You’ll find calzones at a lot of pizza restaurants because they’re delicious and sure to fill you up. Made of pizza dough and a blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheese, calzones are best enjoyed when they include your favorite pizza toppings.

Like a slice of pizza, a calzone is the type of dish you can customize to suit your personal tastes. Here are just a few of the most popular ingredients to add to calzones.

Top 5 Toppings To Put In Your Calzone

1. Pepperoni

Pepperoni pizza is a tasty variation on the standard plain cheese pie. Something about the mildly spicy flavor of pepperoni makes it a perfect fit with bread and cheese, which also means it tastes great in a calzone.

2. Sausage

Another topping that works well on pizza, sausage is the kind of ingredient you put in a calzone if you’re looking for a hefty meal that doesn’t disappoint.

3. Bacon

In recent years, it’s become common for pizza lovers to add some crispy bacon to their pies. Because the basic ingredients of a calzone aren’t that different from those of pizza, it makes sense that people love adding bacon to their calzones, as well.

4. Meatball

Meatballs are extremely versatile, especially in Italian-American cuisine, where they show up in everything from sandwiches to slices. They’re a scrumptious way to complete a calzone.

5. Broccoli

Not a meat lover, but still want to add some extra flavor to your calzone? Because broccoli tastes delicious with ricotta cheese, they’re a perfect pair.
