A calzone is a savory Italian dish that originated in Naples, resembling a folded pizza. Made from pizza dough, it is traditionally filled with ingredients like mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, and various meats such as pepperoni or ham, along with vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. The fillings are encased in dough, sealed, and baked or fried to golden perfection. While calzones offer a hearty dose of protein and calcium from the cheese and meat, their health aspects depend largely on preparation and portion size. Baked versions tend to be lower in fat compared to fried ones, but the dough and cheese contribute significant carbohydrates and saturated fats. Opting for whole-grain dough and vegetable-heavy fillings can make a calzone a more balanced choice. It’s a comfort food that combines rich flavors with versatility, adaptable to both indulgent and healthier versions.
