      Franky & Bennies for me by a long shot. The Pizza Express one was overpriced for what you got. The calzone had more air than filling.

    For me F&B wins hands down. Every item on the plate outshines the other. Don’t laugh but I’ve never even heard of a calzone till now! I like the look of it. Thanks for this one combo king. 👍

    Hello, EIE
    Wow, Frankie and Benny's calzone was amazingly delicious. The bolognase sauce looked super. The garlic butter dough and salad had me craving. Pizza Express looked OK, but just that. Thank you for a great video. it is always appreciated 😊😊

    Hi from super-sunny Los Angeles 🙋‍♀️
    You surprised me! At Pizza Express, I really thought you would stuff the salad greens into the calzone, pick it up and eat it sandwich style! F&B was deffie the vote grabber today!

    Lovely to see you, a Calzone is a new one on me ! The pizza express Calzone was well presented & i liked the added bacon, the side salad would benefit from having sliced red onion & grated carrot & beetroot added. Very good recommendation with the blood orange san pellegrino this is one of my favourite soft drinks. The Frankie & Benny's Calzone was well presented too! Loved the filling with this & the additional bolognese sauce was lovely, overall this was the better of the 2 meals & more substantial too, so this is the winner for me ! I enjoy eating out & will definitely try a Calzone if seen on the menu. Thank you for sharing this great review, take care 💜

    The second joint wins because they gave you a knife that can cut through the food you ordered. Deep-fried panzerotti over baked calzone for me every time though; can't beat the combination of crispy dough and the oozing melted cheese inside!

    Nduja originates from Spain not Italy. Calzone is pronounced Calzoney. F&B's for me too, cheaper and more care on the plate. I don't consider opening a supermarket bag of rocket and dumping leaves on a plate with no dressing a salad. F&B far superior. And the Calzone looked well made shaped like a Cornish Pasty.

      It's Cal-zone-a. You need to go to a proper good independent Italian restaurant to get a decent one. And you wouldn't get all that other stuff on the plate to try and make it look bigger than it is.

    Never really understood calzone , it's basically a pizza pasty 🤣
    Oddly pizza is finger food but the correct way to eat a calzone is with a knife and fork so maybe food for those that don't like to get messy 😁
    Good comparison but not sure I'd pay those prices.

    It's controversial, but I'd prob prefer Pizza Express.
    Am not really a dough person, or much carbs in general, but in the past, I always enjoyed that precise meal at Pizza Express ~ & I still love rocket salad. F&B's has never appealed to me, but the one here looked clean & calm

  • @rationalbacon5872

  • @swanchamp5136
    @swanchamp5136 8 месяцев назад

    F & B definitely was the better one. With extra sauce and a proper side salad as well, not to mention the calzone looked properly filled.
    The pizza express one looked a bit sad next to it, with a lack of filling and just some rocket and dressing that looked like an afterthought to make it look like there was more to the meal. When you get side salads like that, i think they don't expect you to actually eat it. It's just there for presentation and a bit of a waste of food.

    it is just a pity it can not be weighed. size is hard to judge on screen
    the thing comes it may have less in that than what is put on a pizza
    pepperoni is in aldi for 99p a pack. so it is cheap.
    for pizza express being £20.20. its more than getting a steak. and how many take away pizzas at your local can you buy. you could get 4 Wetherspoons chicken strip burgers and chips and a drink (my local £4.91) it seem a big bit of a rip off paying over £20 for just a pizza for one person..
    when you are really just having a sandwich. how can this be worth £20.20 or £18.30
    it is easy for frankies since its almost £2 cheaper.
    But still think its too much money for what you are getting

    Pizza express not a real calzone. A proper one Needs ricotta and mozz and lots! Where is the marinara sauce? The orange drink looks good though. Fand b same. Looks like a stuffed pizza not a calzone. At least you get a dressed salad and bolognese dip.
