Calzones at Pie-Fection: Six Folded Favorites With a Brazilian Accent
A calzone takes everything people love about pizza and folds it into a sealed, golden pocket. At Pie-Fection, calzones get the same Brazilian-inspired treatment as our pizzas, with fillings like creamy Catupiry, calabresa sausage and steak. Our menu lists six calzones, all in one medium size. You can find them at our restaurants in Orlando (Metrowest), Kissimmee and Windermere. Here is what sets each one apart and how to order.
What Makes a Calzone Different From a Pizza
Pizza bakes with its toppings open to the heat. A calzone folds the dough over the filling and seals the edge, so the cheese and meats bake inside. The result is a crisp outer crust with a soft, melted center that holds its heat longer than an open slice.
That folded format also changes how flavors come together. Sauce, cheese and fillings cook in one closed space, which makes richer ingredients such as Catupiry even creamier. It is a good choice when you want something hearty that feels like a full meal on its own.
Calzones also work well alongside pizza. A table that orders one of each gets two textures from the same kitchen, the open slice and the sealed, creamy fold. It is an easy way to try more of the menu in a single visit. Because every calzone comes in the same medium size, the only decision is the filling.
Brazilian Calzones on the Pie-Fection Menu
Three of our calzones lean into Brazilian flavor. The Chicken Catupiry Calzone combines pizza sauce, mozzarella, chicken, Catupiry and oregano. Catupiry is a creamy Brazilian cheese spread, and it is one of the signature ingredients across our menu.
The Calabresa Calzone pairs pizza sauce and mozzarella with calabresa sausage and oregano, a combination familiar to anyone who grew up with Brazilian pizza. The Churrasco Calzone brings mozzarella and steak together, a nod to the grilled-meat tradition that churrasco names in Brazil.
Catupiry fans have two calzones to choose from, since it also fills the Four Cheese. Inside a sealed crust it melts into the other cheeses instead of browning on top, which is exactly why it suits this format so well.
Classic Calzones and Building Your Own
Prefer something more familiar? The Meat Lovers Calzone is packed with mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon. The Four Cheese Calzone layers mozzarella, provolone and parmesan with Catupiry, plus pizza sauce and oregano, for a rich and creamy bite.
For full control, choose Create your Calzone and pick four toppings. It is the easiest way to mix a Brazilian favorite with a classic one. Browse every option on our full menu before you decide.
Round out the meal with a Brazilian starter. Our appetizers include Chicken Balls (Coxinha) and Escondidinho de Carne Seca, made with jerked beef. To finish, sweet pizzas such as Brigadeiro, Nutella and Tropicalia bring the meal to a close the way many Brazilian pizzerias do.
