About

If you're in the mood for the taste of pizza, but want to switch it up ever so slightly, give the Best Homemade Stromboli a try! It has the melty cheese, the savory meats, and the tangy sauce you're craving. But rather than it all lying flat on the crust, those delightful ingredients are rolled up in the flaky, soft, pillow-y nest instead. That sounds quite delicious! Be careful because with one taste, the Best Homemade Stromboli might just replace your traditional pizza on pizza night!
