Master Critic Review
Dante's Tavern
8.0
Dante’s Tavern is a dark, music-heavy bar where jumbo New York-style slices and whole pies run late into the night alongside a strong draft list. It’s the kind of spot where you can slide into a booth, split a big pie, and linger over drinks while the neighborhood winds down.
Must-Try Dishes:
Inferno Jalapeño and Pepperoni Slice, Minos Sausage and Pepper Pie, Classic Cheese Jumbo Slice

Dress code: Casual barwear — jeans, tees, and hoodies are totally fine.
Noise level: Loud — music-forward atmosphere where conversation may require raising your voice.
Weekend wait: Usually little to no formal wait for bar or booth seating, but tables can fill up after midnight.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? If your idea of a date is casual, loud, and slice-and-beer-focused, yes. It’s not ideal for quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — this is a walk-in bar. Booths and tables are first-come, first-served.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really — it’s a bar-forward environment and best suited for adults, especially later at night.
Best For
Better for: Late-night jumbo slices with a fun, music-driven bar vibe.
Skip if: You want quiet dining, gluten-free pizza, or a family-oriented restaurant.
