cocktail bar. Loved the ambiance, vibe, and service. Reasonable prices.

First time here and it was great. The service was great (thank you Lucy!) and the vibe was awesome. I got a 20” pizza and mozzarella sticks it was very yummy. Didn’t know there was a pool table here! Will be back:)

We’ve eaten here for their vegan pizza menu, as well as their special vegan menu days. The most recent was great with subs and wraps. The regular pizza is huge if you get the large size. 2 pizzas easily fed four adults and two kids. Highly recommend their vegan options!

I'm looking forward to coming back for comedy or trivia night. I enjoy the vibes of the bar. I got an IPA on draft and I asked about another beer I was curious about and the bartender offered me a sample which I really appreciate. The pizza slices are big, I tried the sausage slice and it was flavorful. Hopefully next time I will try a pizza special slice. The combination they had today was not appealing to me. I'm not a fan of the bathrooms being dirty but it is what it is. The margarita is strong and delicious.

Pizza never ceases to disappoint but highly recommend NEVER ORDERING DELIVERY FROM CHOWNOW! Pizza took almost 2 hours to be delivered and support was terrible and the restaurant also didn’t answer the phone to ask the status of my order so subtracted a star for all of that but pizza was still delicious!

Dante's Tavern leaves a lot to be desired. The pizza is average at best—nothing memorable or exciting. Service is practically nonexistent; it feels like you're on your own with no real attention from the staff. The atmosphere has a grungy vibe, which I’m sure is intentional, but it just doesn't appeal to me. If you're into that kind of dive bar setting, it might work for you, but overall, it doesn't provide the kind of experience I'm looking for.

Super light handed with the toppings. I ordered 4 extra toppings but barely got coverage of 1 topping.

In a city of bougie, hard to get a table pizza spots — Dante’s reigns supreme. This spot is awesome to grab a few beers, eat some great pizza, and chill with some awesome bartenders (shout out Victor!). We love coming in here for a few slices every weekend.

The art is cool, the pizza is great, the billiards table isn't tooooo busy. Nice neighborhood spot!
