National Calzone Day, celebrated on November 1, pays homage to the legendary folded Italian turnover originating in 18th-century Naples, stuffed with rich cheeses, cured meats, and baked golden.
Originating in Naples, Italy, during the 18th century, the word "calzone" translates literally to "trouser leg" or "stocking" in Italian, created as a portable, folded pizza designed to be eaten on the move by working-class Neapolitans without utensils. In 2016, Minsky's Pizza in Kansas City formally established National Calzone Day on November 1 to celebrate the iconic stuffed delicacy.
