Sauce on the Side — Restaurant in Saint Charles

We really liked Sauce on the Side! The calzones are huge, so go to share or eat bigly. I ordered the Fatty B, with mozzarella, ricotta, roasted garlic, onions, pepperoni, and meatball. The meatball was in slices. A marinara was served on the side. The calzone was served piping hot, with a great buttery crust. Somehow the ricotta was not warmed. If you picture a calzone as a pizza folded in half, the ricotta was where the center of the pizza would be, along the fold. Not sure why it was not as hot as the rest of the calzone. It was still quite good. The rest of the ingredients were kind of like in the middle, which left a lot of the crust empty. This, too, was not a bad thing necessarily. My partner ordered a different calzone, and found the side of marinara too spicy (she is very sensitive to spice). We swapped and it was fine, but there is apparently a different side for each calzone. They have traditional Coke products in cans, and some other bottled and canned drinks, as well as a fountain machine with generic, all natural flavors. They were very tasty. There were desserts, but we were quite full from the entree and passed. The regular flavors on the menu sounded amazing. The staff were very helpful and kept busy cleaning the tables. This is a cool place to get...

I ordered the Fatty B calzone and the Buffalo Chicken bites. Both of which were underwhelming.

I will say that the ranch dressing was delicious and is probably why this wasn't a 2-star review. However, the service (contactless delivery, no knock, and no plastic cutlery was included which was requested because it's a calzone.

The Buffalo Chicken bites didn't taste like they had buffalo sauce or chicken in them but were rather bland, undercooked hushpuppies. I wish I was joking but I'm not. Those things were a 1 star.

The Fatty B calzone was undercooked as well. The mozzarella cheese was melted-ish. You know when the cheese was shredded and melted but you can still clearly see it was shredded? Yeah, that's what happened! You expect for a calzone to be cheesy and melty but it simply wasn't. The other ingredients were really good. The onions seemed fresh and were flavorful! The sauce was decent but wasn't anything to write home about.

I think I'll just leave the sauce on the side and try...

2 stars for this location in St. Charles Missouri. I've been to multiple locations and never had any issues. This one here is junk. It is a bunch of high school kids in there that have no clue what they are doing. The bottom of both my calzones were absolutely raw. This was a pick up order so I got home and placed them in my Airfryer. 10 times better then the first raw bite. I placed an online order and 45 min later I show up expecting to pass the line and grab my online order from the warmer and go. Nope. Waited 10min in line and I finally stopped a girl cleaning tables. She told me wait in line for my order which makes zero sense. Why even place an online order if I have to wait behind the customers that are there ordering. Also I must say she was very unprofessional when I was asking her questions. Wish I would have got her name. Won't be returning to this location and I'll steer my friends away also until they get some quality...
