Presto Calzone Bakery

Such a great discovery! Me and my wife decided to try out this new place, we love Italian food and it sounded like a really good place by the reviews I read. Service was great they very friendly and helpful. We tried a chicken pesto and a combo calzone and we loved them, not to mention the Italian sodas I had a peach and cream and it was awesome. We loved the idea that they care about their ingredients being of good quality and organic. For dessert we had cookies and they were fresh and delicious too. We’ll definitely come back and recommend this place to friends and family.

First time here, service is great. Friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing. Had the sausage and pepperoni calzones and definitely satisfied me. Would certainly recommend this place. Check this new family restaurant out. You won’t be disappointed!

I always love supporting a local business, and Presto Calzone Bakery doesn’t disappoint. My family and I have eaten here and taken things to go many times. One of the things I love most about this place is that they use the freshest organic and non-​GMO ingredients whenever possible. Although local produce is not the easiest to come by in Las Vegas, they buy it when they can. The calzones, pizza, and baked goods (cakes and cookies) are delicious! I hope they do well so they stick around!

its good. its clean. its safe. its tastey. Feels like a family restaurant run by people not businessmen. We always end up with crème soda and crazy cools straws.

Always on point you must go when the owner is there she’s the best with customer service and all around running this shin dig!
Just walked in and was craving cookies with my girlfriend and she gave us fresh cookies!
So amazing and so delicious!
Don’t pass this place up!
Update review,
Always good never fails! So fresh and home made everything their sodas are yummy!
Many diff flavors to choose from and combinations!

If you’re craving a calzone, this is a great place to get one! Great dough and quality ingredients, friendly service and everything is homemade. At $ 7, you pay a very reasonable price for what you get and its more than enough to fill you! I like that they offer craft sodas, other than your typical fountain sodas. Homemade desserts look great too! A nice place to shake up your routine a little bit.

The food is awesome here. They use quality ingredients including non-​GMO unbleached wheat and they locally source their fruits and vegetables. You can definitely taste the quality of products in the Calzones and yummy desserts.
My favorites are the Pepperoni and Jalapeño Calzones and fresh garden salad, but all the items i have tired have been great. Every dessert I have tired has been very flavorful and great tasting.
Seating is limited but it’s a great environment. Very hip, cool and now. The staff and owners are very friendly, warm and helpful. They also have carryout and delivery. Pricing is on point and very affordable.
If you haven’t tried this place I would definitely recommend that you do. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do if not more and will be a regular just like we are. So happy they are just right down the street from work.

Well done, crispy outside, sauce very flavorful. The shop itself is small, tucked away, very quaint with the menus written up on butcher paper on the walls.
My wife discovered this place on maternity leave, and probably within a month we went there 3 – 4 times. I haven’t even tried the rest of the baked goods because frankly the calzones are amazing, and more than enough.
Each calzone is a good price for what is essentially a personal size one. Think a Hot Pocket on steroids with all fresh ingredients.
*edited for spelling.

Cute place, yummy calzones but nothing really special. They have cute desserts, yummy popsicles and some classic soda pop. The Owner was in back the whole time working and her female co worker wasn’t too into customer service.
They had stamp cards at the resister but didn’t offer it to me.
I really like to support my local businesses, but, Probably won’t be back anytime soon.

Okay. So here’s the deal. My wife and I came by here a few months ago when we were visiting Algoberto’s next door. We checked the place out and bought some homemade cookies. We decided we were going to go back and try their food.
Sadly we forgot for a while (it is kinda tucked back in the shopping center). We recently received a flyer for this restaurant and it reminded as we wanted to go back, so we did.
We just finished eating. The food is amazing! It is very fresh. They have pizzas and calzones. The calzones are their specialty. You can order them to go order them to take home and bake or he them at the restaurant. We got a combination and it was amazing! We ordered a box of 6 calzones to take home with us for the family
They have fresh homemade cookies as well. We got a peanut butter cookie and a ginger doodle. We also got some specialty sodas. I tried the banana cream soda. It was pretty damn good.
Even better than the food is the service. The owner is very sweet and helpful.
Finally I have to mention the added fun details that this place has. They have old fashion paper straws and wooden utensils and paper bags and specialty Italian sodas and a lot of other small details that really make a difference.
Give them a try. You’ll be glad you did.

