Sauce on the side was a great find. We were in town for a conference and this was within walking distance from the arch. Very nice looking area, indoor and outdoor seating. A wide variety of canzone options on the menu. It was delicious. I will definitely go here again if I am back in St. Louis!

Service was friendly and the food is cooked to order so it came out nice and hot. My only complaint is that it was a bit chilly in there but otherwise everything was great. I had the cocktail a doodle noodle calzone and it was very yummy, especially with the dipping sauce!

Darah took such great care of me! Huge fan of the strawberry fields salad and I was pleasantly surprised at the relatively small crowd for lunch!

I had really high expectations because I love calzones — the melted cheese usually makes them incredible. Unfortunately, not here.

The food overall was meh, but that’s just my taste. The main issue was the cheese: instead of melted, gooey cheese, they used a cheese sauce. The flavor and texture felt cheap and artificial, and it overpowered everything else inside. Cheese sauce doesn’t melt; it just stays liquid, which made the calzone seem hot even though it was lukewarm.

If you’re expecting a traditional calzone with hot, melted cheese, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you enjoy a cheesy, gravy-like filling, this might hit the spot for you.

On the bright side, the service was excellent — every team member we spoke with was friendly, polite, and attentive.

Excellent take out. High quality, tasty choices. We enjoyed Roasty Toasty and Meat Me in St Louie. We’ll be back when we’re back in town.
