    Gluten free pizza was awesome. Regular pizza crust was bland.

    We did the lunch buffet. It was very good, and reasinably priced. They had a great salad buffet, that came with the pizza buffet. They continued to bring out fresh food all the way up until the end, when they closed out the buffet. I was imoressed by this, because most places do not do this. Most places just leave out what they have, and you have to scavage from that. I did notice that they had alot of carry out orders during this time too...so that may have helped with them making constant fresh pizzas as well. Plus, they had a decent crowd in there the whole time too. Overall, this was one of the best pizza buffets I have been to in a long time. We will definitely be going back!!

    This is without a doubt or favorite pizza restaurant in the area. We drive 30+ minutes twice a week for two reasons... the pizza and the awesome salad bar. Very friendly and professional staff who not only serves excellent food but maintains one of the cleanest restaurants we've seen anywhere. And that's saying a lot. Definitely worth making the trip!

    This place hasn't really changed in 38 years. For some, that can be good, or bad. This was a pleasant and good experience. The "Hunk" was everything I remembered it to be. Double sauce, double toppings, n Double the melty cheesiness. A large is ONLY 5 pounds of deliciousness. Salad bar, n self served drinks, while listening to tunes from a juke box. The arcade seemed smaller, with fewer games, but games were still offered. Good service with a smile. And they still offer a pizza buffet several times throughout the week. Definitely worth your money.

    *Edit 2/10/26* Updated Rating Had a pleasant experience working with the owner. I want to reiterate, as I stated below in my original review, the pizza was great and the restaurant prepared my pizza really quickly. The only issue was with the delivery (which was NOT Pantera's fault). Not being able to have any recourse with DoorDash as the end consumer was the problem. In the specific circumstance of this one delivery, it was likely akin to a combination of poor judgment + super bowl sunday where the driver thought other delivery orders would be prepared faster than they did, but, again, it was the driver's own judgment to sit and wait for ~40 min for additional orders while our food was getting cold. ------ We ended up having a delivery. The restaurant was great; the pizza, even on Super Bowl Sunday, was ready in <20 minutes. The DoorDash delivery service left something to be desired, because the driver decided to pick up another order and wait which caused our pizza to be delivered almost 40 minutes after it was picked up, and it was cold. We warmed it back up in the oven, and it was still pretty good. We would order from here again but will probably never use delivery again. Based on volume of orders, I would recommend getting your own drivers that do nothing but deliver pizza to your customers. It was absurd that I left a high tip for a DoorDash driver that delivered my food cold because they were trying to be 'efficient', and I have no recourse or ability to modify my tip to show for their poor service.

    This is my first time eating at Panteras pizza. The pizza was really delicious and I will definitely come back multiple times just to eat here! Drove from Watseka Illinois to come and eat here for my mom’s birthday! This is her favorite pizza ever since it was located in Watseka until they closed! It made my moms day and her younger years, she said pizza still taste the same like it did in the 80s!
