What's the best way to reheat calzone?
The oven gives the best result: 375°F for about 12 minutes, aiming for a crispy finish. A dense calzone needs the full time — the filling lags the crust by several minutes.
How long does calzone last in the fridge?
Calzone keeps about 4 days refrigerated at or below 40°F in an airtight container. When reheating, bring it to 165°F internal.
Can you reheat calzone more than once?
USDA guidance allows reheating to 165°F each time, but quality drops every round trip. Reheat only what you'll eat.
