    Pizza with onions peppers, sausage and pepperoni
    John B.

    Food was great. Had one of their make it yourself pizzas which I will now make a staple when I travel to Toledo. Their cider on tap was nice and fruity just like I like it. Their cider service was honestly lack luster and I would have given them a three. My waitress didn't write down my order then couldn't remember it so she had to ask it again. She forgot to get my drink. Etc. just lots of little things. It's the only reason this place got four instead of five stars. Five star food three star service. A bit on the pricy side overall.

    Stubborn bros gave us the wrong pizza and it was burnt. So here we are!

    I had looked at this place before and it just didnt seem impressive to me. Well do to circumstances we ended up here tonight. Located in downtown Toledo across from the ball park in the Dora. They have a small area to eat outside, a small dining and bar area and a back room with pinball. My expectations were kinda low if Im honest. Our waitress was cute as a button and did a good job. They were slammed while we were there. I ordered gin and elderflower cocktail, it was very good and only cost $8. A lot of breweries dont have liquor licenses so I wasn't expecting cocktails. We had the design your own pizza with bacon jam, pineapple and onions. It was delicious and just enough for two people. We saw several tables order the sausage sampler and it looked very good. We may try it on our next visit because we will definitely be back. Our only complaint is there was a hair on our pizza (which seriously seems to happen a lot to us) I just picked it off and it was VERY VERY loud in there. Four stars!

    Greek Pizza, Whiskey Sour and Old Fashioned!

    We had the whiskey sour, old fashioned, wild game board (not pictured), smoked wings (spicy garlic sauce is phenomenal), and Greek pizza. I'm typically not a fan of thick crust pizza but, this one is to die for. Amazing!!! Thank you!

    I love that Detroit style pizza has been popping up everywhere. My husband and I split: - Cheese & Truffle Bread - The Italian - The Gatherer All of it was good. I can't pick a favorite between the pizzas because surprisingly, they tasted almost the same. This was way too much food. The pizzas are huge and the cheese bread is the size of another pizza. You can split one between two people.

    Pepperoni pizza, cheese bread, wings

    Detroit style pizza was excellent as were the wings and garlic bread. Can get loud when busy but worth it.

    Peperoni and mushroom Detroit style pizzs
    Jeff T.

    My wife and I stopped in here shortly after they opened in downtown Toledo. They happened to have a pizza special that night and we ordered a peperoni and mushroom pizza. The pizza is 10x14 in size and was plenty enough for the two of us. It had amazing flavor and the staff was friendly. I recommend this place while in the downtown Toledo area.

    I live about an hour and a half south of Toledo, and after seeing Dave Portnoy's One Bite review of…read moreStubborn Brothers Pizza, it's been on my list of places to try. I haven't had a truly great pizza in Ohio yet--there are more below-average spots than average ones--so I had high hopes for Stubborn Brothers. After finally trying it, I can say it's the best pizza I've had in Ohio so far. I still wouldn't call it "great," but it's a very solid pizza. The standout for me was definitely the crust--that part was great. However, I was disappointed with the sauce; it was pretty bland and didn't taste like it was made from high-quality tomatoes (such as San Marzano tomatoes). On half of the pizza I ordered pepperoni, and again, it didn't strike me as a high-quality pepperoni. In closing, I'm glad I tried Stubborn Brother and would rank it at the top of my Ohio pizza list so far, mainly because of the crust. Next up on my list is Charlie Anderson's place in downtown Cleveland, "Good Pizza" (2057 E 4th Street, Cleveland, OH). To date, the closest and best overall pizza I've found is still "Tomatoes Apizza" in the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills (The original location: 29275 W 14 Mile Rd, Farmington Hills, MI).

There was an entrance at the front but it looked like the locals were going through the back door so we followed suit. When we got in there definitely smelled like deliciousness and client service was pleasant. We ordered the twice baked garlic rolls, as well as a customizable pizza where we added bacon, mushroom, and pepperoni. We ordered a Coke and a Toledo sunrise for drinks. The twice baked garlic rolls were left to be desired. The ends were crispy but the middle just felt soggy. I wish it was actually twice baked. However, the pizza came out with really nice flavour as well as nice bottom crust. Beverages were beverages. Overall sports bar vibes..

Everything is home made, never frozen dough, fresh sauce and ingredients. I've found this spot and I love that you can taste the quality in every bite.

Great pizza, great daily deals and a vast menu of delicious items to choose from. The only thing that would escalate the experience is a dine in experience. Skip going to the overpriced, overproduced pizza chains. Stop at a real local pizzeria with great flavor and real ingredients at a better price.

The toppings are just... Somehow not right. I got sausage, onions, and peppers, and they were all very strange. The sausage is made in house, but the flavors aren't right for pizza sausage. The onions were too sweet, maybe? The green peppers were probably fine but somehow clashed with the onion and sausage. This may have been a cheese problem, because honestly whatever cheese they are using isn't very good. I feel bad leaving a negative review for a local small business, but with all the rave reviews I had high hopes, and this place was almost a total bust.

    Went there Saturday with family and friends. What a great night!…read more Two of us had the lasagna and it was incredible. This isn't the usual lasagna. It's similar to what you know, but different! I bet it had 10 layers. The sauce was definitely made in-house. Not too sweet, not too bitter/sour. The one thing that's different with Calvino's is I couldn't detect or find any ricotta cheese, and I didn't miss it. It was a very generous portion, and it was perfectly cooked. No dry pasta or burned edges. I opted to add some Italian sausage which was the perfect addition. The other person who ordered this added sausage and ground beef and said that his was perfect. Either way, you can't go wrong! Another person at our table ordered the butternut squash ravioli. She was kind enough to let me try a piece and it was absolutely amazing! She ordered it with the olive oil and garlic sauce, which was the perfect pairing. This was as good or better than the butternut squash ravioli at Martini's in Columbus. The pasta had great texture (definitely fresh pasta) and the filling wasn't gluey in any way (this filling can have a tendency for textural issues). I'm definitely ordering it on my next visit! Someone ordered the chicken and pesto sandwich and raved about it. The last person at the table ordered the linguine with olive oil, garlic and mushrooms and again, it was perfection. All entrees were served with bread (ahhhh, those great little nuggets of fresh baked bread, drizzled in butter and sprinkled with cheese...) and a really nice, fresh salad. I would bet that the dressings are all homemade too! From past experience I can attest to the stromboli being outstanding (get the Godfather!)! The pizzas going by the table looked pretty amazing too, but I've not had their pizza. Appearances can be deceiving, but from the looks of the pies and quantity of people ordering them, they have to be pretty great too. Calvino's does not have a full bar, but they do have an extensive wine selection and some nice beers to choose from. If everyone at the table is ordering wine, go for the bottle as it will save you money. They have some really nice, inexpensive wines that pair very well with pasta - you won't break the bank on wine (but you could...)! All in all, it was a great night! The bill for the two of us came to $55.00 (that's including the tip)! The service was great, the food was outstanding - the best Italian meal I've had in Toledo, hands down.
