According to Little Caesars, this fusion dish is a pizza with a \u201ccalzone-like crust filled with garlic white sauce and cheese.\u201d I\u2019ve been a Little Caesars fan for most of my life, so I felt compelled to try this.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Upon opening the pizza box, I was struck by the Crazy Calzony\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>The pizza segment of the slices tasted exactly as one would expect. If you\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lccrazycalzony2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Little Caesars Crazy Calzony Cheese\" title=\"lccrazycalzony2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s description states that the crust is filled with \u201cgarlic white sauce, cheese and julienne pepperoni.\u201d 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\u2019s totally tasty.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lccrazycalzony3.jpeg?resize=600%2C639&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Little Caesars Crazy Calzony Dip\" title=\"lccrazycalzony3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"639\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lccrazycalzony4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Little Caesars Crazy Calzony Bite\" title=\"lccrazycalzony4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s a safe bet that you\u2019ll enjoy it as well. If you\u2019re not a Little Caesars devotee, then no amount of craziness in the crust will change that for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $8.49<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> N\/A<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 pizza) 2650 calories, 123 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of trans fat, 50 grams of saturated fat, 245 milligrams of cholesterol, 6010 milligrams of sodium, 256 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of fiber, 15 grams of sugar, and 109 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Caesars has launched another limited-edition novelty item: the Crazy Calzony.
