Sliced Salami
Charcuti Sliced Pepperoni is a deliciously savoury, lightly spiced pork sausage, conveniently sliced and ready to add to your favourite dishes. With its rich, smoky-style flavour, distinctive red colour and satisfying texture, this sliced pepperoni is a classic choice for homemade pizzas, toasted sandwiches, pasta bakes and Italian-American inspired cooking.
Seasoned with paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano and garlic, Charcuti Pepperoni delivers a well-rounded combination of savoury pork flavour, gentle warmth and aromatic spices. The thin slices are particularly good on pizza, where the edges can become slightly crisp during baking while the natural oils bring extra flavour to the melted mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Pepperoni is one of those ingredients that works well beyond a traditional pizza topping. Layer it into a toasted panini with mozzarella, scatter it over loaded potato skins or chop it into a rich tomato pasta sauce. Its distinctive seasoning pairs beautifully with ingredients such as roasted peppers, olives, mushrooms, fresh basil and mature Cheddar.

Recipe Inspiration:
- Classic Pepperoni Pizza: Spread a thin layer of tomato pizza sauce over freshly stretched pizza dough, then add grated mozzarella and a generous scattering of Charcuti Sliced Pepperoni. Bake in a hot oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Finish with fresh basil and a drizzle of chilli oil.
- Pepperoni and Mozzarella Pizza Rolls: Roll out pizza dough into a rectangle and spread with tomato sauce. Layer with sliced pepperoni, mozzarella and a little dried oregano, then roll tightly and cut into individual spirals. Bake until golden for a delicious savoury snack or addition to a sharing platter.
- Creamy Pepperoni Pasta Bake: Cook penne pasta and combine with a rich tomato and mascarpone sauce, sliced pepperoni, roasted red peppers and a handful of spinach. Transfer to an ovenproof dish, top with mozzarella and Parmesan, then bake until golden and bubbling.
- Pepperoni and Hot Honey Loaded Fries: Prepare a tray of crispy skin-on fries and scatter over chopped pepperoni and grated mozzarella. Return to the oven until the cheese has melted, then finish with a drizzle of hot honey, sliced spring onions and a spoonful of garlic mayonnaise.
Why does pepperoni sometimes curl and crisp around the edges on pizza?
Pepperoni can curl during baking because the sausage casing, meat and fat react differently to heat. As the slices cook, moisture evaporates and the edges may contract, creating slightly raised, crispy cups. The amount of curling depends on the thickness of the slices, their composition and the oven temperature.
How much sliced pepperoni should I use on a 12-inch pizza?
For a standard 12-inch pizza, approximately 50–80g of sliced pepperoni is a useful starting point, depending on how generously you like your toppings. This means a 1kg pack could provide enough pepperoni for approximately 12–20 pizzas. Spacing the slices evenly helps ensure each portion has a good balance of pepperoni, cheese and sauce.
Should pepperoni go above or below the cheese on a pizza?
Both methods work, but they produce slightly different results. Placing pepperoni on top of the mozzarella allows the edges to brown and crisp, giving the pizza a more pronounced pepperoni flavour. Layering it underneath the cheese keeps the slices softer and allows their seasoning to infuse into the melted mozzarella. For a traditional pepperoni pizza with crispy edges, we recommend placing the slices on top.
