Love the pizza, Ive been coming here over 30yrs, probably my favorite pizza around!

This place hasnt 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 ...

I love Panteras Pizza. The ONLY complaint is that there isnt one open closer to fairview heightsbelleville area. I make that trek to Edwardsville tho and always well worth it.

Everything was excellent! All the vegetables on the salad bar were fresh. The pizza was one of the best I have had! Workers were friendly and courteous.

Love the food always have first had it when it was in Fairview Heights I missed that location a lot. If I had anything to complain a little bit about would be the game room most of the games were out of service too many prize games and not enough just old school video games

We did the lunch buffet. It was very good, and reasinably priced. They had a great salad buffet, that came with the pizza buffet. ...

We ate here awhile back. Reminds me of a nice mom and pop shop. Food was awesome and service was nice. Highly recommend to individuals who miss that buffet style experienced and would enjoy something besides main stream.

Always loved Panteras. Forgot there was one in Edwardsville until I happened to pass it, decided to stop and grab a mini pizza. So delicious and the server was very nice. Loved the vintage arcade game in the corner.
