Hi, Pizzalovers!
Today i want to explain you what is the Pizza Calzone or as it is called in Naples: "Ripieno Napoletano"

Calzone mean "stocking" or "trouser" or "drooping sack" in italian language. It is traditionally made with ingredients that are like a pizza, but they are not the same shape. It is folded into a crescent shape before it is cooked. Calzones are made from pizza dough and filled with mozzarella, ricotta cheese and spicy salami. The dough is folded over, sealed along the edge and then cooked in a wood fire oven.

All Pizzas on my channel are made by myself in my restaurant, i use italian organic flour ;-) Pizza pictures and videos are mine
