Stromboli is an Italian-American creation originating from Philadelphia (just like cheesesteak!). Think of it as a rolled-up pizza cousin: dough stuffed with meats, cheeses, and veggies, baked until golden, and sliced into spirals of joy. Unlike calzones, which are folded, Stromboli is rolled, creating layers of flavor.
