Both are pizza-like in their ingredients and flavor, but they’re not the same.What's the Difference Between a Stromboli and a Calzone? The term “baked goods” can evoke imagery of cookies, cakes, and muffins, but baked goods don’t always have to be sweet. Take savory turnovers, for example. They’re typically made from a base of dough or puff pastry, but instead of fruit and sugar, they’re filled with various meats, cheeses, vegetables, and sometimes sauces. Oftentimes, the result is something that closely resembles pizza (or a pizza pocket)—especially if we’re talking about the stromboli and calzone. At a glance, both dishes...

Monday is National Calzone Day, but we are celebrating today. A calzone is a folded pizza hand pie, with garlic and butter infused dough stuffed with your favorite toppings. It originated in Naples, Italy, and St. Louis is fortunate to have seven locations to get a calzone from the restaurant “Sauce on the Side“.

Maybe the snow, or rain, or heat, or gloom of night, got to him. A Philadelphia mail carrier was charged with committing the greatest infraction of a United States Postal worker — not delivering the mail. Federal prosecutors allege Patrick D'Ambrosio, 48, declined to deliver a whopping 22,000 pieces of mail on his route between May 2014 and January of this year. He instead opted to stick the materials in his car and his northeast Philadelphia home. This behavior is the exact opposite of what the USPS motto stands for. "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night,...

Most of us walk into a neighborhood pizzeria with the intention of buying a slice from one of the pies working on the counter. But there's usually a separate case — really just a glass box with shelves — that contains other entities considered to be the province of the pizza parlor. In it you may find garlic knots (wads of dough bathed in olive oil, crushed garlic, and parsley), stromboli (thin sheets of dough rolled up into flattened sleeves filled with sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, and other pizza toppings), "hippie" rolls (thicker dough cylinders stuffed with pizza toppings), meat...

MAYBE it’s the suggestive power of the name, but rarely do I use pizza dough for anything else, even though it’s perfectly suitable for savory tarts, flatbreads and rolls. Once I get pizza on the brain, it’s hard to redirect. Then I got reacquainted with an old friend also made from that same dough: the calzone. Though it was a childhood staple at my corner pizzeria, I hadn’t eaten a calzone in years. But at a dinner at Lucali in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, I saw one emerge from the oven, a burnished, puffy crescent oozing ricotta at the seams. On...

A CALZONE measuring 65cm wide and weighing more than two kilos is on the plate in front of me at Amici Pizza Restaurant in Holloway Road. For 15 months the supersize feast has been taunting diners, and now I have taken up the calzone challenge. Anyone who can finish the giant folded pizza receives a free dessert and coffee. Simple. Despite the restaurant taking, on average, 50 orders a week only one person has completed the challenge. The traditional Italian calzone dough is hand-made on the premises and filled with tomato, mozzarella, goat’s cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, ham and olives. The...
