Description[edit | edit source]

Originating in Naples, Italy, the calzone is often misunderstood as a pizza that fell over onto itself. In reality, the calzone is an entirely separate creation that stands apart from pizza.

While pizzas are yeasted flatbreads topped with tomato sauce, cheese and optional meats, vegetables, and condiments, calzones are made from salted bread dough that is instead stuffed with tomato sauce, cheese, meats, and vegetables. Calzones are also much easier to eat thanks to the folded dough that protects the eater's hands from the inner fillings. The two couldn't be more different, despite usually being on the same menu in different restaurants across the world. This trend was heroically challenged with the opening of Rigaldi's Best Original Calzone in 1980, though ultimately the restaurant folded not too long after Famous Original Rigaldi's Calzone & Pizza opened up across the street a year later.

The inventor of the pizza (J. Ulysses Goayaldi) has even gone on record noting that, although he also invented calzones the following day using much of the same materials, the two are completely different and should not be associated in any way whatsoever.

Today, calzones and pizzas are often sold and eaten interchangeably without regard for their rich, diverse history.
