On a floured surface, roll out each portion of the pizza dough into thin circles not more than 1/4" thick. Place them on a greased baking tray. Spoon some filling on one side of each circle. Top with mozzarella chunks and parmesan slices. Brush the edges with a little water and fold over each circle so as to form a semi-circle. Squeeze the edges or press well with a fork to seal. Bake in a preheated oven at 200oC / 400oF for about 15  minutes or till crisp golden brown. TIPS: To make smaller calzones, divide the dough into smaller portions and proceed as above. The calzone can be filled with just about any filling of your choice. Fresh herbs can be substituted with comparitively lesser amounts of dry ones. Romano cheese can be replaced by any other cheese of your choice for garnishing the calzone. Serve hot topped with: grated romano cheese
