628318 Tue Jun 16 00:37:25 -0700 2009 20 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 4776674 does anyone have any recommendations about where i might find good stromboli? i'm in arlington, but will travel for a good stromboli. by the way, why don't more pizza places make stromboli, too? Tue Jun 16 00:37:26 -0700 2009 105717 alkapal 1 4777242 There's a pizza place that makes a decent stromboli at Fairfax City Mall, just west of Pickett Street on Little River Turnpike/Main Street. Also has acceptable pizza by the slice. Can't recall the name right now. Tue Jun 16 07:37:17 -0700 2009 4776674 50613 weezycom 2 4777700 mama lucia? Tue Jun 16 09:23:09 -0700 2009 4777242 105717 alkapal 1 4777337 I think the pizza place by Lord and Taylor in Tysons makes stromboli their pizza is pretty good. It is upstairs by the bead place, forget the name. Tue Jun 16 08:03:21 -0700 2009 4776674 92426 ktmoomau 2 4777648 luciano's? great! i like their pizza. Tue Jun 16 09:12:16 -0700 2009 4777337 105717 alkapal 1 4777800 I like the stromboli and calzones at Faccia Luna. I always ask for extra sauce on the side for dipping. Tue Jun 16 09:43:53 -0700 2009 4776674 114246 ATM 2 4778024 alright -- here in my neck of the woods! http://www.faccialuna.com/menu/arlington.htm thanks. Tue Jun 16 10:29:05 -0700 2009 4777800 105717 alkapal 1 4778070 BTW because I know you are a big home cook. Martha Stewart's everyday food a couple months ago had a recipe for broccoli stromboli that you make with store bought pizza dough that is really good. http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/broccoli-tomato-and-mozzarella-stromboli?autonomy_kw=brocoli%20stromboli&rsc=header_1 I forgot about Faccia Luna. I love stromboli too will have to go as I love how reasonably priced they normally are, but think their pizza if it has meat topping is a little salty. I know this is awful, but I used to get the stromboli with extra sauce at Mama Sbarros in the Annapolis mall when I worked at the mall. With a cup of extra sauce it wasn't that bad. I hate to think about how bad for me it probably was... Now I make the martha stewart one because I can use low fat cheese and etc and it is still good, but not quite as bad for me. Tue Jun 16 10:38:30 -0700 2009 4776674 92426 ktmoomau 2 4780609 I'll stick my neck out for ya... the stromboli at Sbarros are pretty decent. They aren't going to win any awards, but they'll take care of a craving. Wed Jun 17 06:39:26 -0700 2009 4778070 129741 gregb 1 4785596 I had a delicious stromboli at Pomodoro's at Fairfax Town Center. http://www.pomodoropastapizza.com Thu Jun 18 15:06:09 -0700 2009 4776674 10156 Steve 2 4786630 I forgot about them. On the pizza side I love the quattro stagioni. Fri Jun 19 01:28:12 -0700 2009 4785596 11368 Dennis S 2 4786637 steve, in some strombolis, they use "ham." what kind of ham, if you know? this place is near the tjmaxx -- that shopping strip? ps, the shrimp dish on the home page of their website looks delicioso! thanks for the heads up -- and dennis, too, for the quattro stagioni, one of my faves. prices are very reasonable, to boot! Fri Jun 19 01:48:28 -0700 2009 4785596 105717 alkapal 3 4789127 I don't know much about the ham.... also I don't usually go to this shopping center much. I don't think anything in this area is like you'd get up in Joisey, but Pomodoro's produces a very tasty version. Fri Jun 19 19:53:17 -0700 2009 4786637 10156 Steve 1 4790185 Hey alkapal - just to cover bases - not in NOVA of course, but have you gone to Stromboli's in Bethesda/Rockville? They have frozen ones that you can bring home. When we're in the area we'll often get one or two for the freezer. Sat Jun 20 10:18:55 -0700 2009 4776674 11368 Dennis S 2 4791354 dennis, thanks. no i haven't been there, but will check it out when i'm up that way, though that is rare. they have a nice variety, and it looks like a cute place, too: http://www.strombolisrestaurant.com/ Sat Jun 20 20:26:03 -0700 2009 4790185 105717 alkapal 3 4791635 It is a neat little place. It was one of the first places I was introduced to in the area - even living then in Reston as I do again now. I remember the pizza as being good, but over the past 4-5 years, have only picked up frozen, and maybe one hot for me while doing so. Heck - haven't been up that way now for 6 months at least. Sun Jun 21 03:25:45 -0700 2009 4791354 11368 Dennis S 1 4796447 Does anyone know what became of Pizza D' Resistance? Used to be in Arlington/Courthouse. They made the absolute best calzone I have ever had. Were they located in what is now Toscana? Mon Jun 22 18:04:48 -0700 2009 4776674 1084729 overlander 2 4832576 overlander, i think that toscana came into the pizza d'resistance space right after pdr closed. Mon Jul 06 06:10:27 -0700 2009 4796447 105717 alkapal 1 4829527 Alkapal - remembered this post the other day when I was at Santini's - they have calzones. I've not had those, but the pizza is decent enough to warrant an investigation. They have an outpost in Reston and Oakton, at least. I also think Paisano's has them, but I haven't had anything yet at any of their places. Anything I could find on this place seems lukewarm at best, and no one commented on a request I put out about them. Sat Jul 04 12:04:49 -0700 2009 4776674 11368 Dennis S 2 4832579 i'll tell you where NOT to get calzones: pie-tanza! Mon Jul 06 06:11:34 -0700 2009 4829527 105717 alkapal 1 4834481 Edgardo's in Landmark used to have a good stromboli. It's been forever since I've been there, though, so who knows if it's any good any more. (Also once very good there were the sandwiches, especially the tuna & white bean.)
