An Italian dish, calzones are combinations of cheese, meat and vegetables in a pizza dough pocket. Calzones are often stuffed with toppings that would go on a pizza, such as pepperoni, sausage, and Provolone cheese. It is then served with marinara sauce for dipping.
Popularity
Once prepared, Calzones are easy to carry and eat with very little mess. This fact makes them a popular item at Italian lunch counters and pizza kitchens. Much like pizza by the slice, calzones can be pre-made and simply heated up in a pizza oven when ordered. Calzones are also popular for their wide variety of flavors and ingredients.
