My entire family, aged 18 months to 29+ loved this recipe. I used canned pizza dough and fresh spinach instead of frozen. This was easy and delicious. An earlier reviewer suggested brushing egg whites on top, and it did add a nice shiny glaze to the calzone. This one is a great master recipe for a calzone. I can't wait to make it again.

This recipe was ok but it was nothing to rave about. Followed the recipe except for using pizza crust. Dipping them in spaghetti sauce made them better.

Definitely needs more bread, less filling, and more flavor.

Very yummy and easy! We used Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough (2 tubes) for the crust and had enough for 4 people to eat two meals.

Filling was delicious! Dough was very bland. Maybe next time I'll sprinkle salt and parmesan cheeese on top before baking it.

Fantastic - family loved it. I used whole wheat dough from the bakery at the supermarket (healthier). I substitued green peppers for spinach on my daughter's request. I would like to try to spinach next time. I served heated sauce on the side to dip cut up pieces in. Yum, yum :)

After reading other reviews, I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out great (meaning my kids actually liked it) and it was pretty fast. First, I cut the recipe in half. Instead of buying different cheeses, I skipped the ricotta and just used a 2 cup package of shredded Italian cheeses. I also added some sauteed onions, garlic, and red pepper to the spinach mixture. I used way less of the Italian seasoning. Finally, I bought Pillsbury's thin crust pizza dough instead of bread dough. I realized that if I unrolled the dough and held it by the edges, it would stretch out on its own. Then I cut it into rectangles, filled half the rectangle, and folded over. My calzones weren't in the traditional form, but no one cared. I brushed the top with olive oil and added a bit of parmesan. Be careful with the baking time. My calzones only took about 15 minutes.

This recipe is simply delicious. I did end up using pizza dough (the thick crust kind) thanks to the tips of other. Before serving I poured marinara sauce on top and it was so tasty. Next time I think that I will use less Italian seasoning because it was quite strong. The cooking time was only about 20 minutes.

spinach mixture was great. we even personalized a few for the kiddos (turkey pepperoni, sausage, feta - etc) - the issue is with the dough. very thick as it is a bread - so if you can't get it rolled thin enough - you end up wasting most of the finished product to get to the good stuff. would be best with home made dough - but all in all good concept - not an easy throw together weekday dinner. this one takes some prep and good amount of clean up (dough, flour, etc).

These were wonderful and very quick to mix up. I used pizza dough as some suggested. I've always added a pinch of nutmeg to ricotta mixtures, so did so in this case as well. Lovely. Will try some of the variations suggested.

We tried this the other night. I used the breadmaker to make whole wheat pizza dough for the bread part. They were great! I was estimating the spinach and the ricotta because the containers I bought were larger than the recipe called for. It seemed it could've used a bit more spinach. Other than that it was great!

I gave it 2 stars because they were vey nice looking, but the taste was very bad. The cheeses were too bland and the overpowering flavor was the italian seasoning - way overpowering flavor. I used the freezer bread dough like the recipe called for and you really have to seal the edges good or they'll pop open while cooking. I would recommend doing an egg white wash on the tops before baking. The filling just wasn't good.

I make something pretty similar to this, but have a few additions that really make it pop. 1) Decrease the Italian seasoning or skip it completely. Instead, brush some pesto onto the inside of the dough before you roll it up (store bought Progresso works- cheap and easy). 2) Instead of frozen bread dough, you can buy fresh pizza dough in the cheese or deli section of most grocery stores. Tastes amazing. 3) Ricotta is optional. Just the spinach and mozzarella combo with the spinach works great as long as you serve it warm.

Makes too much filling. Egg once mixed with cheeses does not store well in a fridge for any length of time so if using the egg, mix it as a 2nd mixing stage once you know how much filling you're actually going to use. Stock recipe sorta bland, this is one to really get creative on, but is a solid base point for making something that when cooked should look awfully similar to a calzone. Ideas: Dill? Salt? Gouda? Colby-Jack? Meats? buttered garlic? Add just about anything you wanna add into the mix to add an edge to it (The cheeses are mild aka bland) would be my recommendation for other people cooking it.

The filling was excellent. As some of the other reviewers suggested I used Refrigerated Pizza Dough but wish I hadn't. It was so salty! Next time I will make my own dough.
