Joe's Pizza Stone — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

I stopped by around 10 PM on Sunday, hungry and craving a donair. I order a jumbo, pay and as I'm sitting down the cook comes around the corner asking for me. I walk up and he says he can't make a donair due to bacon on the grill...

But he can make me a donair calzone.

Now, I've had calzones before but...a donair calzone? He assures me that if I don't like it I can get my money back. So I said sure, why not! Fortune favours the bold!

I get the box, head home and crack it open to reveal a beautiful golden fried calzone. I pick away at the calzone and the crust is fluffy, almost pastry like with a flavour of buttery goodness.

And the flavor of the calzone was...good! Odd...But good! The donair meat was intertwined with cheese, tomatoes and red onion. The calzone was filled to the brim with sweet sauce. They were not skimping on the ingredients in this calzone.

However, there are two minor problems I have with the donair calzone...

The calzone crust/pastry would be perfect with a traditional calzone (marinara, pepperoni), but with the donair calzone I felt it overwhelmed and clashed with the donair meat. A pita is great on a donair because it takes a backseat and makes the meat, sauce, onions and tomatoes the star of the show. It acts as a vessel. The calzone crust here was competing for the attention of my tastebuds and made it difficult to really taste the donair meat seasoning.

I have been farting nonstop since ingestion of the calzone. No nausea or upset stomach...but I have been letting out some of the strongest/loudest farts I've ever had in my life which also includes university where I would play Edward Forty Hands and eat dozens of McDoubles afterwards. I began timing it and it is a loud fart every 3-5 minutes since Monday morning at 8. It is now 3 PM.

Overall what I had tasted good. I'd recommend getting an actual donair with pita or a regular calzone with pepperoni and marinara but if you want to rip farts that would make Rupert Gint from his critically acclaimed film "Thunderpants" blush...get the...

I specifically told them I couldn’t order “hot wings”. They suggested “honey”, so I agreed. They were very hot. The manager would do nothing about this. They have lost a potential once a week customer. Joe contacted us through email and we were given another meal to try them out. He understood why we were upset. After a few emails we decided to reorder. It was arranged for same order with a wing that would not be spicy. Our son and family came to dinner so we ordered an extra large pizza and wing deal for them as well. When I called the person did not know about the redo, thankfully someone else finally remembered. My husband picked up our order at 6 as arranged. Our medium pizza was supposed to be all pepperoni and bacon with mushrooms on half. My husband has an illness where mushrooms are a no for him. Of course the whole pizza was covered in mushrooms. The wings were excellent. The manager called realizing the mistake and drove over the correct pizza to our house. Food was good, family enjoyed the wings, just wish it had all gone off without a hitch. Thanks Jo for trying to...

WOW we ordered pizza here for the first time!

OMG you have to try this place out: super polite and friendly staff Great value $22 for a XL three topper The taste was super fresh apparently he uses home made bacon bits WOW So good The pizza sauce was very fresh as well tell it’s not the cheep stuff Crisp crust so tired of soggy pizza crusts And best part is the first pizza was not to his high expectations (a little over cooked but could hardly tell most places would have shipped it off anyways) so he made a new one and when we got there he had 2 pizzas waiting and only charged for the second one

Super cool guy Joe is had a 20 minute convo about life and business in Grande Prairie