Tucked away in a quiet strip mall in the Northwest. Presto Calzone can definitely be considered a hidden GEM. The quaint little restaurant only has seating for about 10 people. The décor is very clean and simple design, from the butcher paper menu roll, to the chalk board dessert menu you can tell that the creativity and individuality is in abundance in this small space.
On the wall they have the fresh but ready made calzone menu on the wall with the daily features. Looks like 5 offerings a day stuffed with your favorite pizza combinations like a meat lovers, a combo, a Canadian bacon and pineapple plus the buffalo chicken and the balsamic. All ingredient combo’s sounded delicious but I went with the Combo which was stuffed with pepperoni, housemade sausage, salami, green pepper, mozzarella cheese, stuffed in side a nice hand tossed dough with a buttery topping and a hint of cornmeal for ease of exit from the oven. A few short moments went by and my calzone was delivered to the table. At first glance I thought to my self this is going to be amazing just by the look. Looks were not deceiving here every last bite was amazing including the marinara dipping sauce that accompanied the calzone.
For my drink I decided on one of the house made Italian sodas with 30 different flavors to choose from. You can pick more than one if you like and also add some cream for more richness. I tried Blood Orange with Mango and cream and it was yummy. The two flavors paired nicely and did not overpower one another. The slightly sour from the blood orange balanced nicely with the sweetness of the mango.
For dessert I tried one of there housemade apricot popsicles. These area seasonal offerings so they change flavors often. Other choices available were spicy pineapple which caught my attention but I was planning on sharing with the little one so that choice was off the table. You could taste the fresh fruit natural flavor encased inside this frozen block.
I will be back very soon to Presto Calzone Bakery. The service was friendly and helpful. I like the eco-​friendly and sustainable wooden utensils and the paper straws. These people are doing it right. The ingredients are real and fresh and put together within the four walls of this little space. I might even go back for seconds tonight for dinner. It was that good. Presto Calzone also carries take and bake pizza’s, and little pies for dessert. Give them a try you will not be disappointed.

I have had Presto Calzone Bakery on my Bookmarked Restaurants to try for awhile now. I was excited to find it was only a mile away from my house! It’s tucked away and would not have found it otherwise (Thanks Unilocal!!), a hidden gem! Upon entering my family and I were greeted very warmly. We were asked if we had ever eaten there before and had everything explained to us. They have 30 flavors of Italian sodas to pick from, homemade desserts and by far the BEST calzones I’ve ever had! Everything is made from natural ingredients. Time for some individual reviews!
Customer service ⁵⁄₅ They are the very attentive and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Even waited while we tasted our Italian sodas to make sure we liked them! Top Notch!
Cleanliness ⁵⁄₅ This place is eat off the table clean. I like the spacious feeling when I walk in. No clutter. Everything is spread out. love it!
Italian Sodas ⁵⁄₅ My husband had the Cherry flavor and I had Kiwi. DELICIOUS!!!
Calzones ⁵⁄₅ I had a custom calzone made. Provolone/​Mozz/​red sauce/​chicken/​artichoke hearts/​spinach. It was the bomb-​diggity! Soft, non-​greasy bread (bread is hand-​made in restaurant), all the ingredients were fresh! My husband and daughter loved theirs as well. Husband had the Pesto chicken and Daughter had the Pepperoni.
Chocolate Des Leches– OMG, we ate this before our calzones came (backwards day) and it was perfect!!! They give you little wooden sporks to eat it with, very nice touch!
Tips!!!
**We received our Chocolate Des Leches for FREE by checking in on Unilocal!
**Also, they give you a cute little stamp card. Every 5 calzones you purchase, you get the 6^th free!
**You can call your order in ahead and pick it up!

For the BEST, FREAH, HAND MADE, LOCAL PRODUCE using restaurant for CALZONES and TASTY, OUT OF THIS WORLD HAND MADE DESSERTS, you have to come here! Blanca and Chrystal are THE BEST! Believe me, you won’t be sorry, even if you have to make a little ‘road trip’ to come up to the Northwest end of the valley to try it!
Tell them TAMARA and KATHIE recommended them… they’ll get a kick out of that (nope, we don’t gain a thing out of you using our name… other then sharing Las Vegas’s newest best kept secret with our friends and family!!)

