To quote my husband "This is the best calzone I've ever had!" I used Italian seasoning instead of the basil and cheddar and mozzarella. Unlike traditional Neapolitan-style pizza, which requires a fork and knife to eat, this type of pizza was invented as a portable snack enjoyed while walking around town. In fact, the Italian translation of calzone is "pant leg.". To make a calzone, traditional round pizza dough is. I got it from another on-line site long ago and have adapted it to my tastes.
