Calzones vs Pizza 1
#21723610 - 05/26/15 05:12 AM (8 years, 8 months ago) |
|
|
So the pizza place i work at had an extra calzone at the end of the day that i was able to take home. Its the first calzone ive ever had.
What the fuck is the deal with calzones? Its like every ingredient of pizza in a hard to eat shell that has too much dough.
Theyre actually pretty popular at my restaurant which is why im asking
Does anyone actually prefer calzones to pizza? Seems like the ugly sister...

A calzone is basically just a folded pizza.. In Italy they are a common street food because they can be easily eaten while walking around Maybe your place just sucks at making them.. it shouldn't have too much dough and shouldn't really be hard.

I love calzones, but lets not froget they arent EXACTLY a folded pizza because a proper (american) calzone should have ricotta and the sauce is to the side, not on it.

I vastly prefer pizza over calzone. I just don't 'get' calzones.

That's true.. it's not exactly a folded pizza.. but essentially it is. Usually slightly different ingredients depending on where you get it.
I prefer pizza though

Me and my wife from brooklyn went back to NYC to visit her family. We stayed in a hotel and randomly picked at place to order from. On thier menu they had eggplant calzones. They were 5.99 each. I wasnt expecting much. When they got to our door they were the size of our heads and full of the best fried eggplant, cheese, and red sauce i've ever had in my life. Somehow i dont think an eggplant pizza would have been as good. They can be amazing sometimes IMHO.

Pizza is flat so it only occupies two dimensions vs a calzone occupies three full dimensions, thus you get more value for your money with a calzone. Stromboli > all

The only good thing about calzones is the ability to to closely monitor the amount of sauce. I prefer a pie. Damn, these food threads are making me hungry.

i like heavy, chewy crusts. especially on bread and bagels. thats why i love calzones and peperoni bread
it all depends on your taste really. i still fucking love pizza, but sometimes i'll get a pizza and theres either too much cheese or sauce and a weak ass crust, i'm not into that

don't you guys find milk produced on an industrial level to be a little disgusting? From what I understand, the cows are not fed their natural diet; they're obese; there's such a bad bacterial issue that they constantly put them on antibiotics... And you guys are eating a product made from a fluid produced by these cows. The only dairy i eat is clarified butter that i mail order from a farm that i believe is true to their stated quality standards. You'd have to pay me to walk into a random pizza place and get something from it.

Why would you go into a thread about pizza vs. calzone to post some veganist mumbo jumbo that literally has nothing to do with the conversation? I won't pay you to eat pizza but I'd consider paying you to stop posting.

there was nothing veganist about his point.
he was just pointing out how unhealthy the dairy industry is. Which, is 100% valid.
nothing vegan about it though.

A properly made Calzone or Stromboli should never have sauce on it in it or anywhere near it. And if you're getting doughy calzones it's because the place is using too much dough and not stretching it thin enough.

I wasn't trying to prove you wrong.
I just don't see how you have to be a vegan in order to think dairy is unhealthy.
I stopped drinking milk and consuming most dairy years before I ever made any big changes to my diet in regards to animals.
it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you really look at it. Mammals only drink milk from their mothers until that can eat whole foods and drink water. why are we so different?
aside from the principal of it, most cows in america are terribly unhealthy.
nothing vegan about it. just pure health and logic.

I feel for ya man too many people mistake the tasty grease from the meats that mixes with the ricotta in a calzone as red sauce, Stromboli are a bit drier since there is no Riccotta. but just as tasty. So If you have the chance order one with no sauce.

I had no idea what a calzone was so I looked it up and it's just a panzerotti that's baked. My shit needs to be deep fried, with extra sauce.. Why do all these same things need to have different names anyway?

A panz is more of a puff pastry Than a dough The idea is pretty much the same though. But I don't really care for Panz. The ones I've had were made with filo dough. IMHO too dry

Yeah they can be dry. I make them put the sauce in because of that, I don't get them often anyway. They're a good drunk/trippin food. I would try a calzone but I'd have no idea where to get one around here. I'd probably have to drive an hour or two, lol.

Dude you probably had a crap calzone.
I rarely eat them cause they have so many calories but when I do, my local place makes em from homemade dough with fresh veggies and good meat, a true delight.
Your place probably has the defrosted kind.

Can't we just have both.
For people who don't have any self control when it comes to drugs, it's crazy how many of you are obsessed with eating well and fitness. Either everyone's fat and it's all a charade or you have some fucked up priorities. I don't remember drugs being an important part of the food pyramid but what do I know
