Schlotzsky's is teaming up with NSYNC's Joey Fatone to launch the Fatone Calzone, an Italian-inspired calzone with ham, salami, cheese and marinara dipping sauce. The LTO will be available at the chain's 350 locations during the month of February, sparking Fatone to temporarily change his name on social media to "Joey Calzone." He's also challenging his followers to change their last names to calzone.

"At Schlotzsky's, we're all about making sure our ingredients are fresh and our menu items deliver craveable flavor," Tory Bartlett, chief brand officer at Schlotzsky's, said in a company press release. "That's why we prepare our made-from-scratch dough for our delicious calzones every morning and why we're so excited to name Joey Fatone our new Italian Ambassador. It's originality that moves our brand forward, and Joey embodies originality like no other."
