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).
- aka "Garbage Bread"
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)
- With ricotta.
- 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.

  .... 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.
