recipe reviews for:

Pinwheel Italian Calzones

“Once you try these mini calzones, you may never go back to fixing the large ones again! These calzones come together in a snap, and are a great way to sneak a few veggies into your kid's diet. The best part is they are small so it makes it easy for little hands to pick up and eat. Plus they taste like pizza and there's even a dipping sauce!”

I used pizza dough instead of crescent. They were pretty good but I don't know if I'd make again.

I'm rating these a 4 star because I know they would be better...only a teaspoon of italian seasoning for the recipe but it just seemed to overpower it. I will definitely make these again though but use less italian seasoning. We also made some with the pizza sauce in it instead of using it for dipping...they tasted better to me that way although the presentation is better made without.

These were pretty good. We ate them on the road on our way to our vacation destination. I used refrigerated pizza dough instead of crescent dough. If I make these again, I would probably blend up some cottage cheese and use that in the place of the ricotta. We just don't like the ricotta very well for some reason.

I was not impressed with these at all although I think they could be great as I used to make them with sun dried tomatoes fetta cheese salami and olives with a small amount of herbs, these were much tastier.

I was looking for an altternative to stromboli and hoped this would be a hit. We weren't crazy about these.

I made these on two separate occasions and everyone loved them, even the children. I blended the ingredients in the food processor and added fresh basil, oregano and thyme. The kids asked what was in it and I told the the cheeses and seasoning. They loved them and they don't eat these veggies normally.

These were good, easy and fairly quick. My 3 year old son loved helping me make them. I did pepperoni and mushroom and plain pepperoni. I also used the refridgerated pizza dough instead of the crescent rolls. Next time I may try adding the pizza sauce inside the rolls.

We thought these were delish! A little salty, so lay low on the salt and italian seasoning. But besides that- yumerific!

Made my own calzone dough. I run out of ricotta cheese, so i used cream cheese instead and i guess i'm sticking with this version 'cause the pinwheels came out sooo tasty. Browned the onions, garlic, mushrooms and pepper first, actually added zucchini too, and substituted a can of tuna for the pepperoni (we're not big fans of pepperoni). Added a hard-boiled egg finely chopped. Yummy! :)

My son says it gets 4 1/2 stars, I say 4, because I think that you should mix up the cheese mixture set a little bit longer to meld the flavors together. I left out the mushrooms as we don't like them and I added chopped up green olives. So I left out the salt too. I also was in hurry and this was our dinner with a salad, so I just rolled the crescents out to a rectangle shape stuffed with mixture and rolled long way. I made 10 large pinwheels. Thank you we enjoyed this very much.

These were so quick and easy! Hubby and I loved them. I made them pretty simple, cresant rolls, pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzerella cheese. Will definitely make again!

I thought those were great! Quick and easy. I did use two containers of the crescents because the recipe makes a lot of the filling.

This is a great quick snack - or serve with a salad and make a meal of it. I meant to use 2 tubes of cresent roll dough, but discovered I only had 1, so I just jammed all the filling on the 4 rectangles. It worked fine. The only deviation I made from the recipe is that I baked them before cutting up and increased the baking time about 7 minutes.
