Different regional variations in or on a calzone can often include other ingredients that are normally associated with pizza toppings. The term usually applies to an oven-baked turnover rather than a fried pastry (i.e. panzerotti), although calzones and panzerotti are often mistaken for each other.{{cite web

Stromboli, an Italian-American pizza turnover, is similar to calzone, and the two are sometimes confused.Shuster, Jim (May 10, 2012).
