    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.

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