Floridino’s Pizza & Pasta: My favorite calzone in the entire Valley. Not only is it huge and delicious, the daily lunch special at this Chandler neighborhood fave is awesome: A two-item calzone and a drink for $5.99.
Spinato’s Pizzeria: Can’t decide between a calzone or pasta at this five-location local chain? Try the spaghetti and meatballs calzone. That’s right. Spaghetti and meatballs in a calzone covered with sauce. Genius.
Brooklyn V’s Pizza: Chef and owner Vito LoPiccolo, who had his own Italian restaurants in New York City for 20 years, now not only makes great calzones, but also their turnover cousin, stromboli, in Gilbert.
Casanova Brothers Pizza: Also in Gilbert, friendly namesake brothers, Michael and Anthony Casanova, operate one of the only Valley pizzerias that offers both baked and fried calzones.
Zappone’s Italian Bistro: It’s hard to choose between the meat (sausage and pepperoni) or veggie (caramelized onions and red pepper) calzones on this under-the-radar Gilbert eatery’s lunch menu.
