Stromboli

Tyrrhenian volcanic island

Stromboli is a type of Italian-American turnover made by rolling pizza dough around fillings—typically cured meats, cheese, and vegetables—then baking until golden.

Unlike calzones, which are folded and crimped, stromboli is rolled into a log shape and sliced to serve: We ordered a pepperoni stromboli to share.

Named after the volcanic Italian island.
