My stromboli is way less cheesy and different cheese from pizza, and more variety of meats. When I say my stromboli, it's actually any stromboli I've ever had anywhere, but I can't speak for what you had. I use capicola, salami, ham, along those lines, it makes up the bulk of the filling. Provolone. I personally do more of an envelope than a roll, but that's my preference. nancy |
