Stromboli pizza is a recipe, which contrary to what one may think from its name, actually has its roots in the American culinary tradition.
It is a pizza dough which is stuffed and then rolled on itself so that each slice has a rich and very intense filling.
Pizza Stromboli is usually stuffed with tomato, mozzarella and ham or various vegetables, but there are so many combinations.
