Calzones vs Pizza 1

So the pizza place i work at had an extra calzone at the end of the day that i was able to take home. Its the first calzone ive ever had.
What the fuck is the deal with calzones? Its like every ingredient of pizza in a hard to eat shell that has too much dough.
Theyre actually pretty popular at my restaurant which is why im asking
Does anyone actually prefer calzones to pizza? Seems like the ugly sister...

calzones are pizzas for the obese and/or those who are heavily intoxicated

A calzone is basically just a folded pizza.. In Italy they are a common street food because they can be easily eaten while walking around Maybe your place just sucks at making them.. it shouldn't have too much dough and shouldn't really be hard.

I love calzones, but lets not froget they arent EXACTLY a folded pizza because a proper (american) calzone should have ricotta and the sauce is to the side, not on it.

I vastly prefer pizza over calzone. I just don't 'get' calzones.

That's true.. it's not exactly a folded pizza.. but essentially it is. Usually slightly different ingredients depending on where you get it.
I prefer pizza though

Me and my wife from brooklyn went back to NYC to visit her family. We stayed in a hotel and randomly picked at place to order from. On thier menu they had eggplant calzones. They were 5.99 each. I wasnt expecting much. When they got to our door they were the size of our heads and full of the best fried eggplant, cheese, and red sauce i've ever had in my life. Somehow i dont think an eggplant pizza would have been as good. They can be amazing sometimes IMHO.

Pizza is flat so it only occupies two dimensions vs a calzone occupies three full dimensions, thus you get more value for your money with a calzone. Stromboli > all

9/10 I'll order a pizza but I also enjoy calzones and Stromboli I think it's the ricotta and all of the extra cheese and sauce that I like about the calzone

Ricotta is like the whipped cream of savory red sauce dishes.

The only good thing about calzones is the ability to to closely monitor the amount of sauce. I prefer a pie. Damn, these food threads are making me hungry.

i like heavy, chewy crusts. especially on bread and bagels. thats why i love calzones and peperoni bread
it all depends on your taste really. i still fucking love pizza, but sometimes i'll get a pizza and theres either too much cheese or sauce and a weak ass crust, i'm not into that
