These were sooo good. I used pizza dough from the grocery store and rolled it out into squares myself. I lightly caramelized 1 onion before I put it in the calzone and I HIGHLY recommend this! I also used feta cheese instead. Absolutely delicious!

The combination of onions, mushrooms, and fresh spinach packs a serving of veggies into each of these easy, impressive calzones. We found that a pizza cutter works well for dividing the refrigerated dough into 4 equal portions.
