1. Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into quarters; cover with a towel.
2. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add pork, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 tsp paprika and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in the bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir once or twice to cool slightly.
3. Pat and stretch each portion of dough into a rough 8 inch round. Pile the pork mixture and mozzarella on one side of the rounds, leaving 1/2 inch border, then fold the dough over the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges to seal. Mix 1/2 tbsp. olive oil with the remaining 1/2 tsp paprika; brush over the calzones. cut a 1 inch vent in each.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the over and add the calzones. Bake until golden brown, 12 -15 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the greens with the vinegar and the remaining 3 tbsp. olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. serve with calzones.
