Haven't been in almost a year. The cheese on the pizza seemed different. Didn't look or taste like fresh mozzarella. Also the salad was ice cold and the dressing is not put on any more.The romaine is obviously chopped ahead of time and put in the refrigerator. Not my favorite any longer. read more

Delicious meals and an awesome vibe! Highly recommend it -- perfect place for a family outing.

Went here for a quick pizza and salad and it was as advertised. We split a Funghi pizza and salad. I would say it is on w of the best pizzas we have had and we love our pizza. This is great for takeout or a very simple and casual dine-in. read more

Excellent excellent! Only sell pies no slices. I order a sausage and pepperoni pie and decided I'd have a slice or two and drop the rest at home...let's just say the pie disappeared and it was gooood! Afraid to go back because I'd eat another entire pie! Go with friends so you won't he the whole pie! Oh boy now it's in my head now I'm heading over this weekend! read more

This pizza shop has delicious pizza that reminds me of the excellent pizza I would find back home in NY. I recommend their picante pie and mushroom and pepperoni pie but truthfully you really can't go wrong here. Not in the mood for pizza? Miyuki's Noodle Shop is also located here and has high quality food as well. I love their tuna poke. I believe it is a husband and wife duo. The husband owns the pizza shop and the wife owns the noodle shop. Both amazingly good food read more

Dante's Pizza - Mushroom and pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - New Canaan, Connecticut

The pizza is amazing! We ordered to go, but the place was packed with young families. There was a loud and happy vibe to the place. I definitely recommend. read more

Very good pizza and a great crust with a distinctive New Haven char. Quite pricey for what you get though. The taste wasn't quite there for me, which is why I rate it four stars. The real attraction at Dante's are their fresh scrumptious cookies if you ask me. I'd definitely drive out of my way to buy more of those! read more

Ordered pizza for my friends birthday lunch. We both decided on the bee sting since we love speciality pizzas!! Spicy salami, cherry peppers, and hot honey...we added onions and WOW it was perfect. We loved every bite. One of my favorite kinds of pizza. It's a must! read more

Best pizza around. It's a bit expensive but 100% worth it. Also has incredible cookies.

A perfect thin crust pizza! Our favorite spot in CT. Photographed is the Classic White, it was delicious. Also loved the Margherita & Pepperoni. read more

Dante's Pizza - Classic White - Pizza Near Me - New Canaan, Connecticut

I've had their pies about 20 times so far. Multiple Types ranging from the basic margarita to the fully loaded(somewhat basic options,). Always crisp dry pizza with little amounts of cheese and barely any sauce. it's very old-school Italian yet. I'm sure you could always ask for extra sauce, but that might confuse the end result of the type of style that they make. Their salads are always very fresh and the croutons are exceptional I feel pricing is a little bit high for the amount of pie you receive, but I feel that's the typical new Canaan effect the other part of the story is the cookie place attached which I believe is run by the fellow wife. As everybody knows they are extremely fresh, delicious and they have quite assortment. As for Service, they just give you what you order and you go sit down at some tables either inside their shared communal space with other restaurants, or you can go sit outside and basic tables Basically serve yourself style. As for ambience, there really isn't much as mentioned before. It's just basic tables and serve yourself. no fanfare to believe they don't have a liquor license so there's no beer or wine or liquor cans/bottles of soda read more

Their pizza was great (wood fired) but their cookies were amazing. They live in a shared dining space but we didn't stick around to eat. Looks very neat and with a robust menu. A little pricy but worth it. read more

Update 2022. Still the best pizza around. The Margherita is perfect if you want something other than the NY style pie. read more

Dante's Pizza - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - New Canaan, Connecticut

With all the pizza options in Connecticut and New York it is almost impossible to stand out, let alone be considered the best. Without hype or fanfare, Dante's Pizza has established its brand of neo-Neapolitan/New Haven style pizza as one of the areas best. How lucky are New Canaanites to have access to exceptional pizza in a casual and affordable setting. I have been eating at top pizzerias from New York to LA and have yet to have pizza better than this. From this wood fired oven on Pine Street you will find pizza to rival legendary pies from around the country. It's no surprise, because chef Dante has sourced the best ingredients and honed his skills at restaurants in Brooklyn and Berkeley before settling in New Canaan. Every slice has been better than the next, but I have a few favorites, including the homemade meatball and the picante with sausage, provolone and Calabrian chili peppers. Dante's pizza is worth seeking out. Make time to enjoy not only the pizza, but the homemade bread and focaccia, hearty sandwiches and escarole and bean soup. On a recent visit, I departed from pizza, and tried the pork ribs agridolce and the bitter green salad with escarole, radicchio, pecorino and a walnut vinaigrette. In these dishes, Dante's fine dinning skills shine. The homemade cannoli with dark chocolate, pistachio and confectioners sugar are not to be missed. On a recent visit, a friend was so enamored with the cannoli, that he purchases a large box to take home to share with friends and family. read more

This pizza is bussin fr tho. Dante is my homie. It's all good so order enough to take home and thank me later.

Love love love Dante's!!! They are amazing! Best pizza ever! Because of them I cannot eat any other pizza :) You cannot go wrong with any of their pizza options. Salads are healthy, delicious, and colorful. Thank you, Guys, for being such a gem in our neighborhood! read more

Amazing pizza! San Marciano tomatoes make the sauce really special. Definitely the best pizza in the area.

