The name of this pizza roll comes from the Stromboli volcano. In the 1950s, there was the famous movie “Stromboli” with Ingrid Bergmann and the rolled pizza bread was also invented back then.
However, the recipe is not originally Italian, but comes from America. In Philadelphia in the 1950s, a restaurant owner with Italian roots began selling rolled-up pizza dough with a filling of ham, cheese and peppers. He named his creation “Stromboli”.
