The best calzones ever!!! Pizza fulfills every kind of a pizza style need. The fact that the homemade dough surpasses all other crusts do to the precise pasty like flavor and feel. It is an honor to have grown up with Pet'e pizza and calzones after graduations,Basketball,Baseball and football games. read more

First time eating at Pete's... been in Spokane for over 13 years and I can't believe I've never ordered their calzones. We went in yesterday during their Tuesday calzone special - $12 calzones. I ordered the pesto garlic chicken and I just say it was the right amount of pesto, tons of garlic, and the seasoning was spot on! I don't think I had one bland bite and I'm living for it. Definitely coming back! The calzones are big enough for two meals, but I was ravenous and devoured it all. The restaurant is quiet, smells good, and a great spot for lunch meetings if you ever need to meet someone. I recommend ordering your calzone over the phone before you get here as they quote about 30 minutes before they're ready. 10/10 read more

What happened to Pete's???? They are not the same, I don't know what Jake/Owner did to the recipes but it's not good. I'm bummed bc my parents took me here growing up in the 90's and I've been here as an adult, and they're flat, lifeless, the chicken cheddar calzone had no mozzarella (it used to have some, I know cheddar is in it) like it used to, but either way it was like a liquid mess inside this time. Runny insides and flat outsides Another one bites the dust and I'm gutted. This isn't Pete's anymore. They have no volume, flat as a pancake. I wish I didn't have to say that. We've ordered a few since it was sold and notice the difference, these other photos seem like they're made for friends/reviewers. I'm not sure where these people are getting their calzones that are in the pictures here but that is what they used to look like, unlike the ones we've gotten the last several times which were flat as a pancake. I see that I'm not the only person who's noticed. I'm also wondering if the people posting these stellar reviews with these really well-made voluminous calzones are friends and family because none of the other calzones that we've gotten looked anything near that good. Maybe make them like that for everyone and the reviews will go up from 3.8 stars. but I don't see that the new owner seems to care. Staff is nice. I wish I took a pic before cutting it bc it was flat and sad. read more

You must come here! We were looking for a quick spot to eat and came across this cute pizza place. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by friendly staff who were enthusiastic while taking our order. I also spotted an old Mrs. Pac-Man game towards the back . We ordered the small "Sharp Ave" pizza and were pleasantly surprised by the outcome! It was perfect for three people (mind you we weren't too hungry) and an awesome way to end lunch. I would 1000000% recommend coming here for a quick bite or even a big meal . read more

Love this place. Delicious sauce. A+ location. Nostalgia. All of it. But. Ordered the calzone and honestly. The crust is horrible. How hard is it to make an ok simple crust. Apparently very. You need to fix that tomorrow. Just Google it. Honestly. Broke apart and tasted like dessicated cardboard. Thank goodness for the amazing marinara. Which is world class. read more

BYO Calzones are the way to go here, for selection and price point. They were good on this visit. Salad was decent, as well. I do prefer their location on NW Blvd, where your meal is not being made by Gonzaga kids (it's been hit or miss over the years here). Where my disappointment falls is squarely on their decor. The decision to gut a beautiful, divey ol' joint that had a ton of character, and turn it into another sterile, boring college campus yawn-fest has me bidding them a sad farewell. Granted, this redo may have happened years ago, but it has been awhile since our last visit. Change for the sake of change is not always a good thing... read more

An all time classic for my family and I! Love the calzone's! It's our go to spot. Service is always great, even when they are busy. A must try if you haven't been! read more

I don't understand the hype about this pizza. My husband and I eat Pizza at least once a week. We love good pizza! Sorry to say it was flavorless as well as the crust was terrible. The crust is so important! We don't mind spending money on a good pizza but with delivery it was $50. Very disappointed!!! read more

Pete's was the first place I ordered during quarantine .. it was a long time back, just when the quarantine started, and forgot to write :D Got 2 calzones .. a roasted garlic chicken and veggie gourmet. The chicken one was really nice .. to be honest .. a full calzone is too much of a meal .. I mean very decent size. The veggie one could have done with a bit more oomph .. like may be some seasoning or the pesto with a bit more punch .. it was still nice. And they make it fresh so give some time for your order to be ready .. it's all good :) read more

This is the first time I've ever had a calzone! My kids said I'm spoiled now cuz this will be the best one I've ever had. So I'm not sure if other calzones have braids and are round like pot pies. I had a pepperoni, sausage and olive lite. Which is a smaller size. I couldn't finish it, I got so full so I can't imagine how big the full size would be. It was yummy. We were the only ones in there cuz it was Sunday at 3:00. We were walking through Gonzaga university and needed a late lunch. It takes 20 minutes for them to make and bake but we didn't mind the wait. Would recommend eating here if you are in the area. read more

Love Pete's, I worked as a server at Pete's in the 80's. I recently moved back to the area and the calzones taste as wonderful as they ever did. The recipes and the calzones STILL live up to the hype. read more