We moved here from Brooklyn. We know pizza. THIS is pizza. Great pizza - nothing comes closes in the county.

Let me start with the positives. The pizza, at it's core, is good. Perfectly cooked, tasty tomato sauce and good cheese. What bothered me is they added Jalapeños to my pizza, even though I didn't ask for them.Way too spicy. Came out the other end like a bag of flamin' hot cheetos! They also offer a cup of "ice cream" for $5.50. I bought one to share with my girlfriend, to cool our taste buds after the fiery pizza: bad idea. We mutually agreed it was the worst ice cream we had ever had. With the stench of old milk and the taste of buttery froyo, this substance simply shouldn't be consumed. Do better next time when allowing businesses to move to our town, which already has far more than enough terrible restaurants! read more

Do not miss out on the Chicken Parmesan sandwich! delicious house made marinara sauce, fresh basil, and chicken cutlets that are spiced and cooked to perfection, finished with delicious Parmesan cheese on house made bread!! Dante's Pizza and other offerings are A+ Spring is in! Add wine and Dine Alfresco Cheers! Happy Eating! read more

Spectacularly good, fresh, doughy pizza. A must stop and have if you're looking for great pizza. Do not leave without a chocolate chip cookie either. They are out of this world!! read more

One of the few places that actually delivers on their promise of NY style thin crust pizza. Every pie on their menu is delicious.

We were excited to try Dantes Pizza because we had just moved to the area and wood oven pizza is our favorite. We were so disappointed to get our pizza and see that the entire crust and bottom of pizza was beyond black(shown in the pictures we posted). We know it's normal to have some black around the pizza but this was outrageous. They should definitely clean their oven more often. We would've brought the pizza back but the woman at the counter was extremely unfriendly, giving us dirty looks and talking to us with an attitude. Not to mention that the pizza is extremely expensive and obviously not worth it if it's all black. We paid $24 for pizza with two toppings and it was only a 14" pizza. Wow rude employees and burnt pizza--never coming back. read more

We picked up pizza from here and it was delicious. So much better than the pizza we've been getting from the places around us and even from high end restaurants. We really couldn't believe it. While we were there we also picked up some focaccia and dessert, which were also delicious. Great experience and very happy with the food. We will be back again! read more

Know the chef, know the food. When you are passionate about what you do, particularly when it's food, the product stands the test. Dante is that guy... He sticks to what he knows, and he knows it well. Best pizza in new Canaan, probably best pizza in all of Fairfield county. Not sure? Go check it out. read more

Very good pizza! Went with the NY style and it was very tasty... The sauce especially. We'll make it a point to visit regularly.

What a great find for a casual lunch or weekend night! Wide open space, hip aesthetic and most importantly great food! Pizza was crispy, hot and made with exceptional quality ingredients. Proofs in the pudding as they say! Must try's are, the rustic square pie (reminded me of my grandmother pan pizza), NY style rounds ( I loved the fungi). They also have a great wine geek section which they aren't shy about letting you taste to find the right fit for you. Don't forget to try the freshly baked "Tall House" cookies their insane! read more

Really enjoyed the pizza here the margherita was spot on in my opinion the right balance of salt, sauce and cheese placement and the crust was perfectly charred and crispyyyyy loved it. Update 8/17/19 today I went to Brooklyn and ate at Julianas (supposedly the best pizza in ny) people wait 30 mins outside for this pizza, anyway- after eating there im claiming that the margarita at Dantes is the best pizza ive ever had. Its perfect. read more

Fantastic, fresh, thin crust pizza perfectly cooked with all fresh ingredients! Service was friendly and quick too. I had the white pizza and it was to die for. You can tell they use only fresh ingredients and the best of olive oils. The cannoli was equally as fresh - made on premises - and was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my lunch! read more

Amen. Died and went to Italian Heaven. Thank you so much. Not a bad thing on the menu and Dante is a gifted and passionate chef. Home made home grown and a home run. See you again soon. read more

Outstanding pizza! I'm a bit of a pizza snob and this place competes on the same level as the best New Haven/NYC pizza spots. We have been 5 times now with the family and it's VERY consistent, super clean & stellar service from the staff. The chef/owner Dante is passionate about his craft and truly delivers with an innovation twist on the pizza game! So happy to have this welcome addition to the New Canaan community. Congrats and keep up the great work! read more

Hands down the best pizza around. Incredible. Can't really compare it to anything else, in a league of its own. The picante is great if you like a little heat. read more

Great pizza! Roberto (Dante's father) taught him well. Had the Piccante pizza. Spicy and very tasty. Great crust too. Certainly takes pride in his work which will go a long way! read more

We are Connecticut, NY, NJ pizza snobs and really only like one other place in Wilton/ New Canaan. We were so happy to stumble onto Dante's. It's NY style, with hint of New Haven cooked in a wood burning oven. The broccoli rabe side is also killer. read more

Dante's Funghi pizza is the stuff that dreams are made of! Absolutely the best. The broccoli rabe is also amazing! I try to remember to order every week (easier on the waistline), but clearly the word is out. Tried to order a couple of days ago and he was already sold out. When does broccoli rabe sell out? Never, cuz it's never THIS good. read more

Glad to welcome Dante's to New Canaan. Excellent crispy New Haven pizza without the drive. Wish it were a bit cheaper.
