So, there was this military base, I spent time on, where the sun rises are breathtaking. But as a…read moremiddle schooler, the idea of of leaving America and being in, what's essentially, a small town, surrounded by foreign culture and people at a young age, I felt pretty alone and left to figure it out.
That's when Dragon Ball and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shaped my resilience to overcome adversity. My choice of foods was heavily influenced by my choice of entertainment.
Japanese foods was all the rage, Ramen and Gyoza, to this day, everything tastes like store bought. But that not what I am reviewing.
There was a place I could go to for school lunch and snack before riding a bus to the separate Base for American families that forever shaped my love for pizza!
I freaking LOVE pizza! And at this place, they had a Hamburger Pizza that would disappear just as soon as it's delivered.
So, whenever my brother and I would order one, we would quickly grab two slices and make a sandwich. Or what modern society would have you call, "Calzone." Only way to make sure I could get at least 4 slices
I've been reviewing pizza places that were not well known in my neighborhood, and stumbled upon an establishment that specifically makes Calzones.
In my head, I thought, get the H-E-double hockey sticks out of here! That's quite a claim when someone says they are a specialist. That means, at the very least, exceeding expectations is average for the specialist.
So... yeuah, I tried it.
Let me start by saying I had it delivered.
When someone says the ingredients are fresh and you can taste the harmony of the intentions of chef's menu in what they serve. From my understanding, this means your first bite separates the ingredients and then mingles and joins together to heighten a new flavor.
Did Calzone Life achieve this? I would say they were pretty close, but what made them worth a second try, was there evenly cooked end results that had the amazing crunch with creamy smooth filling topped with (bread crumbs sprinkles, I am not sure but what the H-E-double hockey sticks in a good way!)
You can tell each Calzone is prepared with care and they want you to love it and grow to want it. My ordered was delivered quickly, but to my disappointment, the food was hot and ready, but so was my KitKat ice cream. LoL.
That was poorly thought out in terms of delivery. Maybe a bag or something that blocks heat and keeps cold in? I loved that I didn't have to request Parmesan sprinkles and red pepper flakes. But the food, decent enough, I actually ended up forgetting to use them.
Overall, Calzone Life knows how to make a pizza pie. ANnnnnnd... if you order for delivery, it's pretty darn good, plus who wouldn't get won over with Ice Cream delivery.
The pepperoni and 3-4 cheeses were really good and the pesto dipping sauce. Paired together the sauce wins. So, little dips instead of the Michael Jordan slam dunk method, so, the food doesn't just taste like the sauce.
Thanks for the nostalgic childhood memory reminder. Calzone Life brought me back, so, all kinds of appreciation for a good dinner and breakfast.
