A calzone is a roasted pizza folded over and sealed on one side so that the toppings cannot come out when it is eaten. The word “calzone” means “trouser leg” in Italian because while rolled up they resemble a trouser leg with a cuff at the top. A traditional Italian-style calzone has two layers of dough filled with tomato sauce and cheese baked together into a round loaf.
