Pizza calzone

If you haven’t tried calzone pizza yet, be sure to do so, especially since it is very simple to prepare it. This indoor snack cake was once invented in southern Italy, and to this day, the authorship of the recipe is disputed by the Sicilians, Apulians and Neapolitans. But be that as it may, the dish has a number of advantages over regular pizza. Firstly, the filling of the calzone is more juicy, as it is "hidden" between the layers of the dough. Secondly, such pizza stays hot longer. Finally, thirdly, the calzone is simply more convenient to take with you, to work or for a walk, and it is easier to eat. Agree, it sounds convincing! We suggest making pizza calzone with meat and mozzarella. Delicious, satisfying, very aromatic!
