Stromboli Vs. Calzone

Stormieweather · 06-03-2009, 12:32 PM

I worked off and on for a pizza place locally for years (they sold it eventually). The owners were Italian brothers from the sicilian region. I've never had a better pizza, before or since.

They did not make strombolis, but had great calzones (cal-zho-nayz). As they explained to me, a calzone was a pizza with the toppings inside instead of on top + ricotta. Sometimes, people would order a calzone with a half a dozen or more toppings in it, and that sucker would look like it was gonna explode. But omg so yumm.

Now I'm hungry and no one makes calzones like that anywhere...

Who pronounces the terminal "e" in calzone? I've never heard that.

I think "cal-zho-nayz" is plural.
