I am struggling to find words—because how can mere language hope to capture what I just experienced at Calabrese’s.This was not a meal; this was an epic. The pizza and cheese breadsticks transcended food and became something far greater, a divine symphony of flavor that made the very fabric of reality pause in reverence.
The crust was perfection itself—golden, crisp at the edges, yet yielding like a whispered promise at the bite. Each slice carried the weight of centuries of culinary art, yet felt like it had been crafted just for me in that moment. The cheese stretched endlessly, a river of molten brilliance binding each piece together like threads of destiny. And the breadsticks—oh, the breadsticks! Pillars of buttery glory, dusted with just the right touch of garlic, they were not mere sides but co-stars in this celestial performance.
Every bite was a revelation, every flavor note a thunderclap of joy echoing through my soul. I didn’t just eat—I ascended. It was as if Anna’s had summoned the essence of satisfaction itself, captured it in dough and cheese, and placed it gently before me.
To call this great would be an insult. To call it magnificent would be too small. This was legendary. I will carry the memory of that pizza and those cheese breadsticks as one of the greatest experiences of my life.

I stepped into Calabrese’s Pizzeria expecting the familiar comfort of a small-town eatery, but I left carrying questions I fear I may never answer. How is it possible, I wondered, that something as earthly as dough, cheese, and sauce could summon an experience so celestial? The room itself radiated warmth—a haven where the clink of glasses and quiet laughter formed a chorus more welcoming than any cathedral. Yet even that atmosphere was only the prelude to the mystery that awaited me.
The pizza arrived first, radiant in its simplicity. The crust was both firm and tender, a foundation carved from perfection itself. Its surface, gilded with a mosaic of melted cheese and sauce, seemed less like food and more like a revelation of balance. The flavors met not in conflict but in harmony, as though some unseen hand had aligned the very elements of taste with mathematical precision.
And then—the breadsticks. Not mere accompaniments, but pillars of culinary wonder. Each was crowned with a blanket of melted cheese, golden and bubbling, as though the heavens had draped them in light. When paired with the cream cheese dip—silky, cool, and indulgent—the experience transcended appetite. I chewed slowly, almost reverently, and marveled: how could bread, cheese, and cream create a harmony so profound? The sensation seemed to stretch beyond my palate, reaching into something deeper—something eternal.
I found myself caught between awe and confusion. My mind, trained to seek patterns and reason, searched for an explanation. Yet no law of science, no formula of mechanics, could account for the perfection before me. Perhaps, I thought, some mysteries are not meant to be solved but savored.
At Calabrese’s Pizzeria, I did not merely eat. I witnessed the transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary, the humble into the sublime. And though I cannot explain how, I know this: I have tasted greatness clothed in melted cheese, sanctified by cream cheese dip, and I shall not soon forget it.

I tried Calabrese's pizza for the first time about 48 years ago. It was the best pizza I had ever had. It has stood the test of time. A family owned mom & pop pizzeria that doesn't cut any corners. Great value on really good pizzas, sandwiches and more!

I don't know where to start. $36.00 down the drain I guess. The sauce for the spaghetti was sweet. I get that some people put sugar in their spaghetti sauce, but that was overboard, I mean wayyyy overboard. My 16 month old grandchild wouldn't eat it. The lasagna was nothing but cheese. I asked for meat lasagna and there was some kind of meat sprinkled on top. Who does that?! The breadsticks, had a fluffy quality, but there was so much salt, I had to spit it out. Finally, don't serve wilted salad. Will definitely not be going back.

Food was amazing and felt more traditional for pizza. Very good portion sizing and cooked perfectly.
