Calzone Pizza Recipe || Stuffed Pizza || How to Make Calzone Pizza with step-by-step photos and video.
Calzone pizza is a delicious Italian dish originating from Naples. It consists of a flaky, golden-brown crust that is folded into a crescent shape and stuffed with various fillings and cheese. While it shares similarities with pizza, it is not the same.
In my first attempt at making a calzone, I used minced meat filling combined with a creamy white sauce, and I’m happy to report that it turned out successfully. You can customize your calzone with a variety of fillings, such as vegetables, chicken, or even beef and mutton.
To give my calzone a spicy kick, I added red chili powder. While traditional Italian pizza typically uses paprika instead, I opted for the red chili powder to suit my taste. Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference!

Tips for making Perfect Calzones:
- The part of this calzone recipe that requires the most skill is making the dough. Our homemade Pizza Dough recipe is our tried and true method and has all the instructions you need to break down making pizza dough at home.
- Fully sauté the mince before filling. Make sure to sauté your mince before filling the calzone. Sautéing the mince releases most of its liquid, so you won’t wind up with a soggy calzone.
- Don’t overstuff it! When filling a calzone pizza, add less cheese and mince filling than you think you’ll need. An overstuffed calzone will start oozing in the oven, and the crust will get soggy. Overfilling it will also make it tougher to crimp the edges of the calzone closed and will make the whole process incredibly messy (it’d still be delicious though!

Take a saucepan and add butter. Heat it on low flame until the butter is melted. Once the butter has melted, add chopped garlic and sauté it on low flame for a minute.
Then pour in milk, followed by cream and cheese. Stir everything well on a low flame until everything is incorporated. Remove it from the flame. Your white sauce is ready! You can keep it aside for later use.
Take another pan or pot and add oil. Heat it up and then add chopped onions. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes on medium flame until they become translucent. Now add the mincemeat and fry it with the onions until the water dries up.
Add the powder and spices, mix well, and then add the herbs. Keep mixing on low-medium flame while adding mushrooms and white sauce to the mince.

Take one dough ball and place it on a floured surface. Gently press the dough ball and then roll it until it becomes a round shape of around 5-6 inches in diameter. Use a fork to pierce the roti to prevent it from puffing up. Next, apply pizza sauce on one half of the dough circle.
Add the mince filling mixture, cheese, black olives, and a pinch of oregano to the same half of the dough. Be sure to leave about ½ inch of space around the edge of the dough.
Fold the dough in half to form a half-moon shape, crimp the edges with a fork, and transfer the calzone to the baking tray using a spatula.
Repeat the same process for all three calzones, and place them on the baking tray. Cover the tray and allow the calzones to rise for an additional 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200°C.
