I'm always looking for creative ways to jazz up pizza. I came up with this "pizza turnover," to incorporate my love of buffalo chicken wings and created this scrumptious buffalo chicken calzone. -Ruth Ann Riendeau, Twin Mountain, New Hampshire

These calzones were amazing! The buffalo chicken filling was perfectly spicy and the ranch dressing added a nice cooling touch. The dough was also cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.

I thought these calzones were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the dough was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I loved the idea of these calzones, but they were a bit too dry for me. Next time I make them, I'll add some more sauce to the filling.

These calzones were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used less oil in the filling.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was a little disappointed. The filling was bland and the dough was too thick. I think I'll stick to my regular chicken calzone recipe.
