This is a warm sandwich which is also like a pizza.
Of course, I am a fan of both when it comes to this recipe.
 

Being able to eat a calzone may not be what you were thinking about when you imagined something that is low in carbohydrates.
I mean, a calzone is basically a pizza folded over to make a great tasting sandwich.
How could something so yummy be low in carbs?

 

There are a few ingredients that you will need for this recipe.

These ingredients may be items that you do not have on hand.
First off, you will need a low carb pizza sauce.
Look for a sauce that has no sugar added to it. The bulk of the carbs in these calzones will most likely come from the sauce.

About the product
SIMPLE INGREDIENTS: Whole tomatoes are cooked down into a sauce with sea salt, onion and garlic for a bright, bold flavor to the table
ORGANIC TOMATOES: Grown on organic farms where they are drenched in California sunshine, tomatoes are USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified
PEAK FLAVOR: Our tomatoes are picked at the peak of flavor, bringing a bright, bold flavor to the table
CONVENIENCE: Tomatoes are a real and simple addition to any meal; store organic canned tomato sauce in pantry for easy use when making soups, sauces and stews.

Also, do not forget about your favorite pizza topping.

I'm talking about the sliced pepperoni, including the turkey kind of sliced pepperoni.
And there is also the pizza cheese.
Mozzarella Cheese being possibly the most popular cheese to use in this kind of a recipe. Other popular cheeses include Parmesan nad my favorite Provolone Cheese.

While we know what to put inside of the calzone, we should however think about the crust as well.

In a regular calzone, we expect the bread portion to contain the bulk of the carbohydrates. We know that in a regular pizza it is the crust that offers up the bulk of the carbs as it is basically a bread.

Getting rid of the regular pizza crust can really help knock out the carbs.
This is true for both a pizza and a calzone. Luckily, I do have options for you to use for your low carb calzone.
