| - I really wanted to like this place and struggled with the star rating. I went with 4 instead of 3 because I really want people to try it and decide for themselves, may just be a matter of preference. Nothing tastes bad, it came down to the thickness of the calzone crust.
First, the women working in there were very nice and helpful. Everything seems to be made from scratch, including the ranch and homemade Popsicles. They buy as much as they can locally from Gilcrease Orchard it seems.
The menu: They had either 7 or 9 (can't remember) calzones that were baked that day, meaning those are the ones you have to choose from if you're dining in. For take and bake you can order any calzone or pizza on the menu, those you take to go and bake at home. You can call ahead as well. There was also a salad on the menu that looked pretty good. They have large homemade cookies and a couple other breads, homemade Popsicles, as mentioned, and Italian sodas (with or without cream). We ordered 3 calzones (choice of ranch or red sauce on the side with each). The crust has a good flavor and I'd be curious to try a pizza, but for me the calzone crust was just too thick, too much dough. In fact, the thickest parts were still just slightly doughy in the center. My husband and I a prefer a much thinner calzone crust. The kids liked it.
They do have a generous punch card, buy 5 and you get one free.
I really do hope they succeed. They will need some word of mouth advertising because the location isn't very noticeable. Maybe they're still waiting on signage, but I couldn't find them until I was in front of their door (they are next door to Algobertos tacos).
Give them a try. We will probably try a take and bake pizza next time.
