Can someone please explain to me the difference between strombolis, calzones and rolls?

Answer 1

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. Strombolis have sauce on the inside and calzones have it on the side. Rolls are just baked dough (bread) without the stuffing.

Answer 2

the difference between a stromboli and a calzone is that a calzone is like a pizza that is folded in half also containing ricotta cheese, the stromboli however should not have ricotta and should be rolled about a few times over like a joint. And a roll is something that you eat at the club with bright lights and techno music blasting

Answer 3

Actually the only difference is the cheese inside.
