    Good food for cheap! The workers are nice and friendly. Very nice friendly atmosphere. Generous portions too. A large slice of pizza and a large drink, under $10

    Best slice of pizza I have had in Texas thus far. Really good. Crust was just crispy enough and wasn't super floppy

    Dante's Pizza and Garlic Bread Goodness

    We live in small town Coleman Tx. and when we need to take a trip to Abilene Tx. we NEVER leave without an Extra LARGE Supreme Pizza and DON'T miss out on their Awesome Garlic Bread ‼

    Chicken Murphy with jalapeños. Chicken Alfredo in back

    3.5 on my first visit. I've heard great things about Dante's but never been here. Pizza looked really good. I'm a pasta head, so I got my usual chicken murphy. I love a spicy, creamy, jalapeño filled pasta dish. It was good but not up to par with my favorite right down the street. If ever in the mall again, I'll try the pizza. That's what everyone raves about. If your out browsing the mall, a good place for lunch.

    So I was very disappointed that this business which promotes itself on YELP and advertises this coupon WOULD NOT honor their own coupon.

    So I was very disappointed that this business which promotes itself on YELP and advertises this coupon WOULD NOT honor their own coupon on a $53 order last night. They argued that it was for take out only. Well I do not see that anywhere on the coupon. Poor business practice, and frankly FALSE advertising.

    Cheesy heaven

    Well, it is time to reveal my secret to my Yelp people. I have a problem. Well, more of an addiction. This addiction is to Dante's pizza. That's right I said it. I would seriously cry more than once if this place ever closes. I grew up in Abilene and it would be such a treat to get a cheese slice if while at the mall shopping with my mom. This was the gateway to my addiction. Over the years my weakness for Dante's grew larger than I ever thought if could. I now live two and a half hours away from Dante's, yes that is the exact time between my house in Lubbock and the men's Dillard's parking lot I use to get into the mall to get to Dante's. I have family in Abilene still. They all know and almost make fun of me because the first thing I do once I am in Abilene is have Dante's. I sometimes even pick it up on the way in, or have my mother-in-law, sister-in-law or brother order it to the house. That is another great thing. If you give them your phone number that you used last time to order delivery they have your previous order saved. What's my order? An extra large cheese pizza with a side of ranch, marinara and 1/2 dozen bread sticks. I get this whether I am alone or with four other people. I am very protective of my order and will order way too much pizza for a group just to make sure I get my fill. Their leftover pizza cold is amazing, it also reheats perfectly in a toaster oven. I have even been known to order a pizza extra just to put it in plastic bags on ice, be taken to Lubbock, put in my freezer and enjoyed on a later date. Let's get to why it is so good! The pizza is perfectly thin and crispy. The slices are as big as my face. The sauce they use is like no other sauce I have ever tasted. It has the perfect amount of special seasoning and herbs in it that keeps my begging for more. The garlic rolls are always soft, dusted with parmesan, and with flakes of fresh parsley. The pasta dishes are still bubbling when they bring them to the table and are swimming in a heavenly mixture of sauce and cheese. The calzones come in a generous portion and browned crispy to perfection and come with extra marinara on the side for dipping. The salads are always fresh and they even have seasonal fruit bowls.I know this all sounds crazy. I tell people about my addiction and their response is: "You mean that Pizza place in the mall? I have never tried it." People over look Dante's because they think, "how good could a mall pizza place really be?". They are wrong for this and it is kind of a life goal of mine to let Abilene folks know it is special. I would never order any other pizza if I lived there. I would have a weekly Dantes night where I would invite my friends over and share the goodness. Lastly, the friendly service. The same 5 or 6 guys run this place and are always there. I think they are finally started to recognize me, only because every time I am in line I stand there with a goofy smile across my face and proceed to tell them I came all the way from Lubbock for this meal. They always reciprocate the smile and make sure to cut me a slightly larger than normal slice. They are running a beautiful business that I obviously care deeply about. Please go and give them a big smile and try their pizza, for me, the addict.

    18 in pizza. Big.

    Oh yeah!!! It's a cold day and there is nothing in my fridge so I decided to order pizza. I will never order pizza hut or the other usuals ever again. I have found Dante's. I ordered the family special: 1 18in half cheese half chicken pizza, bread sticks, spinach lasagna, coke, and 2 pieces of cheesecake. It was like Christmas morning when I opened the pizza box. Wide eyes and a drooling mouth. The pizza was huge! Everything tasted great. I was so surprised. I'm use to the Abilene let down aka the mediocrity of food here. Everything tasted great but the cheesecake was not so great. Even the service was nice. From the guy taking my order on the phone to the delivery guy, they were friendly and timely. Food arrived hot at my door when they said it would. Looking forward to trying everything, yes everything, else on the menu.

    Great pizza and boneless buffalo wings. A bit pricey but worth it. The family was very satisfied with everything.

    Hidden Gem Just Off the Interstate…read more If you ever find yourself near Beneventi's Italian Restaurant, do yourself a favor and stop in. My husband and I stumbled upon this place while traveling, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history in the air. Antique items are displayed throughout, and as you enjoy authentic Italian recipes passed down for generations, you're surrounded by photos of those very generations who built this restaurant's legacy. It's a place that feels both warm and welcoming, like stepping into someone's home. I ordered the Trio, which included lasagna that was absolutely phenomenal--rich, flavorful, and clearly made using the family's secret recipe. My husband went for a pizza, made in-house with the freshest ingredients. Everything came out piping hot, and the flavors were out of this world. The service was excellent, and the manager was kind enough to give us a tour of the property. We were blown away by how beautiful it is, especially the outdoor stage--this would be an amazing wedding venue! And whatever you do, don't leave without trying their bread pudding. Trust me. I took some to-go and didn't regret it! P.S. Jan, when I said I'd wait until I got home, I lied. I ate it in the car.

Well the plate came out looking like a pool of alfredo....the chicken had obviously been pre-made and microwaved, it was chewing and rubbery. It had littke to no flavor....I sadly and I mean sadly...had to add salt and pepper. I couldn't even finish it. I did get a cannoli to go. It was decent. The filling was not the right consistency but it tasted fairly good. The table next to me, I heard them order chicken parm as well and when their order came out, she ordered pink sauce and i heard her complaining about the pool of pink sauce that just over ran her plate as well. Last but not least....it is about 82 degrees if not hotter in there. You can not cool down after coming in from the heat. Its awful.
