Big portions! Will be back to try the different flavors of the mac and cheese. Tried the Italian calzone, tasted better with the flavored oil that came with it. Not sure what was in the oil though. The four cheese Mac was okay, not too flavorful.

They need to invest in better utensils, my fork broke in my calzone twice, and my calzone didn’t have much on the insides, especially for it being the “Giant”. Their macaroni is mediocre at best. It’s a cute little place, and the employees are nice and friendly, but I don’t see myself coming here again.

Such a great find!! Cute little place with delicious food! Everyone working there was very nice and friendly. We got a calzone and mac and cheese with parm stick app. Everything was fresh and tasted great! They even had a few games to play while waiting for your food. We will definitely be back!

Good spot. Certainly not health food, but quite tasty and you can always bring home leftovers. A lot of unique options. Counter service with lots of tabletop games to play with while you wait. It's a little rowdy sometimes because of kids, but that's to be expected with so many games.

I ordered lunch from here recently and thought it was great. The online ordering process was incredibly easy and clear. I did a build-your-own calzone and ordered the giant size, which was only $3 more than the individual size. I am not sure how big an individual one would have been, but the giant one was easily two meals for me. I enjoyed my selection very much, and there are lots of other combinations I want to try, as well as the build-your-own mac. I work close by, thought the food was delicious and a good value, and I will definitely be back!

Delivers on the name. I had the traditional macaroni and Italian calzone. The calzone was a bit heavy on the breading versus the stuffing, but it was still tasty. The macaroni and cheese was on point! I would recommend to others.

Great calzones and decent cheese curds that are much better than Culver's but just under some I tried in Madison, WI.This eatery is a quiet place with good service. It's workers are nice people. We're eating from here again.

Found this gem six years back, and we continuously keep going back! It’s the only place I know of where you can make your own calzone and macaroni! Food is great, and so is the ambience. They have a few table board games that you can play as well.

The gluten free pasta is amazing. the consistency of the pasta is good, and I love that it's baked with cheese. The gluten-free calzone is OK. I prefer the pasta, but it is nice that they offer the calzone in a gluten-free option. I just found the dough a bit dry and somewhat lacking flavor, but I'm not penalizing them for it. It's tough to make a good gluten-free dough, and I'm happy they have a gluten free option for the calzone!

The atmosphere is very welcoming and lively. The menu is super expansive and full of many different flavors. The chicken lettuce wrap appetizer was satisfyingly fresh and savory.

Calzone & Macaroni Co. is a favorite treat with my family. Everything is delicious. Try the Bacon Apple Mac & Cheese. *chef's kiss* Delicious!

The mac & cheese, and all the combos that you can get with it are amazing! Great food, reasonable prices. I try to stop in whenever I am in the area.

Some great combos for Mac and calzones. Priced right that you can try a few each time!

I've been here twice and enjoyed everything I got both times. I ordered a lot of different things to try both times and really liked everything I tried. This most recent visit, I got the snacker combo, which had a small pesto chicken calzone (still a very generous size) and a mini mac and cheese with bacon and apples (really generous size as well). I really enjoyed the sweetness of the apples mixed with the mac and cheese. It was not a combination that I would have thought to mix on my own, but it was really good. I also tried the salty sweet scraps, which was a huge portion!! It was kind of similar to breadsticks, but instead made of the scraps from the calzone dough and had a cheddar sauce on it with sweet and salty spices.

I really thought I'd reviewed this spot before, I've certainly been here enough times. The place itself is inviting, with a visible kitchen you so you can sew the pizza oven and several little games you can use to kill time. They mostly do calzones and macaroni, but have other options as well. I always get the snacker combo, which comes with a small calzone and Mac of your choice as well as a fountain drink. It's all delicious but I usually get the Philly calzone and the Mediterranean Mac. Honestly you can go wrong, but if nothing appeals you can always customize with whatever toppings you like. They only lose a point for their fountain drink selection, which is very limited. Diet doctor pepper but no regular? Very odd Choice. It's a small issue that won't make or break your experience, but I'd like to see them improve that with a bigger machine with more options. Eat in or to-go, you'll enjoy your food either way, so I'd definitely recommend trying them out.
