Wikipedia wants to fight you over that statement

This looks like it has sauce ON it. Like a calzone.

If it is the same as a calzone, but has sauce IN it, then its not a calzone, its a stromboli.

I've never has a Calzone without red sauce and cheese.

A great combination, but if the red sauce was inside the calzone, that means you've never had a calzone. You have had strombolis.

Maybe you haven't had a Calzone in the US....

I live in the US.

I have had Calzones in the US. I have had Strombolis in the US.

I have made Calzones myself. I have made Strombolis myself.

I will say though, when someone serves me a Stromboli and calls it a Calzone, it is almost always a shit Stromboli.

To add: calzone necessitates ricotta.

My "from scratch" cooking journey started with hand mixed pizza dough, whole milk transmuted into ricotta, fresh veg... store bought mozzarella and a marinara made from canned tomatoes and dried seasonings.

Made calzones/strombolis once a week for months.

Highly recommend it.

High levels of "from scratch" pride, overall simple, super interesting and educating, and mid-low difficulty level, once you have a pizza stone and know how to use corn meal correctly.

Good point. This calzone checks out.
