A Pepperoni and Cheese Calzone is a delicious stuffed Italian dish made by folding pizza dough over a savory filling of sliced pepperoni, melted mozzarella cheese, and often a touch of marinara or ricotta. Originating in Naples, Italy, calzones are a portable twist on traditional pizza. The golden, baked crust provides a satisfying crunch, encasing the rich, gooey filling. While it’s a comforting and flavorful option, this calzone can be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats due to the processed meats and cheeses. On the positive side, the crust supplies energy-rich carbohydrates, and the cheese offers valuable protein and calcium. For a healthier variation, whole-grain dough, reduced-fat cheese, or added vegetables can boost its nutritional value. Perfect as a treat or hearty meal, its balance of crispy exterior and savory contents continues to make it a favorite among Italian-inspired dishes.
