The origins of stromboli aren’t clear, but the turnover made with pizza dough and typically filled with mozzarella, Italian meats, vegetables and other pizza ingredients was likely invented by either Italian immigrants or Italian-Americans in Philadelphia. Similar to a calzone, stromboli is usually made by rolling out pizza dough, adding toppings, rolling it into a log and baking it, though some pizzerias make it by folding dough in half much like the crescent-shaped calzone.
The top 10 winners in the category Best Stromboli in Pennsylvania are as follows:
- Dino's Pizza of Warminster - Warminster
- DelGrosso's Amusement Park - Tipton
- Collegeville Italian Bakery Pizzeria Napoletana - Collegeville
- Sorrento Restaurant & Pizzeria - Freeland
- Cacia's Bakery - Philadelphia
- La Rosa Pizza - Philadelphia
- Big Jim's - Pittsburgh
- Nat's Pizza - Doylestown
- Giuseppe's Pizza - Lansdale
- New York Stromboli - Allentown
A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to picked the initial 20 nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote. Experts Megan Dugery and Gianna Leflar (@swagfoodphilly), Jill Gleeson (gleesonreboots.com) and Sharon Rigney (10Best Local Expert) were chosen based on their knowledge and experience of the state food scene.
