I ordered the Iceman with pesto. It was exactly everything a calzone should be. Perfect amount of ingredients on the inside and the crust on the outside crisp and thin. I love calzones but always thought that there was always more doe then needed. THIS PLACE HAS THE RIGHT AMOUNT! Perfect amount of food, perfect taste, and they are open late. Highly recommend. (And agree with atmosphere written above!!)

This place is awesome, my man and I love to go to watch a flick and eat some delicious gluten free calzones for lunch.

Wow... The bread of these calzones is amazing. I'd eat that on its own but add the fillings and it's ambrosial.

I went into Afterburner for the first time recently and even though I had never been there before Ben the owner recognized me right away and made me feel instantly welcome. The place is clean comfortable and you can tell there is real pride behind what they do.
I will be honest I am a very simple eater. I am the plain cheese pizza with a little basil type of guy. I had never even had a calzone before this. Trying new things has always made me nervous because change is scary especially with food I already know I like. But Ben really opened my eyes. He encouraged me to try things on the menu that I never thought I would like. He explained what different ingredients taste like what other people enjoy and what his favorites are. In the end he was right about everything. I should have known since he owns the place.
While my food was cooking we ended up talking for a while. He gave me some genuinely good life advice and things to think about. That alone made the experience feel different from anywhere else on Broadway.
I would come back not only because the food is a solid 10 out of 10 but because you have someone there who actually cares and wants you to enjoy what you are eating. Honestly Afterburner is the perfect spot to grab a cold beer before going out on a date. If you have those pre date jitters talk to Ben or anyone working there. They will calm you down hype you up and maybe even recommend a calzone so you do not end up stumbling over your words later.
Broadway has a lot of bars. Great bartenders are easy to find. What is rare is finding a place with an owner who is this understanding welcoming and genuinely invested in people. That is what stood out to me the most at Afterburner.
Highly recommend.

The owner was extremely personalable and friendly. I came here for Halloween and had the opportunity to sit right at the front and watch everyone walk by in their costumes. They even had a heater pointed on you to keep you warm. The food was delicious, and I noticed the bread from the calzones was made there on the spot. The food was a little slow to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait.
Great place to get a calzone and kids 12 and under eat free!! Lotta sauces. Ben is rad. We’ll be back.

First time coming in since moving to the neighborhood. Had been wanting to try this place for a while. Best calzone in Denver? My group and I came to the conclusion that this must be the only calzone place in Denver. Was not impressed with how the calzones came out — though filling, they were subpar in taste. Guy behind the register was very condescending towards my whole group, not the welcoming atmosphere known around the rest of Broadway. Would not recommend for someone to try, unless you want to be talked down to and patronized.
Edit/response to owner: As I mentioned above, it was our first time coming in. Shocked that you’re still in business with the way you treat new patrons. Discounted prices can’t fix the way you treat people coming in.

Just ordered seven of these calzones, one gluten free. They were all so good. I haven’t had a gluten-free calzone ever, the last time I had a calzone was like four years ago, so that was super awesome! Pricing definitely is not bad, and they’re big and I’m super full! Full and happy!

First time today, battling a hangover. Was impressed. Damn good calzone, creative concepts, great prices (actually lowered them recently, which is how I discovered this place), and entertaining responses to ridiculous reviews over cilantro. Will be back often.
