This place is small and the wait time was on the slow side of the customer business area. The cash register people were friendly though and my Veggie mix Calzone was uniquely delicious. Green pepper, and small bits of herbs plus coleslaw and garlic sauce made this calzone super yummy and different. I've never had anything like this on the other side of Canada. I wish there were bigger pieces of vegetables in there like tomatoes and other vegetables etc. Maybe next time I can ask them to add cheese to it. They have other types of items at this location but mostly meat-y things. read more

Mr Calzone - Veggie mix calzone and sauce - Halal Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

One of the most horrible places to eat or takeout in Winnipeg. Starting from the low, barely paid staff. This place's owners pay their staff whenever they feel like it. Tips are usually taken by the owners and nothing goes to staff. Air conditioning, heating, and ventilation are not available because the owners do not want to fix them. They also don't provide heaters because it's "too expensive" to keep their staff and customers warm in Winnipeg's winter. This is utter disrespect to their employees. The place also lacks the minimum level of hygiene and lacks the tools to be used for cleaning. You can easily spot rats' poop and cockroaches all over the place. Yet again, the owners are too cheap to get someone to do proper cleaning. The owners don't also mind using spoiled chicken and beef for their daily operations. THEY ALSO DON'T MIND USING NON-HALAL MEAT AND SELL IT AS HALAL. Simply, don't waste your money making irresponsible, disrespectful people rich. read more

It was suggested that I try Mr. Calzone years ago. I did not. No interest in coleslaw cooked into anything. I was wrong; once I finally tried the calzone, I was amazed. Magic and wizardry is all I can say. I get the beef calzone often. It's amazing every time. read more

I don't think I'd ever notice a place like City Pizza, until a friend emphatically raved about this place's calzone. First of all, the name doesn't scream anything special and the restaurant's exterior isn't the most inviting either. But this little hole-in-the-wall eatery on Ellice Ave is worth checking out. Trust me, there is no décor to speak of here. The place has a few tables and an empty glass counter and quite honestly, looked a bit sad and quiet here. But you have to look past all these things and focus on the delicious food that will come out of that kitchen. This place is a Halal restaurant and yes, they serve pizza but they also serve calzones, fried chicken, lamb and chicken kebabs amongst other items. The folded chicken calzone here is great! It's filled with chicken tikka, salad, and this creamy sauce. A small calzone ($8.69) is quite large; it can probably serve 2 people for lunch, one person if you want to be in a post lunch coma. I ate half of mine and had the rest for dinner. I'll ask for less sauce next time but this is a really delicious calzone filled with really moist and flavourful chicken (all white meat). The chicken tikka is very addictive and is an Iraqi version, not Indian, though there are similarities. The chicken tikka comes as a pizza topping too so I had to try that on my next visit. The pizzas are between $7-$12 depending on the flavour and comes in three sizes (S/M/L), the small can easily feed two people. I tried the small chicken tikka pizza for $8.59; it's a thin to medium crust, with a good coverage of cheese with a decent amount of chicken. The 2 piece fried chicken and fries order was more of an impulse item. No one needed the fried chicken but we thought, for $2.99, how can you go wrong? Well, first of all, we didn't get any fries in our take out but whatever. The drumstick and thigh pieces were so brown and oh so deeply fried for about 5 mins too long. Luckily the meat wasn't super dry, thank goodness for the dark meat. But there wasn't much flavour to the chicken so suppress your urge to order fried chicken and stick with the other items. The "mixed grill" kebab meal ($16.69) comes with 2 chicken tikka skewers, 2 lamb kebabs, 2 naan bread, sauce (similar to a mayo) and what they refer to as a BBQ salad is really roasted tomatoes and onions. Once again, the portions in the mixed grill are large enough to share. The lamb kebabs are addicting! I don't know what kind of spices they mix in there but it's excellent! All the flavours meld perfectly when you assemble the lamb kebab in the naan with the roasted tomatoes and onions and the mayo like sauce. This is a definite winner, so if you like the Lebanese offerings from Shawarma Time and Baraka Pita, try City Pizza's Iraqi take on the lamb kebab! read more

Good Food, If you judge this book by its cover it's your loss. Get a Calzone. Tip the cook. Well Done, City Pizza. Maybe change the name though to something else. read more

Mr Calzone - 13" Calzone, good for 1-3 People. Worth the $13.99 - Halal Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

One of the best places for calzone. I've been to this place million times and will go another million times. Each time is the same taste and smell. Love each and every single bite of it. Les Saj restaurant (in Winnipeg) needs to learn from this restaurant in food quality, taste, and price. read more

I loved the Calzone, It was a great meal. The place looks poor, it would have been better if it was renovated. read more

Great food, small menu. Best is either the chicken calzone or the Jordanian Shawarma. Both tasty and delicious. Make sure you ask for the dipping sauce read more

The place does not look the most up-to-date but its one of those hidden gems you can't miss out on. The staff is great and realistic on time of food. There are some tables and a tv while you wait. Some may feel the area is rough but just have common sense and lock your doors like you would anywhere else. My Calzone (mixed meat) was incredibly filling for two people and very delicious. They also have a few other options. Definitely the king of calzones! They cater in Middle Eastern tastes and have a basic but simple menu that allows them focus on the main quality of their food. Would love to go back, very affordable. read more

The restaurant is a very nice place. I went there last Monday.The calzone is really good really tasty and delicious. Good service. Took about 15 minutes, but little did they know i understood and spoke arabic, my thought on good service has changed just cause of the language that was being used and in many inappropriate ways. Should be better cleaning. Right when i came in i noticed that the chairs were not as clean and wiped well and the windows were not clean. I don't think i noticed that any kind if cleaning sprays or supplies were being used on the tables or floor. I would totally go back there if the employees were a bit more careful with what they say. Keep it up. read more

Their pizza is HORRIBLE....the crust tastes like Cardboard. Save your money and go to Flying Pizza right in the same area.

Calzones are to die for. $13 for a large is enough for 2 people and it's full of chicken and like coleslaw. Comes with 2 sauces also, seriously great food. We drive across town every weekend for 1. Yum! read more

Worst pizza ever. Ordered for delivery and it took 1.5 hours for a cold pizza and the delivery guy couldn't even give a receipt. I've never had worst. read more
