Add spinach and season with salt; cover and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer spinach to a fine mesh sieve a drain, pressing with a rubber spatula to release as much liquid as possible. Transfer spinach to a cutting board and roughly chop. on a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece of dough into an 8 inch round. In a medium bowl, stir together spinach, tomatoes, pesto and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. With a slotted spoon, divide mixture among botton halves on dough rounds, leaving a 1 inch border. Fold top half of each over filling and roll and pinch edges to seal. carefully transfer calzones to the stone. Brush top lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until calzones are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
