Absolutely fabulous food! We were in Palm Desert for 4 nights and we ate at this place twice! Great family atmosphere and ambiance! Loved the Frank Sinatra/ Dean Martin music which was at an appropriate volume so we could still have a conversation at the table without having to shout! Great service too- really a lovely place to have dinner! Highly recommend!

Amazing crispy juicy wings! I love how they put the sauce on the side. Delicious! Pizza was also great! Cute little restaurant. They give you bread with garlic and butter in the beginning which is super yummy!

We had the hot meatball sub sandwich with peppers, onions and cheese. Antipasto salad and breaded zucchini. Also a piece of pizza ham, pineapple and slices of jalapeños. Pick up service from the smart phone. Pick up was on time. The food always excellent. The front counter personnel friendly and very helpful. We have been going in for years. Five stars. Thank you.

Great pizza if you like it thick and loaded. Tried the Papa Dan's special again! One of the best pizzas around the desert. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Delicious goodness wrapped up in a comfortable and friendly environment. A local favorite, family friendly. Great house wine 🍷. Only thing is, I don’t recommend ordering a salad at the end of the day, it’s probably not going to be the freshest.
Great garlic bread, little DIY project, make your own dang garlic bread Papa Dan says and I like it.

We decided to split lasagna and had very garlicky oil based dip for our bread. That was good! We tried goat cheese/artichoke appetizer and it was rather good. It could have more texture rather than finely blended. Meatballs was a good filler after we split. This was a busy place so good business!

Papa Dan's Pizza and pasta is the very best in the desert. We had the beef lasagna and salad! The food was fantastic and I highly recommend coming here!! Please ask for Gus! He will go above and beyond making sure that you are well taken care of!! Come and see for yourself! Thank you kindly!

Good Italian take-out. Great salads, tasty thin crust pizza, and big portions. You will have leftovers! We have also dined in and thought the service was good.

We had good experience eating here at this cozy pizza parlor- I would say it’s great for families. We have 3 kids and stopped for dinner on a road trip. There are many options on the menu. I had the mushroom ravioli with meat sauce which was good, but we all really enjoyed the pizza (Dan’s Specialty)! Some other things we noticed and liked 👍🏼
- Servers and staff were really nice
- There was outdoor seating available and didn’t have to wait long for a table
- They warm/lightly toast the bread and serve with fresh crushed garlic (we love garlic!) and of course butter
-We also ordered a Ceasar salad and they brought out chilled plates so we could all share without us asking

Yummy pizza, super quick delivery and friendly service. We got a discount for staying at the Marriott and ordering delivery to the place we were staying. We got mozzarella sticks and pizza. We liked the sauce and the crust. I would def order again next time I am in town!

We won a gift certificate from playing trivia so decided to check this lovely restaurant out. Our food was simply divine. I had three Papa Dan special and my husband had pasta puttanesca. We both loved our food. The staff was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back

This is one of our favorite pizza places when we are staying for 2 weeks at the Westin Rancho Mirage every March. Nice Italian Cuisine & atmosphere. Tables are close. Outdoor seating available. Nice starter of warm bread, fresh garlic & olive oil. We had the thin crust Sausage, Onion & Pepper with was perfect. Friendly service.

Cool atmosphere at Papa Dan's. Pizza is really good. Fairly substantial pizza with good amount of toppings and fresh and flavourful. Crust is quite thick but still very good.
The only thing holding me back from a 5 star is that it's quite expensive.

Really good experience, love the way they treated my family, for sure I will come back❤️

This place has some of the best flavors!! I haven’t had anything that was bad. The calzone is huge! Their sausage cannelloni is delicious!! Oh and the pizza is great!
Roy Gourley
Had a great pizza! Their sausage was fantastic. I had never tasted a pizza that was as good as Dan”s. Also had a large antipasto salad. There were four of us and we ended up taking the leftovers salad. Service was great and the beer was ice cold!

We are from WV and asked a local where would be a good place to get pizza? They recommended Papa Dan's Pizza. It was not to far from where we was staying at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa. Our server was an older lady, cannot remember her name. She was very kind and the food was awesome! We are here a few more days and might just go back.

Very disappointed in the meal I ordered. I ordered a Veal Parmigiana for $17. Well it was a very small piece of frozen veal that they put in a microwave and added cheese and sauce on it. And along with the veal they gave you about 10 spaghetti noodles. If I wanted a frozen piece of veal I would of not went to an Italian restaurant. Absolutely horrible that an Italian restaurant would serve such a horrible meal. Also told the server how I felt and was completely ignored. And the pizza we ordered for the kids was just ok.

Food was great, I had the sausage stuffed Cantelloni with Alfredo sauce. Nice bottle of wine and great service. It is now Jaclyn Gasiewicz’s favorite Italian food stop.
