I think this might work best for kids because it is quite bland. It takes only 15-20 minutes to prep and assemble. So busy families will love that aspect. An added bonus is that kids interested in cooking can help make them with a supervising adult.

For everyone who prefers something that screams flavor, you’ll need to experiment with adding garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano and anything else that will liven up the veggie filling to your preferences. I would sprinkle red pepper flakes on top of the calzone, add the Parmesan cheese to the mozzarella inside the calzone as well as on top of it, and be sure to use a flavorful sauce.
