I was out of ricotta so I used large curd cottage cheese & when they were nearly done baking they burst & spilled out on the pan (but that crispy, cheesey stuff was tastey!). Brushed them with garlic butter & coarse salt prior to baking & we dipped ours in jarred spaghetti sauce thickened with 2 TBs of tomato paste, WOW! fast dinner, fattening & tastey.

I made this great, super simple recipe for dinner last night. Like other reviewers, to make it even easier I used the Pillsbury Pizza Dough in a can. I also added sauted garlic & onion, crushed red pepper seasoning & pepperoni pieces to the recipe. Served it with salad & warm sauce. Absolutely excellent! Definately a keeper!

I used pie dough but it worked out well. I also used only shredded chicken, spinach, riccota, and a touch of evo, as traditional calzones do not have sauce inside. I will try again but next time with a different dough.

Wow! Great Recipe guys!! Nice one for the Recipe of the Week! Now, I have made these a few times and I found that they were even BETTER when you added about half a tablespoon of Mayo mixed with a sprinkle of chili powder and chives. TRUST me, It may sound wierd but you WON'T be dissapointed.

These are so delectable! to be creative, I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of cocoa powder. WOW. It was even better than the original! it sounds pretty weird, I know, but trust me and try it!

I made one as stated in the recipe so that I could review it honestly (except using a can of Pizza Dough). The rest we had "build your own Calzone" night. I had sauteed mushrooms, canadian bacon, and Italian sausage. For us the meat one was better. I have enough of everything to make myself lunch tomorrow. I will spread the top with garlic butter next time before cooking (the top was hard & dry). Also, mine did not need the whole cooking time. Really easy quick supper.

These were amazing! I added a little bit of cut up pepperoni, because I was feeling a little carnivorous. I made a meal of these calzones, the "Cheesiest Potato Soup," and Faccacio (spelling?) bread (all from this site). The Calzones were the best thing involved. I had a little trouble flattening out the white bread dough, but next time I'll have purchased a rolling pin, and hopefully that will help me. The recipe makes a LOT of stuffing. I froze the rest of my stuffing to make more calzones in a few days, I hope it holds up okay in the freezer!

I added vegetables to the filling and made some bread dough in my bread machine and this was excellent. A great way to sneak spinach into the family.

These were very easy to make. I used the refrigerated pizza dough for the crust and added a good measure of garlic powder to the spinach/cheese mix. Very tasty. Thanks.

These were pretty good. I used fresh spinach and sauteed it in just a little olive oil with mushrooms, garlic, and onion.

One of my family's favorites now! I like using the fresh bread dough and not the frozen as I found the frozen one rises too much and made the calzones to thick.

Excellent recipe! I used two packages of spinach and only one egg, my usual garlic/onion powders and Pillsbury pizza dough in the tube instead of the bread dough. It rolled out so nicely too. I brushed the top with egg white and sprinkled with parm and garlic powder. Marinara sauce on the side completed this very pretty picture. Family loved it and thanks!

Delicious! I also used pizza crust because I had some in the fridge. I didn't use spinach, but used pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper and onions. These were delicious! Ranch is also an excellent dipping sauce!!!
