I always thought they were like shitty bootleg pizzas with too much crust that pizza places could easily offer to pretend they make more than pizzas. Boy, was I wrong.

Calzones are like the inverted burgers of the pizza world...

As good as they are, I would be quite disappointed eating a pasty after a premium Calzone.

Calzones here in São Paulo are godly (due to the huge italian population here, including my family, all Italy related food here is great). If anyone think calzones are crap that's because they haven't eaten the real thing.

 

[poppabk]

It's basically a folded in half pizza, why wouldn't it be good?

Really?? Pizza place don't make calzones in australia?!
You can't find a pizza place in italy who doesn't make at least 1-2 type of calzones.

Cornish pastie?

Cornish pastie?

I just looked that up.

They're very similar. Especially since it came from Jamaica (which had British roots).
Only difference is these are thinner and the pastry is made of eggs.

Oh those are good too.

All the foods mentioned are great in this thread. The calzone, pizza and pasties

 

[008]

Never had a hot pocket?

 

[Patrick S.]

Calzones are lady knickers.

 

[n0razi]

Grab a slice of regular pizza and fold it in half... dip into marinara sauce.... congrats you have a calzone

Exactly what I was thinking.

Hot pockets are objectively shit.

I would venture to guess you don’t live in Italy, the east coast of the US, or the Chicago area...

Went to Pisa and had the best calzone in the world. I don’t know what they did different to other places but it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

 

[Tranquil]

I used to make those a couple years back. They weren't bad, prefer a regular pizza though.

We just don't use grounded meat instead of ham and shitty cheese instead of good mozzarella, also the dough has to be good, same for the tomato sauce.

 

[Woo-Fu]

hot pocket is basically dog shit compared to a real calzone. I don't know how people eat that crap. OP should try some stromboli too if they managed to miss it along with the calzones.

The only place I've had a calzone is in Italy

They don't fuck around with the size of those things

Back in college in upstate New York I used to get monster calzone the size of a large pizza folded in half and stuffed full of pepperoni, cheese, sauce, etc. Half for dinner, half for breakfast the next day.

Had a pretty good one at Vapiano in January before it became another restaurant lost to covid. Usually calzones are kind of meh to me, but that one I rather enjoyed, but will no longer be able to get.

 

[digital_ghost]

Hot pockets are objectively shit.

At least if you eat a ham and cheese hotpocket you get the rest of the day off of work.
For barfing.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Wrong thread my fault Cptn brappy-san. GymWolf knows what he’s talking about though

Even Pizza Hut had bomb calzones, they’re fucking delicious even the lower quality ones haha

 

[Cutty Flam]

They are just shittier pizzas.

Fuck, you beat me to it.

No way milk-san. Have you had one with quality mozzarella, loaded up with pepperoni, and a robust marinara on the side? It’s way different than what you get from a pizza imo

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Never had a hot pocket?

Butter is in the fridge btw.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

This is dependent on where you buy it and who makes it.
For example: Pizza Hut. Worst fucking Calzone. Shit, they know this, because they call that sorry-excuse-for-food a fucking Pizzone.

Shit is 90% bread 10% everything else. I'd rather pay someone to slap me than eat that garbage.

 

[Kayoba]

I remember that I used to love them, although it's about 10 years ago I ate one last time.

If you are from the US that doesn't mean much, though..
