This might not be a fair review as I just had the calzone, but I was generally dissappointed with my calzone. I had always wanted to try this place, but never got around to it. I should of just went to Ernesto's for some Mexican next door. The dough was ok, but it costs a buck per toppping (base calzone does not include any toppings, just ricotta cheese and moz). The calzone was a nice size, but was stuffed with tons of moz. I'm not joking, I'd be happy with this, but there was barely any of the mushrooms and sausage i had ordered in there. The moz was also low fat and generally bland... I would of expected some parmesean or some flavor hard cheese to be in there to give it some flavor. I don't know if I have the heart to go back and try a pizza...

The Big Tomato (Miami)
Taste: ****
Cost: $
This has to be one of my favorite pizza joints. It takes the whole California weird pizza toppings to a new level. The pizza isn't quite a deep dish, but the crust is thick with the cheese burnt at the edges. Sometimes it can get a tad greasy, but usually they do it right. My favorite is the tangy thai pie, they use the thai peanut sauce as pizza sauce, layered with gouda, carrots, chicken, jalapenos onions, and other veggies. Its literally like having a slice of a great thai dish. The fabulous philly, baja bbq, and sinful spinach also deserve honorable mention here. I've had every pizza they offer... about twice now. I'd skip the whole wheat crust option though, tends to make the crust taste like airy wheaty bread for some reason. Their salads are great too, served in hollowed out boule bread. The lentil, schezuan, and mexican are all equally great. Supposedly its supposed to be more healthy for you than normal pizza but I don't know how it can be when it tastes this good?
