| - Came home from work and found a flyer attached to my front door for this place that freshly makes homemade calzones. Perfect timing! I was starving and didn't feel like cooking dinner and neither did hubby. So, after showing him the flyer, we headed over with our son.
It's a cute, little place in a strip mall behind the 7-11 on Cimarron and Farm. Had about 3 bar stools at the counter and I think 4 or 5 small tables inside. There is a wall to the left that lists out the available pizzas (which you can take and bake at home), salads and calzones you can order. It wasn't too busy, only 2 customers ahead of us. All of their calzones are hand made and they use non-GMO unbleached Montana wheat, local wild flower honey, sea salt, and olive oil. MMMMM! They also source their fruits and vegetables when they can too which I think is wonderful.
I spotted that you can purchase 6 calzones for $35. Since they are regularly $7/calzone, we figured we'd go for it and save the rest of the calzones for lunch. We ordered 2 pepperoni, 1 ham and pineapple, 1 pesto garlic (veggie), and 2 all meat since they were already available to take home straight away. We would've ended up waiting for 30 minutes to have them fresh baked. The calzones are a pretty good size and the fillings inside generous too...and just the right amount of cheese, which for me is oozing! The fresh-made dough was great too!
I had the pepperoni (for lunch today) and the ham and pineapple last night and really enjoyed them. Hubs had the pesto garlic. I don't know that he really enjoyed it as much though since it was a veggie calzone and he really wanted a combination one (which was no longer available on the board). So in the interest of time, he took the veggie one. My son also liked his all-meat calzone. We received marinara and ranch sauces with our calzones. The marinara sauce is fantastic.
For dessert, we ordered two monster-sized cookies (oatmeal and choc. chip, peanut butter) that looked delicious and they were!! Hubby and I ordered Italian sodas (raspberry and blackberry) which were also very good. They have about 30 flavors to choose from!
Because we brought in the flyer, we also got a free popsicle that I think is homemade from fruit from the orchard. We chose the apricot. It looks so fresh and delicious, but I haven't tried it yet. Was too full!
They also had some tasty-looking pumpkin and chocolate cakes in a little stand to the right. Next time I will definitely give those a try and I will also call ahead to order the calzones! They can do custom ones too so if that's what you want and don't want to wait at the store, call ahead and place an order.
The staff seemed friendly, maybe a tad shy and the person who took our order was pleasant. I think he might've been new since I showed him my Yelp check-in and asked if I can redeem the free dessert. He seemed a little unsure about whether I could or not, but went to check with the owner and all was fine.
This is a cute, little bakery with tasty calzones and some delicious, diet-busting desserts. I would definitely come back. I hope this place does well! Be sure to get a stamp card from them too!
