This may seem similar to a calzone but in Eastern PA a calzone has ricotta cheese in it.

I am not saying you are wrong. I am stating what my experience in this region has been.

Oh, it is the same thing here. As I said I always thought the difference was sauce in side or not. Wasn't until I actually searched that I found the differences per Google.

stromboli here is a pizza basically folded in half, I have been to some places where there is sauce in them and a few that will ask if you want sauce inside.
I would imagine that he folded is far easier to make than the rolled one, so that is why it is made. Me if I want something like that I just want pizza because I like the browned cheese.

Not the thing starting here is deep fried stromboli. We stopped at a food truck last fall in Indiana county and that is what they did. They had regular ones, steak n cheese, buffalo chicken, ham n cheese, a sweet one. One of the local pizza places bought a small deep fried stromboli and had it set up at the Fire n ice festival a few weeks ago, now I see DF'd strombolis mentioned at a few other shops.

I think a deep fried stromboli is similar to a Chicago style pizza puff.