+1 super sweet service
+1 variety of fresh entrees and desserts
+1 really good prices for the portion and quality
+1 free dessert with Unilocal check in!
At any given time, this place has four to eight fresh-​made calzone options available, and a similar number of fresh-​baked dessert goods. Trekked out of my way to try this place out, and I’m very glad I did!
Friendly staff recommended their favorite calzones and informed me of their pizza and Italian sodas available. Redeeming my Unilocal check in for free dessert was quick and painless, I opted for the lemon cookies and they were divine.
But those calzones! Huge portion for $ 6 price tag, packed with ingredients. Tried the employee favorite, chicken & pesto and loved that it included spinach and artichokes. The garlic veggie was a filling portion of healthy ingredients wrapped in a sinful amount of dough. Buffalo chicken was interesting– I’m thinking they added it upon request but I’m not sure I’d get it again.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer raining on this parade, but I don’t understand the hype surrounding Presto’s. The bakery itself is small and bare. There’s only 3 tables and a few bar stools inside. I think they’re striving to be more to-​go based than be a dine-​in restaurant (especially with the roll out of their take-​home pizza menu).
Presto’s was freezing. The bubbly employee apologized and explained that the heater was broken. After ordering our food, two men stood next to our table discussing the heater problem and fire alarm implications. Kind of awkard.
As mentioned before in another review, the menu is limited, although it is expanding. Calzones are $ 6. There’s only 2 vegetarian options: 1) a plain ‘ol cheese and marinara calzone; 2) the garlic and parmesan calzone, which is filled with mushrooms, spinach, cheese, and white sauce. I wasn’t ecstatic with my options, but I went with option #2. I added a side of marinara for an extra buck.
It took about 20 minutes to get our order. BTW we were the only ones there. As least we got to sip on the best Italian soda ever while we waited. Seriously, Presto’s custom made Italian soda deserves a beverage award. The soda was the highlight of our visit. $ 2 is a bargain for a cup of Presto’s magical soda. And there’s 30 flavors to choose from! I went with lime — I’d definitely recommend it.
But I digress. You can’t visit a calzone bakery just for the soda. The calzones are small, but for $ 6, you have to assume they’re going to be small. My garlic parmesan calzone was alright, not epic but not horrible either. My favorite part was the crust. To my dismay, there was just the slightest bit of onions in the calzone. There was no mention of onions on the menu, so I didn’t expect there to be any in my calzone. Those little crunchy clear bastard onions are the bane of my existence!
Still hungry, the Mister and I started working on the German chocolate cake we had ordered ($ 3). The coconut frosting on top lacked the ooey gooey factor and the cake was dry. I wish it was sweeter too. Ugh. We ate about half of it, and called it quits (and it wasn’t because we were full!).
Here’s the short and simple version :
Atmosphere: 2
Italian soda: 5+
Customer service: 4
Garlic parmesan calzone: 3.5
German chocolate cake: 1
PRO TIP: They’re on
!
Worth a return visit? Probably not, at least for now.
What would make me like Presto’s better? A calzone more enticing to vegetarians. Like one with olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, lots of cheese, and marinara sauce. Basically more veggies. Also, a more decorated and exciting layout would help. With color.
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #01

I rode my bike here one afternoon after playing with the animals at Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary and was so impressed, that I biked here again the following day craving a refreshing Italian soda. Presto reminds me of an empanada bakery, with the main difference being their housemade pizza dough. Everything is made here, with an emphasis on using quality ingredients. Some of the baked treats feature in-​season produce picked from Gilcrease Orchard about a mile away.
The Presto veggie calzone arrived hot, filled with mozzarella, spinach, mushrooms, and white sauce (bechamel), and delicious with a side of tomato sauce for dipping. Italian sodas are available from a long list of flavors with or without cream. The hibiscus and melon sodas were both tasty and not too sweet.
Don’t leave without a cookie, crumble, or other dessert. The housemade popsicle with cajeta has a rich goat’s milk flavor that’s worth the trip to this local gem, even if you don’t live in Centennial Hills.
