These calzones were a bit of a disappointment. The dough was dry and the filling was bland.

I've tried many calzone recipes and this one is by far the best. The dough is perfect and the filling is flavorful and cheesy.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these calzones. The sausage and cheese really balanced out the flavor of the spinach.

I followed the recipe exactly and the calzones turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic to the filling.

These calzones were just okay. The filling was bland and the dough was tough.

These calzones were a big hit with my family! The sausage and spinach filling was flavorful and the dough was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.
