What's the Difference Between Calzone and Stromboli?
By Caitlin M. O'Shaughnessy/ Food News/ Chowhound/ chowhound.com
"While they both fall into the category of portable pizzas, calzones and stromboli are not to be confused. Calzones are essentially a pizza that is folded in half, and then stuffed with cheese. Calzones originated in Naples, Italy and can vary widely—they can be different sizes but their signature half-moon shape makes them easy to pack for a quick lunch or snack. They’re often stuffed with mozzarella, provolone, or ricotta, and variations include the addition of tomatoes or tomato sauce, onions, salami, ham, minced meat, and vegetables. Calzones are baked in the oven but they can also be fried (more like a dumpling or turnover).
Although stromboli sounds equally Italian, it’s widely accepted that the dish originated in 1950’s Philadelphia and is the invention of Italian immigrants in the US. Stromboli is an entirely different shape than a calzone—they’re more of a cylinder and contain several layers (cheese and meat, but rarely contain tomato sauce). Stromboli is made by rolling out the dough (pizza or bread dough) and laying out the ingredients, then rolling it all up in a similar fashion to a cinnamon roll and slicing the log-shaped cylinder after it comes out of the oven. The resulting slices have a pinwheel pattern of meats, cheeses, and occasionally, vegetables.
In short, you can think of calzone as a folded pizza, and stromboli as a rolled pizza—perfect options for when you need a pizza fix and you’re on the move. Check out our nine recipes for stomboli and calzone and start cooking....."
