Jacksonville food lovers looking for a really good calzone or cheesesteak have some truly standout choices.
On the calzone side, popular neighborhood pizza spots serve generous, well‑filled calzones that rival any Italian deli’s, and they’ve earned rave reviews from local diners.
For cheesesteaks, Jacksonville may not be Philadelphia, but several local shops earn high praise — from authentic hoagie‑style rolls to gooey cheese and perfectly cooked steak.
Local foodies frequently mention Moon River Pizza and Carmine’s Pie House as two of the best places for calzones in town.
On the cheesesteak front, Surfwiches is often singled out as the top pick for its authentic steak‑and‑hoagie offerings, while Eddis & Sons gets repeated praise from locals for its true Philly‑style cheesesteaks.
