Bursting with bold flavors and cheesy goodness, this Three Meat Calzone is the ultimate indulgence for any pizza lover. Packed with a hearty trio of pepperoni, Italian sausage, and cooked ham, this calzone combines the meaty trifecta with a rich blend of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses for a gooey, flavorful filling. Wrapped in golden, crispy pizza dough and brushed with a savory egg wash, this handheld delight is baked to perfection in just 25 minutes. A hint of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a side of warm pizza sauce make every bite irresistibly satisfying. Perfect for a family dinner, game-day snacking, or a quick weeknight treat, this homemade calzone turns everyday ingredients into a restaurant-quality feast.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Spoon the meat and cheese mixture over the pizza sauce, spreading it evenly.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp the edges using the tines of a fork to ensure it is completely sealed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the calzone to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to make 3 small slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top with olive oil for added crispness and flavor.
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the calzone from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Three Meat Calzone with extra pizza sauce on the side, if desired.
