Size: There was some disagreement whether or not the calzone should be defined as “large” or “more than enough for 2.” Three of us ate about half of our calzone and took the other half home, while one of us ate the entire thing. I definitely think had I been hungrier I could’ve ate the whole thing as well. So I would say it’s defined as more than large, but if you are going to split it you might think about splitting a salad as well.

Price: The menu prices for calzone are $7-10. Their specialty calzones that you can order off the menu are $9 & $10 where the make your own calzone is $7 but then you pay for each additional topping.

Types Tried

Amy---build your own style, Chicken, Tomatoes, Green Peppers, & Jalapenos.
Matt---ordered off the menu one of their specialties, Spinach & Artichoke (four cheese blend, spinach, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts)
Kat---ordered off the menu, Spinach & Artichoke Calzone
Patrick--- ordered off the menu one of their specialties, the Meat Supreme Calzone, (Ham, Pepperoni, Hamburger, Sausage, Bacon, & Mozzarella Cheese)

Comments: You can add toppings to your calzone for the price of a small pizza topping. For some reason I ordered the spinach and artichoke expecting it to taste like the spinach and artichoke dip. What was I thinking? I am not sure either. The calzone was filled to the crust in large artichoke hearts and the four cheese blend! This usually isn’t my typical calzone (I usually get the meat calzone) but it was delicious.


Overall Calzone Score: 38/50=76% C

PIZZERIA RATING:
Matt & Amy Calzone Crew’s Score:
Cleanliness: 8/10=80% 15/20= 75%
Ambiance: 6/10=60% 13/20= 65%
Friendliness: 7/10=70% 15/20= 75%
Service: 7/10=70% 13/20= 65%

Comments: There were not very many people at the bar/restaurant but having one bartender also double as the server had her rushing around the building to keep the customers happy. If you are looking for more of a pizzeria then this probably is not the place. The atmosphere is more catered for bar patrons but the food is still pretty good.

Overall Pizzeria Rating: 28/40=70% C-

Pros: It’s a great place to grab a beer and eat at the bar. Try out there happy hour during the week and stop by on Friday night and check out Sky Bar.

Cons: The service was not the greatest. The bartender doubled also as the waitress and there seemed to not be any actual servers at the restaurant. The atmosphere and ambiance was low do it being a Tuesday but I know that there are other days that Saints is packed to the wall so I think we were the victims of a Tuesday during the summer.

Suggestions: Check out the happy hour special during the week for $1 off of all beer, wine, and mixed drinks that runs until 7pm. Try the meat supreme calzone. It looks and sounds delicious!

The spinach artichoke calzone I chose was listed on the menu as one of the four to choose from. I am beginning to think that I should stick to the build your own calzone style. The artichoke hearts were almost too big and when you went to bite down you brought out the whole artichoke (some may like this, but I always think of when you take your first bite of a piece of pizza and all of the cheese comes off.) It would have been better if they cut the artichoke down so that you had some in every bite. Slice is still the best calzone out there.
