Pepperoni Pizza FAQs
Common questions people ask before voting and visiting restaurants.
This is often referred to as "cup and char." It happens when the pepperoni is sliced with its natural casing still on; as the pizza bakes at high heat, the casing shrinks faster than the meat, pulling the edges upward. These little cups are prized by pizza fans because they hold onto the flavorful, spicy oils and develop extra-crispy, blackened edges.
While names vary by shop, a Double Pepperoni usually means you get a double portion of the standard topping. A Pepperoni Feast (or "Pepperoni Passion") often includes extra mozzarella cheese alongside the extra meat to balance the saltiness. If you prefer a crispier pizza, "Double Pepperoni" is better, as too much extra cheese can sometimes make the base slightly softer.
Pepperoni naturally releases oil as the fat melts during baking. To manage this when ordering, you can ask for the pizza to be "well done," which helps crisp the meat and evaporate some moisture. If it arrives too oily, a quick dab with a paper towel is the standard "fix," but choosing a thin-crust base can also help, as there is less dough to soak up the oils.
