Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Cook Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes; remove from heat.

In a bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and chopped parsley; mix well.

Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.

Spread the cheese mixture on one half of the dough, leaving a border.

Spoon the sausage and pepper mixture over the cheese.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape; press edges to seal tightly.

Brush the top with olive oil and cut a few slits for steam to escape.

Place calzone on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
