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.
Bari-born Luigi hails from Puglia, "on the coast of the majestic Adriatic Sea." This particular Puglian offers Cheese (ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan) and Spinach (same, with spinach) calzones.
The venerable "sub pub" with the great river view offers Cheese, Pepperoni and Chicken Calzones along with "Rocky's Famous Prosciutto and Mozzarella Stuffed Bread," which has a passing similarity to a calzone.
Wicks lends cred to the "calzone is just folded pizza" crowd by admitting their calzone is simply "3 of your favorite toppings stuffed inside our delicious homemade dough with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese melted inside."
The website says to "[b]ring a hearty appetite!” as Clifton's calzone is filled with “[p]izza sauce, cheese and your choice of SIX pizza toppings baked inside a thin pizza crust. It's HUGE!” Or you can just hand-carry it home, because after all, it's a calzone.
"Mamma Meatza" (Italian sausage, pepperoni, smoked ham, bacon, ground beef), "Armers Market" (pesto, artichokes, roasted peppers,, onions, black olives) and "Chicken Club" (grilled chicken, bacon, pesto, red onion) prove almost anything can be stuffed inside dough and called a calzone.
The "freewheelin' hippy culture"-based chain offers Cheese, Steak & Cheese and Chicken & Cheese calzones, or you can "[c]ustomize any calzone to your taste with any of the fresh ingredients you can get on a pizza." It's your trip, man.
"We begin your Calzone with our Fresh Homemade Dough, we then add our pizza sauce, Whole Milk Ricotta, Basil, and Whole Milk Mozzarella. You finish building your Calzone by selecting three (3) toppings of your choice." Why do we have to do so much work, Papalinos?
