Know your folds before you order at Troni Brothers Pizza!
If you’ve ever stood at the counter at Troni Brothers Pizza trying to decide between a calzone and a stromboli, you’re not alone. They’re both golden, baked pockets of pizza perfection—but they’re not the same thing. Let’s break down the delicious differences so you can order with confidence (and maybe even brag a little to your foodie friends).
🥟 What is a Calzone?
A calzone is basically a folded pizza. Originating in Naples, Italy, calzones are made by folding a round piece of pizza dough in half, sealing the edges, and baking it until golden. Inside, you’ll usually find:
- Ricotta cheese (a calzone staple)
- Mozzarella
- Optional fillings like pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, or spinach
Key Traits:
- Half-moon shape
- Traditionally served with marinara on the side for dipping
- Dough is sealed at the edge like a turnover
At Troni Brothers Pizza:
Our calzones are stuffed fresh to order and loaded with creamy ricotta and melty mozzarella. Customize yours with your favorite toppings and enjoy it dipped in our house marinara.
🍕 What is a Stromboli?
The stromboli hails from the good old U.S.A., specifically Philadelphia in the 1950s. It’s more like a rolled pizza or a savory pastry log. We layer meats, cheese, and sometimes sauce, roll it up jelly-roll style, seal the ends, and bake it to golden perfection.
Key Traits:
- Long, rolled shape
- Usually has sauce baked inside
- More like a pizza-sandwich hybrid
At Troni Brothers Pizza:
Our strombolis are hearty, cheesy, and perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself. Packed with meats, cheese, and flavor in every bite.
So… Which One Should You Order?
If you’re in the mood for something creamy, cheesy, and foldable—go with a calzone. If you’re craving something loaded, rolled, and hearty—say hello to the stromboli.
Better yet, bring a friend and try both. At Troni Brothers Pizza, we’re proud to serve both of these Italian-American classics, made fresh, baked to perfection, and always crafted with love.
