How much is a calzone at little caesars

The slices of the Crazy Calzony are interesting. It's not necessarily visible just from looking at it, but each calzone arm is actually cut length-wise down the middle, so you get a slice that includes both the longest and shortest part of the Calzony.

It would not be wrong to say that the calzone portion is just like the chain's Crazy Bread filled with cheese, garlic white sauce, and pepperoni, but it does have a few surprises up its sleeve. For one, with the increased surface area from the folds and the fact that, unlike Crazy Bread, it's not wrapped up in wax paper and put in a bag to steam with its own heat, there's more browning and crispiness to the crust to go with the chewy and fairly uniform crumb (that's the term for the inside part of bread). Like Crazy Bread, you get the same buttery garlic flavor and salty hit of parmesan. The marinara helps to break up the richness if you feel you need it, but I was fine just eating it as is.

Inside the calzone, you get an oozy mixture of cheese and garlic white sauce that offered more stretch and pull than you're typically going to see from one of the Big Four pizza chains. It's a bit thinner and less resilient than melted cheese alone but less runny and more cohesive than just sauce. Furthermore, it's still oozy and gooey at room temperature.

Flavor-wise, there's a generically mild creaminess and saltiness to go with some garlic notes. The julienne pepperoni worked out rather well, as it carried the salty and slightly smoky pepperoni flavor better throughout the calzone portion. Plus, the benefit from having thin slices--the crispiness--isn't ever realized in an enclosed filling.

The pepperoni pizza portion is pretty small but offered the fairly run-of-the-mill pepperoni pizza experience that you get with their Classic Pepperoni Pizza. It can, however, get pretty salty where the calzone meets the pizza, as you can sometimes get a mouthful of pepperoni there.

Overall, Little Caesars Crazy Calzony turned out pretty well (although it seems like a pain to make). Gimmick aside, I liked it most for what I'd call a "Crazy-Bread-plus experience," as I got the flavors of Crazy Bread but with better and a lot more varied textures, as well as a lot more flavors from the sauce, cheeses, and pepperoni. I would note, however, that the buttery sauce leaks from the Calzony quite a bit and could soak through the box in some instances, so be careful where you place it.

Little Caesars has launched another limited-edition novelty item: the Crazy Calzony. According to Little Caesars, this fusion dish is a pizza with a “calzone-like crust filled with garlic white sauce and cheese.” I’ve been a Little Caesars fan for most of my life, so I felt compelled to try this.

The Crazy Calzony is available in pepperoni or cheese. I opted for the former. The pizza portion of the dish is topped with sliced pepperoni, while the calzone-like crust contains julienne pepperoni.

Upon opening the pizza box, I was struck by the Crazy Calzony’s unique aesthetic. It reminded me of a cross boomerang. The calzone crusts were overflowing with cheese and looked quite appetizing. Its aroma was quintessential Little Caesars, but with a heavier presence of garlic.

The pizza segment of the slices tasted exactly as one would expect. If you’ve had a pepperoni pizza from Little Caesars, you already have a good idea of how this tastes. The foundational pizza crust did seem a little thinner than usual, though.

Now, onto the most important part: the calzone crust. With my first bite, a strong garlic flavor immediately jumped to the forefront. I love garlic, so it worked well for me, but it may be overbearing for some people.

Beyond the garlic, the creamy cheese stuffing tasted mildly sweet. Its texture and sweetness reminded me of the ricotta that is generally featured in calzones. The Crazy Calzony’s description states that the crust is filled with “garlic white sauce, cheese and julienne pepperoni.” I imagine that if it contained actual ricotta, the description would say so. The garlic white sauce likely mixes with the cheese to create that ricotta-like texture. Either way, it’s totally tasty.

The julienne pepperoni provides a nice textural contrast. Its mild spice helps to cut the creaminess of the cheesy filling and brings balance to the overall presentation.

Dipping the calzone crust into the included Crazy Sauce continued to elevate the flavor. The acid from the tomato sauce helped to further tame the richness. The outside of the crust was dusted with parmesan and had a mild buttery flavor, which immediately reminded me of Crazy Bread. It was cooked to a perfect golden brown and had the slightest crunch, while remaining airy on the inside. As a whole, it was similar to many calzones that I’ve had.

As far as novelty pizza dishes go, the Crazy Calzony is a winner in my book. Little Caesars nailed the calzone aspect, but it makes me wish they would offer standalone calzones. If you already like Little Caesars, it’s a safe bet that you’ll enjoy it as well. If you’re not a Little Caesars devotee, then no amount of craziness in the crust will change that for you.
