Notes
- If the pizza crust seems to not want to spread out and springs back when you're placing it in the pan, just let it rest rolled out for a few minutes. Giving it a little time to relax makes it much easier to spread it out.
- Store any leftover calzone in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days. To freeze,
- I'd recommend baking the calzone first, let it cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to three months.
- Reheat in a 325 oven until warmed through.
