Michael: I love a calzone.
Johnny: Too much for me. I'm a little guy.
Michael: When I greet tables, I'm always telling them to order the calzones. They're as big as your head. It's two meals, it's delicious, and I don't think people eat calzones enough.

It's nice to be reminded that people in the fine dining food world still crave our pizza.
