The fried calzone is a flavorful, crispy pocket originating from Italian cuisine, often considered a more indulgent twist on the traditional baked version. Made from dough filled with rich ingredients like mozzarella cheese, ricotta, marinara sauce, and a variety of meats or vegetables, it is sealed and deep-fried to golden perfection. While it offers a satisfying source of protein and calcium from its dairy and meat components, its deep-fried preparation introduces higher levels of calories and fats. The calzone can be customized with nutrient-packed fillings such as spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for added vitamins and fiber, but the frying process reduces its overall health appeal. A fried calzone is a treat best enjoyed in moderation as a decadent comfort food rooted in Italian tradition.
