This week, the 14850 Dining Report is catching up on Ithaca’s calzone shuffle. A corporate merger this spring meant a change for two franchise calzone shops this summer, and the downtown Ithaca D.P. Dough is no more. They had just moved to their new location on West Green Street, but closed at the end of June. All of the existing Calios franchises have been rebranded with the better-known D.P. Dough name, including the Calios on College Avenue in Collegetown.
