You know what’s better than a pizza? A calzone! These folded pizzas originated in Naples in the 18th century, and are often confused for their American-hybrid cousin, the Stromboli. While they’re both similar, a traditional calzone is always folded into a crescent shape and typically does not contain any tomato sauce inside, while the Stromboli tends to be formed into a rectangular shape and almost always includes tomato sauce.
Next time you’re on the hunt for a good calzone, consider stopping off at one of these fine Italian establishments where you’ll find some of the best calzones in New Orleans.
