Stromboli is the same in English and Italian. The Italian loan name references a volcanic isle whose etymology goes back to the Greek word Στρογγύλη (Strongulē, "round") whereas the Italian loan word refers to a cheese- and meat-filled, Pizza dough-encircled turnover popular among Italian-Americans. Either way, the pronunciation remains "STROM-bo-lee" in Italian.
