Best pizza and best sandwiches in town! Pros: Delicious Pizza - Get the buffalo chicken pizza. You won't regret it! Great sandwiches - The Chicken Bacon Ranch and Super Italian are my jam! Friendly service - Always a smile and a happy employee behind the register. Cons: A little pricey (but worth it!) Small interior and parking lot (order it to go!) Just go already!

Sometimes I have trouble when calling the restaurant, there is sometimes a busy signal for 10-15 minutes but I ALWAYS get my order through, the employees answering the phone are always nice and pleasant, they never sound irritated or annoyed with the constant calls/orders they have to take and they are always nice at the drive thru window. I understand it might be aggravating with the dial tone for the 20 calls you make, but this establishment has never fallen short on the food they make (it always taste amazing and is correct) so I really don’t mind waiting to order. I love the subs here and Dante’s will ALWAYS be my go to for a hot sub!

Their tuna sandwich gave me an orgasm! Yes you read that correctly. My family have been customers of Dante’s for years now and it’s always a great experience. The younger teenagers running the counter are so friendly and I can tell they enjoy their job. Highly recommend to everyone. Keep doing what you’re doing we love y’all

This place is awesome. There are always smiling faces to greet you and take your order. Would totally recommend this place to anyone. The pizza is great so are the subs. Get the 13 inch it makes for great leftovers for lunch the next day. ...

I have loved this place for a long time and am sad to have just ordered my last pizza. It was one of the best restaurants in Hickory and we will truly miss having Dante’s. Thank you for all the years of serving great food.

Best subs in Hickory! Always piled high with meat (turkey and the Italian are my favorite) and pizza by the slice is massive.. got food earlier today and the employees were so sweet and kind. Love me some Dante’s! Keep up the good work guys!
