About Calzone Day
United States
Ends: Nov 01, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Calzone Day, created in 2016 by Minsky's Pizza, celebrates the Neopolitan street food, the calzone.
The calzone, a staple of Italian cuisine known for its crescent shape and delicious fillings, has a history as rich and varied as its ingredients. Originating in Naples, Italy, during the 18th century, the calzone began as a street food, offering a convenient and tasty meal for workers and busy Neapolitans on the go.
Calzone, a folded pizza, means 'trouser leg' or 'stocking' in Italian. The concept is said to have been born from needing a more portable yet hearty meal. Workers and laborers could easily carry and eat this enclosed pizza without needing plates or utensils, making it an ideal on-the-go lunch.
The traditional Neapolitan calzone is a simple yet flavorful creation. Typically, calzones are stuffed with ingredients like ricotta cheese, salami, ham, or vegetables and then baked in a wood-fired oven, similar to pizza. The crust is pizza dough, which puffs up during baking, creating a light and crispy crust.
As Italian immigrants spread worldwide, they brought their culinary traditions, including the calzone. The calzone's fillings and cooking methods began to vary in different regions, reflecting local tastes and ingredients. For instance, calzones are often larger in the United States, filled with mozzarella cheese, and served with marinara sauce for dipping.
Over time, the calzone has become a beloved dish in Italian-American cuisine and worldwide, with endless variations. Some versions are fried rather than baked, and fillings can range from various types of meat to a wide array of vegetables and cheeses.
Today, calzones are a popular menu item in pizzerias and Italian restaurants globally. Their versatility, portability, and rich, savory fillings have made them a favorite among traditionalists and those seeking a twist on the classic pizza experience.
