You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made with short crust?"

Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.
