  Every calzone I’ve ever eaten has had sauce. And I only buy the really high quality authentic ones from Sbarro.

    I was mid sip and reading Sbarro nearly sent a load of drink up my nose 😂

    Sometimes I crave a true, authentic, Italian dish with the right cheeses, traditional sauces, and love cooked right into the pasta. Other times, I go to the Olive Garden

  You’re probably thinking of a stromboli.

      Probably.

      Honestly it’s so weird. I’ve been all over and have seen a lot of calzones with sauce inside, and I’ve seen most strombolis without sauce but with ricotta. But it’s still a gamble unless their menu specifically says how they make it.

      I prefer the sauce on the side, so I usually get a stromboli, ask for a container of sauce, and roll the dice unless it’s a place I know.

        Like all exported recipes, it’s regional. It’s like how American pizza is quite different from Italy. But true pizza isn’t the #1 food in the world, now is it? I mean American pizza probably isn’t either when other cuisines win by shear population by who’s counting

        Let us take to the experts.

        www.foodnetwork.com/…/calzone-vs-stromboli

        Fillings

        Calzones and stromboli share several the same fillings, including cured meats and veggies. And while both have Italian cheese, calzones are made with ricotta (often alongside mozzarella and/or Parmesan) while stromboli are typically only made with mozzarella. Calzones’ fillings do not include sauce; marinara is served on the side for dipping. Stromboli portions can also be dipped, but they can also be baked with the sauce inside.

        This source also specifies strombolis are a different shape, and tbh at one time that was true, but I think that practice has mostly died out and the shape of the two is now often “the same” but dependant on location. The sauce v ricotta situation however is nonnegotiable and places that swap them are wrong.

      Your thinking of a dish that is toppings on top of cheese red sauce and bread.

      I’m not done eating the last batch of pizza rolls that Mr Plinkette mailed me.

  Please start a battle with Wikipedia editors over the tomato sauce calzone in this article.

    … Did you read your own link or no?

      I’m referring to the picture, which has sauce. Which I thought was funny.

      • XeroxCool@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Fair, it is a very saucy calzone that definitely looks like some sauce is inside, though it may just be diced tomato under a sauce glop

    Lol it’s regional and always fun to stir shit up and make people argue their locally-adjusted version of an imported recipe is correct
