What is Calzone spelled in Italian? Stephenchao 19:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Stephenchao

How can something Italian be authentically made with Monterey Jack which is about as Italian as vodka and caviar?

[edit] Stromboli vs Calzone: Sauce in or out?

In practice, I've noticed that Stromboli's usually contain pizza or marinara sauce, while calzones are accompanied by a separate dipping sauce and no sauce inside the calzone itself. I have no idea how to confirm this, aside from looking up recipe's online, but what sort of authority do online recipes represent? So for the moment, I'm asking around for opinions.

I don't think you'll find one authoritative source (excuse the pun) on that. Here in South Australia we have a very large Italian community and calzone are all large afairs (the size of a large pizza) that are a meal in themselves. There's no way one would consider eating a calzone AND something else at the same meal. Also due to their size, dipping is out of the question. They are placed on a plate with a laddle of bolognese sauce poured on top. I think you'll find this is a regional issue with no "right answer". Best to document the differences than have endless arguments with no conclusion. --Monotonehell 06:17, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

These articles should be merged into this one, because they are variants on the Italian original (Calzone), and are American derivatives.

I don't know about Stromboli, but having eaten Panzerotti in Milan from a place called Luini, I can confirm that they're popular in Italy, not just the USA. The Rough Guide claims that Luini have been serving Panzerotti for over 150 years, so if it is indeed an American invention it was re-exported to Italy a long while ago.
