It looks like he premixes the mozzarella with herbs. It's a
little too much for me but I'd certainly give it a try after
talking with the owner.

No need just to get pizza fritta. Just look for an area that has a large
Italian immigrant population and is proud of their food traditions. We
have at least 3 local mom & pop pizza joints here that make it and of
course we get it at the local Italian Church festivals every summer. |

I think I'll stick with the wood-oven baked panzerotti, from my mother's
home town of Bisceglie |

Speaking of which, I just came across Sophia
Loren's recipe for Fried Pizza Napolitano. However,
her version just fries the dough and then you put on your
sauce and toppings and fold it in half. So it's more
like a Navajo taco in concept.

I sometimes make something similar to Bittman's version. It isn't pizza
fritta but I am not into deep frying all that often:

Good advice. How do you get panzerotto and calzone there?
Here we have the "pizzeria-version" calzone which is long as a regular
pizza's diameter, about 12", made with the same dough of pizzas and
plyed in half to form a semi-circular shape, filled with mozzarella,
tomato sauce and cooked ham (normale, about 4 euros each) or with an
addition of mushrooms and/or veggies (farcito, about 5-6 euros each).
Outsides of pizzerias there are bakeries and "pizza al trancio" (tr:
"pizza by the piece") shops, the latter serve 1" thick pizza baked in
large rectangular baking pans and cut in square palm-sized pieces.
Both bakeries and "pizza al trancio" sell small calzoni and
panzerotti, and usually they call calzoni the baked ones and
panzerotti the deep fried ones. The filling is almost always the same
as the "calzone normale" in pizzerias, and they range in price between
2 and 3 euros.
Calzone is my choice of favor when it happens to order take-over
pizzas from a pizzeria, since it keeps warm for longer than pizza,
which in pizzeria are usually very thin, opposed to the thick one they
sell "al trancio".
