Sandwich Pepperoni

RRP

Posting this so as to not step in uninvited on the pizza thread @Que_n_Brew started this morning. I've been using this Boar's Head sandwich pepperoni on my pizzas for a while now. It is far more tasty than that Hormel brand. I just ask for X number of thin pieces to be cut at the deli.

I've never had deli counter pepperoni. I prefer the smaller diameter stick and I slice it myself. Margherita brand is tasty. Never Hormel. Love the way it cups and the charred edges.

Michael, is that Margherita brand regional out East? I'll try to find it this week.

I just did some research and found this link. Looks like I was on the right track for Boar's Head but the smaller natural casing instead. The link:

Don't know, Ron. Never looked for it elsewhere. Boars Head is supposed to be good too. 

just saw your Slice link. That's the stuff.

Just so happened I went to our local Kroger deli where I have been buying the 3" Boars Head sandwich pepperoni sliced thin. When I started to describe the high rating I read about the BH traditional pepperoni in natural casing she said follow me...and down at the end of the deli in an open air basket was a dozen of them! BTW no refrigeration is needed until opened and they are gluten free. The sealed tube is about 10" long and only cost $4.

I too used the Boar's Head sandwich Pepperoni for years, until I stumbled on their shelf stable stick of pepperoni.  It is excellent!

Thanks! If you scroll back up this thread I posred a link that evaluated several brands and the results were that this Boars Head natural casing was the winner for using on pizza! Looks like we found a winner, huh?

Boar's Head is a very good company. The only brand we buy of prepared meats. They were one of my customers and are very serious about food safety. Every time I entered one of their plants, I had to "suit up" like I was going into outer space. They have sanitation pools on both sides of each opening going from room to room and that's just a start. Highly recommended. Their spicy mustard and horseradish sauce ain't too shabby either.

Ron, do they have italian markets out there, i just go there and buy the white moldy stuff sitting in the counter. i stopped buying the supermarket stuff along time ago because it wouldnt cup right, just laid flat and wouldnt pool up with the tasty grease puddles
