Why I Love This Recipe
Fun—My kids love helping make Stromboli, and it’s fun to serve for dinner or a fun appetizer with a variety of dipping sauces! We even enjoy it as a side dish to another Italian inspired meal, like Short Rib Ragu. Easy—You can use our homemade pizza dough, or a good store-bought dough (We love Trader Joes pizza dough!), and the rest is as easy as layering a pizza! It bakes in the oven on a sheet pan, so you don’t need any special equipment to make stromboli at home! Versatile—Stromboli vs Calzone
Calzones and stromboli both have similar ingredients and are both part of the pizza family, but they are prepared differently. Calzones are folded in half with the edges sealed, while stromboli is rolled, baked, and sliced. Calzones come from Italy, while Stromboli actually originated in Philadelphia. Both are incredible, so try them and see which is your favorite!How to Make Stromboli
