Preparation
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 cylindrical shape and baked.
Origins
There are several claims regarding the origin of using the name stromboli for food in the United States.
Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria originated it in 1950 in Essington, Tinicum Township, just outside Philadelphia, courtesy of Nazzareno Romano. According to Romano, a friend suggested he name it after the recently released movie Stromboli.[1]
In 1954, Mike Aquino of Mike's Burger Royal in Spokane, Washington says he also named the sandwich after the same movie.[2]