First time here today and I must say, very impressed. They probably have some of the freshest ingredients in town! The Caesar salad was chilled and fresh and crispy, very refreshing. I can't wait to come back to try the Mediterranean salad. The gluten pizza was excellent as well. It's hard to find a good gluten free pizza and there's was deeeelish! The crust was tasty and it wasn't too crispy or too soft but just right. Oh and the sausage and other ingredients...fresh and divine! Thank you Pete's pizza!!! read more

We ordered the Tuesday calzone special. It was delish! If you like a kick in your calzone, order the Sicilian! I ordered the Roasted Garlic Chicken! I love the chunks of garlic! The service was great. I arrived a little before 4:00pm & was getting busy! read more

Good local pizza stalwart. Pizza is good and prices are decent though it's not inexpensive. This a counter service location but the staff is engaging as they walk through to deliver food. They are interested in making sure everyone has when they need. read more

Second time coming here for a to go order for a calzone and this experience was much better than my first go around! I did the Tuesday special, any calzone (up to 4 toppings or specialty) for $12 and I have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow too! I asked for pink sauce(not on the menu but it's marinara and their garlic sauce mixed), double pepperoni, ricotta, green olives (they get a whole star just for offering green ones!!), and extra cheese and it was soo good! Their pepperoni is fresh and not cheap like a lot of places use. Their website needs updating because the specials on there say ANY regular or lite calzone for $12 on Tuesdays but inside it says up to 4 toppings and the gal on the phone didn't give me my total, I just assumed it was $12 but since I got 5 toppings I was charged more(not a big deal and I didn't take stars away for that but most people want to have the pricing accurate!) The first visit here my calzone was soft and flat with hardly any sauce and toppings but this time it was a little more crispy and had plenty of toppings. The calzones probably taste even better if you aren't taking them to go but I would say they are a solid 4 stars, I wanna try their pizza at some point too. The inside is quiet, basic looking, probably wouldn't want to dine in though because it's boring inside and seems like a to go type of place. Overall, will come back for lunch breaks! read more

Lookin like my poo from last night it is not appetizing and it taste burnt and just overall is not appetizing

Always love the calzone's, that's why he's the calzone king! Fresh quality ingredients and awesome service I always look forward to any meal from here. I love looking up their monthly special and trying something different. read more

Had the Meat City Calzone... it was great, very meat heavy, which is exactly what i wanted...had the red sauce pizza before, it was good, but very greasy and the sausage was very salty, but it was good.. overall I'd recommend the calzones or a pizza with the white sauce, as those are also very good read more

We were so hungry and literally this was the closest thing to us. I am not a calzone person, but decided to try and WOW it was delicious YUM YUM! I realized it would take 20-25 min so we ordered the cheesy bites and those were the best! Their dough is amazing, crispy and soft at the same time. The staff has been so nice and welcoming. Great experience. read more

We love the take and bake calzones. This time they totally screwed up the order. My husband is allergic to tomatoes so I always order pesto and lite on the pesto. They put marinara with the pesto sauce. When you order pesto sauce, why would they put marinara with it. We live in the valley and had to drive all the way back into town to get it exchanged. They gave him some lame excuse , no coupon for the inconvenience and no money back. read more

Great little place to grab a Calizone and a beer. It quite and has a pleasant atmosphere.

First time I ate here was my Sophomore year at Gonzaga U (GU).The calzone was delicious then and just as delicious now. The staff was friendly and the place was very clean. I had the Verona Calzone. It is quite good with a slight spicy taste. Since they make the calzone by hand, there is a wait, but the wait is definitely worth it! The place to eat while at or near GU! read more

I had a $17 half mushroom half pepperoni medium pizza and gave a two dollar tip before I got to taste it. It was the most awful tasting cardboard pizza I have ever had the misfortune to eat. I waited probably 25 minutes and I was the only one in there and the young lady that served it was marginally friendly. I think the place should be investigated for buying three dollar grocery store pizzas and putting them in a house oven and serving them. I can't believe a pizza coming out of a pizza oven to taste that bad. I would definitely not recommend this place. read more

Great place ! Amazing calzones!! Went for the first time and was very satisfied! Huge calzones btw

First, a note on parking. If you go around the back of the building there is a lot more than available trying to park on the street in front of the place. The decor inside is very comfy, and they have the requisite red and white checkered curtains of any Italian themed restaurant. I always wonder how that started. But I digress. Prices are very reasonable, and they have two sizes of calzone if you have a smaller appetite. They claim to be the calzone king, and having spent three years on the East Coast where the calzone was born, I had pretty high expectations. Here is the breakdown. Sauce is great. Little bit of a kick but probably tolerable by kids as well. The cheese is gooey and stretchy like good mozzarella ought to be. And the ingredients they stuff in there are great as well. However, the crust did not wow me. It wasn't horrible by any means, but if you are going to call yourself Calzone King, you better bring some serious buttery crusty goodness on the outside to pair with the great stuff inside. Overall a good calzone, but not king. That being said, I am not on the East Coast so this is a pretty good substitute. I would definitely recommend this place to any calzone fan. They have Buck 'n' Opie's root beer here too, which is my favorite brand, so that makes me happy. They also have a good selection of beer and wine for the grownups as well. read more

