And the calzone was born!!
Love a good calzone! A pizza place not far from me does a great one...it is a small pizza folded over, and I have them fill it with pepperoni, sausage, hamburg, black olives, mozzarella, ricotta, peppers and mushrooms.
It is a couple days worth of food. And if you like cold pizza the next day, try cold calzone...
So, Calzone is Italian for pizza dropped on the floor?
That looks good.
I have actually never had a calzone.
That’s a meal-and-a-half!
One of the areas best Italian restaurants (truly Italian), closed after many years, had a unique calzone that I preferred over any pizza.
The crust was in a roll with the ends closed, not the half moon shape that is normally called a calzone. And it was a delicious, crispy, crunchy crust.
Inside it had all the traditional stuff but included pepperoni - and you could add anything you wanted just like on a pizza.
I have yet to find one like it at any Italian restaurant anywhere....so sad......
Too much dough. I prefer pizza.
I grew up in Brooklyn and never had calzone with anything but cheese in it. In fact I never saw a calzone with anything BUT cheese until I moved to Delaware. Couldn’t get it there with only cheese so I learned how to make them myself!
