When we heard that Sauce on the Side rolled out a new “taste two” deal letting you mix and match a mini calzone, small salad or bite sides, we knew it was the perfect excuse to revisit one of our favorite spots.
In the calzone lineup, the Duke still reigns supreme in our hearts. Loaded with barbecue chicken, applewood bacon, corn salsa, smoked cheddar, mozzarella, a drizzle of smoky chili oil, and served alongside some of the best barbecue ranch in town, it’s delicious and quite rich, so adding some veggies to the meal allows you to indulge without going overboard.
To balance things out, the Strawberry Fields salad brings a burst of freshness with spring mix, strawberries, feta, red onion, sage, mint, a generous handful of candied walnuts and a white balsamic vinaigrette. Pro tip: Add roasted chicken for a little extra protein and staying power.
What started as a local favorite has turned into a regional sensation, with nearly a dozen St. Louis-area locations and two more in Indianapolis.
