I get pepperoni out of our grocery store deli quite often. It is sandwich size though. I believe the brand is Prima Della. It is about as big around as a tennis ball.

I like Boar's Head, but whatever you use, buy the stick and slice your own. The pre sliced is usually too thin.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

if it is that big then for pizza do you cut it in pieces? How's the taste compared to Hormel? -
Centex is a salami expert.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

The taste is a lot better than any pre packaged stuff. It's a lot fresher. Or seems to be. I haven't used it on pizza but I suppose you could leave it as is or cut it up either way.

I see BH at our Kroger store, guess I just never saw pepperoni there...I better just go ask and sample some, huh? -
Look for a good shop I buy this from a international market deli. Its tops.

@RRP. The BH is spicier than Hormel, and seems to curl, or cup more when baked on a pizza. More like old world pepperoni rather than the American style Hormel.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

@Zmokin yeah, but there are definitely two distinct styles. The "American style" stays flat when cooked. The "Old World Style" curls and cups when cooked. Usually spicier.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

I've seen both sluiced and whole pepperoni in the grocery stores I got to. The packaged stuff is just ok. I had a pizza class today for the egg and will be post photos and a thread on it tomorrow from what I learned. It was 4 hours of heaven.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Look for a thin stick and don't buy the Hormel ones sitting out on the shelf with the bread shaped pizza shells. The ones in the deli cases are usually good and in most cases I see them in a refridgerated case.
When I get them home I actually unwrap them and throw them in the refridgerator drawer that we keep lunch meat in. Let it stay in there for weeks. It will dry out and get hard. That's better. Then slice it thin for snacks or pizzas!
Hormel does make long thin ones in some supermarkets, but again, not the ones that are vacuum packed and out in the middle of the food store. The good ones are near a deli case of some sort.

I'm a expert at eating them, but that's where my expertise stops. Sorry brother.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

I always buy the Boars Head in the deli. ;;)Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

Our local Walmart sells a couple different types. I had always bought hormel. Then I noticed some in the deli section and had it sliced. Not sure of brand but can check tomorrow if needed. It is bigger as said above I just quarter it for pizza. And it is actually cheaper than the bagged hormel. And IMO better. The other type is a whole stick that is of smaller diameter. It is located where they keep beef jerkey and summer sausage. It had good flavor but is a little spicy for my taste. But I am not a fan of heat either.Henderson TN. 1 large BGE, 1 Webber Gasser (recently seems to have converted into a warming oven)

I used to buy Margherita stick pepperoni. Sometimes BH. Once i tried stick, i never went back to presliced. No contest. Love the cupping, the pools of oil and especially the charred edges! Wish I could still eat salty fatty greasy crap like that.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
