Come Out And Get Your Calzone Here

View as Map

Calzones are pizzas pleading "take me with you on your travels!" Some pizzas (say, New York style) can safely be eaten on a stroll. But many pizza variations (Neapolitan, anyone?) will almost instantly slump, drip or spill their cheese, tomato and toppings onto anyone who attempts to pick them up. Calzones solve this problem by making almost any kind of pizza topping portable, usually along with plenty of cheese and sauce. Eater presents 10 places around Louisville to take in a calzone. Have any other ideas or opinions? Please leave them in the comments.
