| - In town for the night, and was in the mood for a Calzone. After looking at several reviews of other places, I decided on Big Star... and I'm glad I did. I didn't want to patronize a national chain, I wanted a small mom 'n' pop shop, and Big Star is what you would expect. Nice couple of guys, Father and Son.... I ordered a warmed cheese slice while I was waiting for my calzone, and I found the dough to be light, yet crispy... easily foldable. The sauce was balanced - not too sweet, not too salty, not too spiced. A good amount of cheese covered...
The calzone, Ham and Cheese.... They use old school ovens here (major brownie points), no conveyor belt ovens.... so you get that "pizza oven" taste... he opened the door, and pulled out this golden pillow of mana... just like the pizza, the dough was soft and tender, yet crisp on the outside... brushed with butter, sprinkled with herbs, and sliced into four generous pieces... more than enough sauce was included....
I'd say this is definitely a go-to if you're passing through, they also offer subs, and Mediterranean fare (checked out their menu)... so, I'm sure whatever you try, you'll taste the love... ;-)
