Stromboli Vs. Calzone - Page 3

09-23-2010, 03:27 AM

i've worked at a New York Pizzeria for over three years for a man straight from Palermo. And his family traditionally made stromboli in rolls, with at least mozz and ham. While their calzones were traditionally mozz and riccotta. both, however, came with the sauce on the side but could be put inside per request. but that was menu-ized. ask a true italian...

thanks! welcome to the cellar!

The way I understood the term is that Stromboli has the tomato sauce inside, while Calzone does not. With Calzone the sauce is served on the side.

The explanation I was given was that Stromboli is named after a famous volcano, and the tomato sauce resembles lava coming out of a volcano when you bite into a Stromboli.

I have no idea whether this is widely accepted or not.
