When I was younger, a pizzeria where I lived
advertised its stuffed pizza. It was really, a Calzone, but we
were not familiar with that name. The place was wonderful and
the "stuffed pizza" gained a loyal following. Another place I
lived had a bakery with the best Stromboli and it was on the
weekly list of must have dinners. Sadly, miss them both.
One of the major
differences between a Calzone and a Stromboli, beside shape is
the sauce. In a Stromboli the sauce is baked in and with a
Calzone it is served on the side like a dipping sauce.
Calzone origin: Naples,
Italy
Tomato Sauce: On the side
How it is made: Baked or fried
Shape: Crescent moon (think of pizza folded in half)
Stromboli origin:
Philadelphia, PA
Tomato sauce: Baked in
How it is made: Baked
Shape: Log
My mouth is watering just thinking about both of the pizza
treats.
