Calzones are like the perfect little pizza pockets that bring a taste of Italy right to your kitchen. Growing up, Friday nights were always pizza nights in our house, but as I got older and busier, I found myself craving something a little different yet just as comforting. Enter the calzone! It's a fun twist on the classic pizza, and it's perfect for those nights when you want something easy yet satisfying. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover pizza ingredients you might have in the fridge.
This Easy Baked Pepperoni and Cheese Calzone pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. You might also want to serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, which adds a nice tangy contrast to the cheesy goodness inside the calzone. If you're feeling a bit indulgent, a side of garlic bread can make the meal extra hearty. And of course, a glass of your favorite red wine or a cold soda can round out this comforting meal perfectly.
