Great flavor on strom, asked for hot , did not disappoint! $13 doesn't seem like much in comparison to other stroms around town, but I think all of them have gotten too expensive. Price of everything has gone up so it's understandable but still a bit pricey for lunch. Owner was great to deal with, I would recommend a visit here based on the flavor of strom and the welcoming attitude of the man himself read more

Best thing about this meal were the breadsticks and cheese sauce. In my opinion I would have had a better pizza if I stop in at a gas station. Pizza was very bland in my opinion and I would not be coming back for more. This was a one and done for me. Additionally, I added an additional $10 tip for the delivery driver (DoorDash driver), upon arrival I had asked the delivery person if she had received the $10 tip I added. She did not and Dontae's apparently kept it for themselves. Not a great look in my opinion. Hard pass on this place for me. read more

Their pizza is great. The staff is so friendly, and it's very cozy and family friendly. Prices are reasonable too.

I got "the larr" pizza. The toppings were absolutely delicious, and the yellow peppers on top were slightly sweet? I loved them. I've never had that style of pepper ever. The place was super clean, staff is very friendly & welcoming. My only issue is the thin crust? Apparently that's a big thing here in the Midwest. I'm used to thicker hand tossed dough & NY style. Hope to see a thicker crust in the future. Regardless, the food was still delicious. Thanks Dontae's! read more

The service is absolutely fantastic, the owner "Dontae" went above and beyond. I used a national delivery service and when they didn't deliver my order, Dontae went out of his way to remake my order and deliver it himself, just awesome. The pizza is fantastic, fresh and piping hot. I would highly recommend Dontaes Pizza Parlor. read more

First, I will review the food, then the management. The food was awesome. It's the best pizza I've had in Evansville. I've worked in pizza places and perfected my own recipe at home and as a bit of a pizza snob, this hit the spot without being over the top. Being a recent transplant to Evansville, I'm not a fan of the una/cracker crust that is so common here. I asked if its possible to get a regular crust and they were very accommodating. The ingredients are made in-house. As someone who has made their own, I had to try the candied jalapeños and they did not disappoint. Now on to Dontae, himself. Dontae came to our table and personally made sure that our needs were met. He is possibly the friendliest person we have met in Evansville. He's honest and real about who he is and I've met few people so disarming that you both feel comfortable enough that you can talk about some real shit before you're finished with your meal. It's obvious he loves his work and loves sharing it with others. On the car ride home, my wife and I agreed that Dontae could be anything. He's got the intelligence, charisma, and honesty to do whatever he wants and he chose to be an awesome cook selling awesome food. read more

Great experience! Loved the garlic cheese bread and everything we ate there. The service was great and definitely will visit again!

Definitely a hidden gem worth trying when you're on this side of town! Lunch buffet is small and tasty. They'll put almost anything you ask for on it. I'd like to go back again and try a Stromboli. read more

Cheese bread is out of this world pizza and Stromboli were real good to don't sleep on this one

Had some coworkers suggest Dontae's to us, and although the location was kind of misleading, the food was great! The M-80s and mini grilled cheese appetizers were delicious and garlicky -- just how I like it. We got the Larr and the Hot Hawaiian for our pizzas, and they were both great. Our servers were nice and attentive, so no complaints from these out-of-towners! read more

Great food and great staff. They have a bunch of creative pizzas (ones with pulled pork, candied jalapeños, etc.) and traditional ones. We had the Heffer. It has brisket, green pepper, apple and some kind of brisket drizzle on top of it. It was fantastic. If you're in Evansville and like pizza/Stromboli/Paninis you should definitely try Dontae's Highland Pizza. Two words: candied jalapeños. They are amazing on anything at Dontae's! read more

Food is fine. Individuals with sensory sensitivity issues should be aware in advance how loud and stimulating the dining area is. Pinball machines are blaring, knocking, and kitchen equipment banging loudly, constantly. Would stick to carry out if this is a concern. read more

We tried Donates for the first time and really liked our pizza and bread sticks. Everything tasted fresh. We had a 16" half sausage, mushroom, onion and half veggie with extra cheese. There was a little too much pesto on the veggie side for my taste but otherwise very tasty. A nice thin crust too. Although I'm not a fan of sausage I liked this one. Even the tomato sauce tasted fresh. read more

Tried Dontaes for lunch with a group of friends this weekend and requested enjoyed the vibe. Service was great and very friendly and my Greek salad was really tasty. I definitely want to come back and support this locally owned business. I have a few suggestions about the menu. I was surprised that there was no option to add a protein like chicken to my salad. That's what takes it from a side to en entree, and the kitchen already has the chicken on hand for sandwiches and pizza. Let me get some on my salad! Also, most of the sandwiches are Stromboli style concoctions. The only one I really considered that wasn't was the Cuban, but I wasn't in the mood for that flavor profile. Again, you have pepperoni, ham, salami and cheese in the kitchen already, why not offer a traditional style Italian hoagie? Finally, the only sizes offered on the (delicious, I tried a slice from a friend's plate) pizzas are 12 inch and 16 inch. Why no 8 or 10 inch personal size? My nine friends and I will never agree on toppings to share a large, and I'll never order a 12 inch to eat by myself. I hope the restaurant will understand the lack of options and be open to utilizing existing ingredients and resources to expand their appeal to diners. It won't cost any more to be more flexible for customers. read more

What a wonderful place! Greeted at the door by the owner, pleasant, polite and efficient. Ordered M-80s appetizer which were absolutely 5/5 on deliciousness scale! Pinball machines were wonderful as well. Ordered cow-n-pig, The Larr pizzas, and the Farve sandwich for carry out and all I can say is WOW!! The restaurant itself was spotlessly clean. All workers were polite and friendly. My only critique would be to add some local craft type beers to their beer menu! Then it would be pizza parlor perfection! read more

Arrived on a Friday around 1130 for their lunch buffet. They had me pay in 8.99 in advance. When I walked up to the buffet there was two partial pizzas and an empty third pan. In the 45 minutes I was there, only one other pizza was put out. There were a few other customers that were also waiting for additional pizzas but eventually left. Not worth $9 when there's no variety and so little quantity. read more