I've been going here since I was a little kid, playing the old school pac man game in the back hallway. Small hole in the wall atmosphere and never feels fully redecorated even though the interior changes every few years it seems (I stop in whenever I can when I'm in town seeing family). The parking is on the street parking and often busy from what I recall but I've always been able to find parking. I do suggest calling ahead, especially if you have kids with you. The wait is a minimum of 25 mins from the time you order. If it's busy, expect to wait a while. Knowing that though, it's definitely worth the wait. The crust is delicious and perfect, the sauce is good and they definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. I've searched for a better calzone for years and years and haven't found any that come even close. Delicious! FYI, I always order their Hawaiian (canadian bacon, olives and pineapple). Everyone I've ever brought loves them as well. read more

Pete's Pizza - I was excited to learn they added a "Lite" size to the menu. It's the perfect size for 1 person! - Pizza Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This place is definitely THE place to go to for a great calzone in Spokane. I ordered the original calzone and it was bigger than my face ! For a dollar more you can ad ricotta cheese to it and i highly recommend doing so because it is delicious ! As far as appetizers I tried their cesar salad which was just a typical salad not much special about really what special thing could you expect from a cesar salad anyways. Staff was also super friendly I will definitely be coming back to this joint and would recommend you try it if you are in the mood for a calzone ! read more

We got take n bake calzones today. Let me just say, the Calzone King is an appropriate moniker! The dough is flavorful and soft and chewy and delicious. The fillings are full of flavor and cheesy goodness. Yum. Just...yum. I grew up in NY, and have eaten at least 20 calzones in my life. I've had some good calzones, ok? Fuggedaboudit! This is the best I've ever had! Thank you, your majesty. read more

I always make the mistake of going here when I am super hungry. It makes.me super impatient to wait but boy, is it worth it! I only give four stars because the last time I went, the full calzone looked a little less than full (didn't fill the whole plate like it normally does). Still, I am always impressed with the freshness of ingredients and the deliciousness so you know I'll be back! read more

My husband loved eating Pete's pizza as a child in Seattle. It was always his pic for his birthday meal. We decided to take a mini road trip to Spokane to see if the one here was as good as what he remembered it being. IT WAS! We had a great time, really enjoyed our calzones. They are very different from any I have had before. The crust was so flaky and tasty, perfect! read more

Yum! Pete's rocks......if you haven't been, you need to go!!! Been coming here since I was a kid, and their calzones are legendary :D

This. Is. Everything. I've never had a better tasting calzone in my life. I'm obsessed and will be back a thousand times. I got meatball, Italian sausage, and onions. It was the perfect combo. The crust has a nice flaky top and the. Was beautiful perfect dough underneath. Lots of cheese, Perfect meat and sauce ratio. Their sauce isn't that processed marinara crap. It's got small pieces of tomato and great authentic fresh flavor. I want to eat this everyday. Plus their ranch is so amazing. Extra thick and creamy. read more

A family favorite. We love Pete's! Pizza is good, garlic cheese bread is super good, and the calzones are delicious! YUM!

I've traveled all over the world and had a lot of calzones in my life but not like this one I just had at Pete's earlier this evening. I ordered a full size calzone thinking I would only eat half and take the rest home. I usually never finish anything. But this calzone was so amazing I stuffed the whole thing into my face in the span of about fifteen minutes. The crust was perfect. Just absolutely perfect. Perfectly crispy, perfectly firm and chewy and fluffy in all the right places. Fillings were perfectly proportioned and steaming hot. The marinara sauce is rich and well seasoned. I'm about to be comatose from overindulgence and I have a food baby the size of an actual baby. But for the fifteen minutes it took me to wolf that magnificent thing down, I was in heaven. read more

Decent calzones, thought the 4 we ordered at full size would be more poofy, ours were more flat, garlic sauce ok, would be great if they had a cream alfredo option, some meats are pretty salty, top crust kind of thin, maybe a med well cook would add more cripness when ordering, i created my own with peppero i salama red peppers extra marinara and onion, online says red onion but the dont carry, not bad though read more

The food is pretty darn good here! The calzones are massive and amazingly priced. You can easily get two meals out of the regular size calzone. I came in very hungry, ordered some cheese bites and a lite size calzone and still brought half the calzone home as leftovers! There's a big sign in the entrance warning you of the weight time as everything is made fresh. Heed that warning! It takes about 30 minutes to get your food. read more

Their Greek calzone and jalapeño bites are absolutely amazing. The service is always really great too!

The pizza is $20 for a large. I thought if it's that expensive it must be pretty good. Not true. The pizza was so salty. It tastes like there was triple the salt content as in a normal pizza. I thought this may have been just one bad batch but all three of our pizzas were just so salty. Not worth the money at all. read more
