Panzerotti, also spelled panzarotti, are Italian savory fried pastries originating in the Apulia region, resembling small calzones in both shape and dough. Unlike the calzone, which may be baked, the term panzerotti applies specifically to the fried version, and the two are often mistaken for each other; a common filling is tomato sauce and mozzarella. The name derives from a diminutive of the regional Italian word panza, meaning belly, a reference to the swollen shape of the pastry.
