calzoni

Folded pizza parcels

Calzoni is the plural of calzone, the Italian folded pizza turnover stuffed with cheese, meat, or vegetables and baked or fried.

In Italian, calzone means "trouser leg" or "stocking," describing the shape.

American menus sometimes use calzoni for the plural, though calzones is more common in English: We ordered two calzoni to share.
