Give dinner a fun Halloween twist with this Mummy Wrap Pizza Calzone recipe. It’s easy to make and ready to eat in 45 minutes. 

Our Mummy Wrap Pizza Calzones are the perfect meal for Halloween, but you can also serve it year-round when you de-mummify it by not including the “eyes.”

The Mummy Wrap Calzones serve eight and costs about $6.80 to make, which is only $0.85 per serving. For more fun and Halloween recipes, check out on our Halloween Snack Mix (with printables for gifting) or our Witches’ Brew.

Mummy Wrap Pizza Calzone

In this recipe, we take an ordinary tube of pizza dough and an everyday calzone recipe and turn it into something SPOOKTACULAR! This Mummy Wrap is similar to our BBQ Chicken Braid, but with all your favorite pizza toppings wrapped up inside the dough and topped with eyes to turn it into a mummy.

You can even use the dough recipe from our BBQ Chicken Braid with this calzone or use store-bought pizza dough instead. Doing this will save your budget a little bit. 

A calzone is like a folded pizza or a pizza pocket that safely holds all those yummy toppings and fillings. These are a mess-free meal for the youngest of hands to the oldest. Easy to eat at home, on a picnic, or at a party.

Is calzone dough the same as pizza dough?

Yes! The pizza crust is the same type of bread dough whether you roll it out flat, braid it, or fold it over. 

Is a calzone just a folded pizza?

Typically yes, a calzone is a folded pizza that is in the shape of a half-moon. Another way to think of it is as a pizza pocket. For our recipe, we are folding the dough of the calzone to resemble a mummy. 

What is inside a calzone?

You can fill a calzone with all sorts of toppings! You can fill it with things such as pepperoni, cheese, veggies, sausage, ham, pineapple, and marinara sauce.

How to Make a Mummy Wrap Calzone Pizza recipe: 

STEPS ONE AND TWO:  First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then roll one tube of pizza dough out onto a cookie sheet. Next, cut strips on both long sides of the dough. Leave the center two to three inches uncut to spoon the pizza sauce down. 

The dough rolled out onto a baking sheet.

STEPS THREE AND FOUR: After that, add half of the cheese and then toppings (if using). Place the remaining cheese on top of that. 

All of the pizza toppings on the dough before it's wrapper.

STEPS FIVE AND SIX: Then, starting at the bottom, wrap the calzone, overlapping the dough as you work your way to the top. Finally, brush egg wash over the pizza dough. Bake for 25-30 minutes and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice black olives for the mummy eyes and serve.

Cook’s Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • rolling pin
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • pastry brush
  • mixing spoon
  • small spatula
  • pastry cutter

The Flavor and Recipe Variations

Use different toppings each time you make this to mix it up. From ham and pineapple to sausage and green bell peppers, the options are limitless.

How long is it good for:

Serve: As with most recipes, you shouldn’t leave pizza calzone out for longer than 2 hours. 

Store: Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Just note that the longer it sits in the fridge, the soggier it will get. 

Freeze: Wrap the calzone in 2 layers of foil or plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. You may need to cut the pizza calzone in half to get it to fit in the bag. To reheat: Thaw and then place in a 350 F oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.

How to get the kids involved with this recipe:

Ages 2-3: Have your little one brush the egg wash onto the dough. They will also love being able to put the “eyes” (black olives) onto the mummy.

Ages 4-5: Let them spoon the sauce down the middle and place the toppings on the sauce. 

Ages 6-8: Teach them to roll out the dough and then cut it into strips. They can also overlap the dough to form the mummy wrap.

Ages 9-11: Supervise them while they prepare the entire recipe. Remember to have them read it twice before beginning the recipe. 

Ages 12+: Let them prepare the entire recipe, unsupervised, while you do the happy dance in the corner!
