Sometimes I crave a true, authentic, Italian dish with the right cheeses, traditional sauces, and love cooked right into the pasta. Other times, I go to the Olive Garden
Lol it’s regional and always fun to stir shit up and make people argue their locally-adjusted version of an imported recipe is correct. Most places do not put sauce inside though and many don’t even serve the sauce
Honestly it’s so weird. I’ve been all over and have seen a lot of calzones with sauce inside, and I’ve seen most strombolis without sauce but with ricotta. But it’s still a gamble unless their menu specifically says how they make it.
I prefer the sauce on the side, so I usually get a stromboli, ask for a container of sauce, and roll the dice unless it’s a place I know.
Like all exported recipes, it’s regional. It’s like how American pizza is quite different from Italy. But true pizza isn’t the #1 food in the world, now is it? I mean American pizza probably isn’t either when other cuisines win by shear population by who’s counting
Calzones aren’t supposed to have sauce inside though
Every calzone I’ve ever eaten has had sauce. And I only buy the really high quality authentic ones from Sbarro.
The food court kings.

Wait what
Please start a battle with Wikipedia editors over the tomato sauce calzone in this article.

… Did you read your own link or no? It says “some places put sauce on top right before serving” which is what’s pictured
I’m referring to the picture, which has sauce. Which I thought was funny.
Fair, it is a very saucy calzone that definitely looks like some sauce is inside, though it may just be diced tomato under a sauce glop
You’re probably thinking of a stromboli.
You’re thinking of a pizza roll
Probably.
