Grab-and-Go Calzones

Carando's Portable, Fully Cooked Italian Calzones Eliminate Meal Prep

Carando is introducing handheld, fully cooked Italian calzones in three flavors: Pepperoni, Meatball, and Chicken Parmesan. These authentic Italian flavors can be enjoyed in a matter of minutes, as the heat-and-eat meals are easy to transport and prepare, saving valuable time that would otherwise need to be devoted to meal planning and prepping.

While many pizza lovers are in the habit of grabbing a slice for a quick meal, these fully cooked calzones have the potential to offer a meal that's just as satisfying, easy to enjoy and full of the same kinds of ingredients—in the case of the classic Pepperoni variety, the crust is stuffed with uncured pepperoni and a blend of five kinds of cheese.
