We use Ezzo at my place, it isn't common in South Louisiana. My supplier brings it in just for me, but a couple of suppliers do carry it. I have had people ID the pepperoni immediately when they tasted it and were so happy to have it after not having it for a long time. Our pepperoni isn't a cup and char, but have a cup and char Italian sausage that we use on a couple of pizzas.

Those pepperoni will cut the top of your mouth like that. When I was a kid there was some brand my grandmother would buy and it would cut the shite out of my mouth because it cupped.

I've always associated the little round pepperoni that cups with a lower cost and lower quality pizza... but I've now noticed that two of the best pizza places in our area use that style of pepperoni.

Edit: and aha! I just did a little digging, and they use Ezzo sausage pepperoni as well.

If you're ever in Northwest Arkansas, hit up Pizzeria Ruby... but get there early or be prepared to wait.

Your image reminded me that I haven't had a fried bologna sandwich in about a decade. I'm going to change that this week.


Made some fried bologna and cheese sandwiches a few months back. It had been many years since I had one, but they were great.

Lebanon bologna works good too.

I like it when the pepperoni gets a little crispy on the edges of the cups.

I'd rather have the pepperoni lay flat
Yup. Cupping peperoni people probably choose North up and have their TP come from under.

Please show your work.


In general cheap pepperoni has a fibrous casing which prevents it from cupping whereas most high-quality pepperoni uses collagen casings which will cup.

Love the char on cupped pepperoni. I get excited when I open a pizza box and see it

ETA didn't we have this same conversation like 6 months ago on here?

Ezzo was discussed at some point in the past

Couldn't disagree with your assessment more.

The top pizza looks like it came from the Kroger frozen food aisle.
