Calzone
A calzone, called also Italian "stocking" or "trouser" or "drooping sack" or "hanging fold", is an Italian turnover made from pizza dough and stuffed with cheese (usually mozzarella cheese and Ricotta), ham or salami, vegetables, or a variety of other stuffings.
Stromboli are similar to but distinct from calzones, as calzones are pockets of dough filled with meat, cheese and vegetables, and stromboli can contain the same ingredients but are rolled into an oblong loaf.

Stromboli is reported to have originated in 1950 in Essington, PA, an unincorporated community in Tinicum Township just outside of Philadelphia, at Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, by Nazzareno Romano. There, William Schofield supposedly gave it the name, after the movie Stromboli, starring Ingrid Bergman.
