Stromboli, often referred to as a stuffed pizza or a boli, is a type of turnover filled with mozzarella cheese along with various fillings, often pepperoni. The dough is pizza dough and a stromboli is cooked in the same way as regular pizza. Stromboli is reported to have originated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, some say that it originated in Stromboli, an island in Italy. Stromboli can now be found in many pizza shops alongside more common pizza varieties.
Stromboli are similar to calzones, but traditionally the two are distinct dishes, as stromboli usually contain only mozzarella cheese, while calzones contain a cheese mixture (often including ricotta) and tend to lack marinara sauce.

Mostly, it's the size. The dough is also different (the calzone has a thicker dough).

None that I know of, perhaps the region they orginated in when
someone first made them.
