The ginormous vegan calzone ($12.65) brings a half-moon filled with peppers, onions, tomatoes, sliced portabellos, vegan cheese and semi-spicy vegetable pepperoni, all accompanied by a roasted-tomato marinara. Lounge a bit longer whilst nibbling on a spicy carrot cake ($4.95) propped up by ample cinnamon and ginger flavors, cream cheese frosting, shaved carrots and sweet berry squiggles.
