   • 2012 April 13, Melissa Clark, “See You Later, Pizza, This Dough Is for Calzones”, in The New York Times‎:

     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.
