Dante’s House of Pizza

I grew up going to Zuni’s in Schererville to get their pizza after sporting events so it has a nostalgia to it. Dante’s is run by the same family and when I was driving past the other day, I had to order some pizza. The pizza was just how I remembered it. The crust is thin and very crispy. You get a nice crunch when you bite into it, but its not as thin as a cracker; you get an ample amount of foundation. The sauce is nice and light in the amount they use and the flavor (as in it’s not over-​powered with seasonings). The sauce really allows the toppings to shine for the pizza. Sausage is chunky and arranged uniformly across the pizza. It has a unique seasoning that is memorably satisfying to Dante’s. Pepperoni has a great flavor and dispersed equally across the pizza as well. I really love how the cheese is cooked. It is not overly browned, but cooked evenly from the top through to the meats. You don’t get a crispy top layer and under-​cooked underneath. With all the ingredients and cheese, this pizza has a lot of texture. It’s not flat pizza. I really enjoy that I can get different bites to really taste the flavors of the sauce, sausage, pepperoni, and cheese. Dante’s has pretty awesome lunch and daily specials as well, so check them out!

Very nice inside-​we were there on Mothers Day and the place was not too crowded. Our waitress was great-​on top of everything. The pizza was ok-​a little too greasy but hey, it was ok. My dad had a calzone-​he said it was the best he has ever had. My son had Mac and cheese and it looked awesome-​huge portion for kids meal. The price was good and overall we had a nice Mothers Day there.

We love the House of Pizza pizza. They have wonderful coffee, great soups, chicken. Everything we’ve ordered has been good. And they’re very accommodating with my food allergies, too. There are daily specials, too

Went there the other night… Awesome meaty wings and great pizza! The server we had was Tricia and she was so nice and attentive! Love the new look too!

Their menu is fantastic, truly something for everyone’s taste. We had my mother’s 70^th birthday here a few years back, and the staff was accommodating and friendly. I recommend booking their party room for large gatherings and parties. We go here a lot and are always impressed by the quality.

We had this delivered last night, and I really was into the pizza.
The crust was thin, the sauce was amazing, and the toppings were just right. No complaints!
The wings are fat. Biggest, meatiest wings I’ve ever seen. I wish they didn’t pack the celery and ranch in the hot box, but I’m not that bothered by it. The ranch was a little runny from the heat, so I just used some of what I had.
Now, the only downfall was the delivery driver. Pulled in, and it was pissing rain. We were outside moving cars, etc, and he rolled down his window expect us to walk in the downpour to go collect the pizza, instead of him walking it to the front door, where someone was waiting for him. It was awkward, but whatever. It was still good pizza, so I’m not too bothered by it.

I’ve been here several times in the last two months, eat in and ordered out. Pizza is just okay, thin crust at times was soggy. Don’t like the wings, twice I’ve gotten them burned, both times carried out. I probably should have checked them before I left. I’ve only had sandwiches and other dishes delivered to work as a bulk order and really not impressed enough to remeber the names. Today I’m here for the buffet, mac n cheese, walleye pike fried (light, not bad), salad, cream of potato soup (actually very good. Big pieces of potatoes n you can add bacon, onion and cheese), sausage, cheese and pepperoni pizzas. Desserts are brownies, thawed out mini eclairs, various cookies and brownies and lemon squares. The set up feels like they just decided to have a
buffet, crowded not very organized. Many dishes and spoons were dirty (food stuck on them) we had to keep asking for more. The waitresses were friendly and helpful, even the hostess bused the tables. My three kids loved it but they aren’t picky about their pizza and they have no problem asking for clean dishes.
$ 8.95 for all you can eat single topping thin crust pizza and whatever plus dessert and drinks I guess isn’t too bad?

Have gotten pizza in the past, good pizza. Recently had the pasta bar with friends it was excellent! Hot very tasty and a great value for what you got! Highly recommend the pasta bar!

We ordered 4 large pizzas and 60 wings last Sunday for our son’s 10^th birthday party. We picked the food at from the restaurant and didn’t realize until we arrived home that the store forgot to give us the Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing we ordered, for the wings. With a house full of guests ready to eat, we were no doubt at DEFCON 1. I didn’t want to leave the house and head back toward the restaurant, only to return to 4 large pizzas that would need to be reheated. As a result, I called Dante’s and informed them of the dilemma. The young lady who answered the phone put me on hold so she could find out how long it might take for a delivery driver to bring the dressing to my house. When she came back on the line she told me that she told me that it would be approximately 20 to 30 minutes, door to door. I informed her that 20 minutes was far to much time to make my guest to have to wait to crack into the wings. The hostess put me on hold and got me the manager, LeeAnne. LeeAnne told told me that she would personally deliver the dressing to my home. 10 minutes later, LeeAnne was at my door with the dressing. Listen up people, THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thanks again LeeAnne, you saved the day.

I had the southwest chicken wrap and it was delicious. My friend ordered the BLT and also enjoyed it. However, neither of us felt very well afterwards. I think the ranch sauce on my wrap had gone bad — it was making me sick. I won’t be going back.

Not the best pizza around, unless you like grease dripping off your pizza. Poor customer service.

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.

Great pizza! Get the coupon from their website.

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!

Just had our daughter’s Baptism lunch here. Fantastic food, fantastic staff!!! Thanks so much. Definitely will plan another party here!

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.

I love this place and cannot wait to go again! The pizza was really good!

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.
