Unadapted borrowing from Italian calzone (literally “stocking, trouser”). Doublet of chausson.
noun calzones · calzoni · calzony · calzoney · calzonie
- A baked Italian turnover made of pizza dough and stuffed with tomato, cheese and other toppings. It was a much classier presentation than the oil-stained paper plate I would use to transport my calzones of yore, and it tasted better, too. […] That was the first calzone I made after my Lucali meal, and the recipe is a good template for a calzone of the cheesiest kind.
