we've been searching for a new pizza place ever since alfredo's sadly went downhill fast, and the other pizza options on foodler so far were lacking, to say the least. we were left a bit gun shy to even bother to keep looking, to be honest. but today J had a craving for a buffalo chicken calzone, and combined with it being a holiday limiting our foodler options, we ended up trying everett pizza place on a whim. given the photos and reviews here i didn't have high expectations, but i have to say we were both pleasantly surprised!
we each got a calzone - he got a large buffalo chicken, and i got a small hawaiian. i also got a small box of jojo's potato wedges based on another yelp review. the food arrived hot and fresh in about 30-40 minutes, and the delivery guy was friendly despite a little confusion on which door to meet me at. both calzones were excellent. *finally* a calzone with real crust - not that paper thin pretzel-y garbage that makes you wonder if you're actually eating the cardboard box instead. a calzone that doesn't flop over when you pick it up and isn't soggy! plus, my hawaiian had real diced ham in it as opposed to that water packed lunch meat stuff. even the tomato sauce on the side was thick and not too sweet, where most places give you canned tomato water. J said the buffalo chicken was really good - he was stuffed after eating more than his share because it tasted so good, he said, and still only got barely halfway through the huge thing. the potato wedges were good, too - i got the four piece and each wedge is enormous. the only let down was i wish i got a little container of cheese sauce as pictured in one of the photos here, but i had some queso at home so i just used that. next time i'll ask in the special instructions - i did ask for blue cheese with the buffalo chicken calzone and they obliged.
so why only three stars? because we've only ordered from here once. i'm certain after this experience we'll order again soon, and if the food quality is consistent and items beyond the calzones are just as good they'll easily earn a fourth star from me.
ETA 7/16: ordered from here a couple more times and calzones have been consistently good. so good i haven't branched out within the menu at all, haha. J is still in love with the buffalo chicken. i tried the bbq chicken which was fine, but i liked the hawaiian much better. i did get the ceasar salad which is HUGE (i was expecting a little side-sized container) and contains nice romaine lettuce, plenty of croutons, parmesan, and the standard pita-with-a-fork-inside. only downside with that order was i ordered a root beer and they sent a pepsi. delivery guys consistently have a hard time following the instructions on how to get to my apartment which is annoying but they're very nice about it and the food is always as it should be when it arrives so could be worse! hopefully they get the hang of it.
