Homemade calzones are a tasty variation on pizza crimped into a handy pizza pocket! They are super delicious and are a handy way to make individual pizzas with less mess.

I remember the first time I ate a sausage calzone at my favorite college hangout and it was so delicious I was hooked for life! I had never heard of calzones before that, but I have often craved them since!

It’s a special treat to have a calzone at you favorite restaurant, but you can make your own homemade calzones for a much lower cost. You can easily let each person choose his or her favorite fillings. These are an easy way to have a pizza flavor on the go!
