Meat Lovers Calzone

At Anthony’s Italian Restaurant in DeLand, our Meat Lovers Calzone is the ultimate creation for those who crave bold, hearty flavors and authentic Italian comfort food. This delicious, oven-baked specialty takes everything you love about our famous pizzas and wraps it inside a perfectly golden crust for a meal that’s as satisfying as it is flavorful. Each calzone is handcrafted to order, filled with premium meats, creamy cheeses, and that unmistakable Anthony’s touch that keeps our guests coming back for more.

We start by rolling out our fresh pizza dough, made daily for the perfect balance of crispness and chew. Inside, we layer an irresistible combination of Italian meats — pepperoni, ham, bacon, sausage, and sliced meatballs — each one bringing its own rich, savory flavor. Together, they create a perfectly seasoned, meaty filling that makes this calzone a true feast. To complement the bold flavors of the meats, we add a generous amount of ricotta cheese, giving the filling a smooth, creamy texture that melts beautifully as it bakes. Then, we add mozzarella cheese, which brings that classic, gooey stretch and mild flavor that ties everything together perfectly.

Once sealed, the calzone is brushed with olive oil and baked until the crust is golden brown, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. Every bite bursts with cheesy, meaty goodness, delivering a perfect balance of textures and flavors that make it one of Anthony’s most popular menu items. Served hot and fresh from the oven, our Meat Lovers Calzone pairs wonderfully with a side of our signature marinara sauce for dipping, adding an extra layer of flavor and authenticity.

Whether you’re dining in or taking it to go, the Meat Lovers Calzone is the perfect choice for anyone who loves hearty Italian flavors and generous portions. It’s a true expression of Anthony’s passion for quality, tradition, and bold, unforgettable taste — a must-try favorite for meat and cheese lovers in DeLand.
