Preparation [edit]
Many American pizza shops serve a stromboli using pizza dough that is folded in half with fillings, similar to a calzone.[1]
At other establishments, a stromboli is made with a square shaped pizza dough that can be topped with any pizza toppings and is then rolled into a log and baked.
Origins [edit]
There are some theories regarding the origin of using the name stromboli for food in the United States. Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria claims to have originated it in 1950 in Essington, Tinicum Township, just outside of Philadelphia, by Nazzareno Romano. According to Romano, a friend suggested he name it after the then recently released movie, Stromboli.[2][1]
Another claim is that a stromboli sandwich was invented in 1954 by Mike Aquino at Mike's Burger Royale in Spokane, Washington. Aquino is also supposed to have named the sandwich after the movie.[3][unreliable source?]
