Calzones are a type of Italian pizza but, unlike the more common flat pizzas, these are folded and baked in an oven, although in Italy some street venders sell small ones that have been fried.
The ingredients that go into a calzone can vary, just like they can with a regular pizza. Cheese is a typical ingredient, with mozzarella being common but not the only one. Ham, salami and vegetables can also be included, and different varieties can have different ingredients. Plus, making your own choice means that effectively a calzone can be stuffed with the full range of ingredients that can be found in a normal pizza. They are also often topped with such as marinara or other sauce.
With calzones being folded and baked, their taste is different, as the juices can combine inside. In addition, it is not really possible to have a "slice" of calzone as there is nothing to cut into slices. This is the reason for vendors in Italy selling small calzones; these can be eaten whilst standing.
