A pizza flavored Hot Pocket is just a calzone...

"Hot Pockets are the American empanada."

  A warm Hot Pocket is a prison fifi you can eat after.
Except it tastes like shit because it's a hot pocket
Stromboli actually. Strombolis have pizza sauce like the pockets, calzones require ricotta and no sauce (you dip em in marinara).
A calzone is just a folded pizza.
- Yep, that's why don't have to call it "pizza flavoured".
- Its best if you use home made spaghetti sauce (the kind that takes 2 hours to make and is very meaty)
- The Low-Cal Calzone Zone! 😀
I thought a hot pocket was the American version of a meat pie. No?
- No, I think we call that a a pot pie. It has a meat, gravy and a bunch of vegetables
- We call that a Pot Pie
Yes, and so are burritos, corndogs, whole pies, dumplings, pop-tarts, and uncrustables. And presumably non-pizza-flavored Hot Pockets.
- This is a case for the cube rule!
Based on the cube rule every hot pocket is a calzone

No, its definitely not. A Calzone isn't what ever hot pockets are made of.
Calzones aren't supposed to have sauce inside though
- Every calzone I've ever eaten has had sauce. And I only buy the really high quality authentic ones from Sbarro.
  
  I was mid sip and reading Sbarro nearly sent a load of drink up my nose 😂
  
  Sometimes I crave a true, authentic, Italian dish with the right cheeses, traditional sauces, and love cooked right into the pasta. Other times, I go to the Olive Garden

- You're probably thinking of a stromboli.
  
  You're thinking of a pizza roll
- Please start a battle with Wikipedia editors over the tomato sauce calzone in this article.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calzone
  
  .... Did you read your own link or no? It says "some places put sauce on top right before serving" which is what's pictured
- Wait, really? My world is shaken
  
  Lol it's regional and always fun to stir shit up and make people argue their locally-adjusted version of an imported recipe is correct. Most places do not put sauce inside though and many don't even serve the sauce
- Wait what
A calzone doesn't have tomatoe sauce in it. Also this is a terrible insult to calzones everywhere.
- Wikipedia wants to fight you over that statement
  
  This looks like it has sauce ON it. Like a calzone.
  If it is the same as a calzone, but has sauce IN it, then its not a calzone, its a stromboli.
- Says who?!
  You take your meaty red sauce you made from scratch and you put it in a pizza crust with some toppings.
