Everybody loves Pepperoni Pizza

 Well it looks as though winter is finally amongst us.  Roads are slippery, its thinking of getting cold outside, Christmas has passed and we are into a new year! HAPPY NEW YEARS!! (a little late I know...lol)  We have been searching lately for ideas for our new menu, and doing so has brought me to many wonder picture sights, and looked at countless pictures of delicious looking pizza!  I t has really made me feel the need to post a few of our pizza's.  The ones that don't get as much thrill and excitement but are almost always the first to get ordered every time.  The picture above is our Double Pepperoni, a basic pizza with loads of fresh pepperoni covered with our finest cheese.  "That doesn't look like a regular pepperoni pizza" you may say as the Pepperoni should be on the top of the cheese.  I have tried multiple different pepperoni types.  The dry cured pepperoni that most of you are familiar with, are the little circles "the classic pepperoni pizza"!  We tried these out, as for flavour it is really hard to beat, very strong delicious flavour. We found this pepperoni to be far to greasy , so we have gone with the big rounds that when under the cheese bring out far more of their natural flavor.

So what, exactly, is pepperoni? Pepperoni got its name from the Italian word "peperoni" meaning large peppers as in bell peppers. The first reference to pepperoni in print is from 1919, Which was the period when pizzerias and Italian butcher shops began to flourish in the united states. They started producing a spicy italian-american variety of dry salami made of pork and beef. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of southern Italy. It is an air-dried spicy sausage with a few distinctive characteristics: it is fine-grained, lightly smoky, bright red and relatively soft. But one thing it is not: Italian. 

Since pepperoni was introduced it has quickly become the most popular pizza topping in north America. Americans consume an average of 251,000,000 pounds every year! That means that 36% of the pizzas that are sold every year have the pepperoni on them!

Pepperoni is one of those wonderful meats that go with almost any topping.  Shown above is one of our MENU items. This is a Pepperoni, Mushroom, and Green Pepper Pizza.  Which is a very popular choice for Kelowna Pizza eaters!  One of our most popular pepperoni pizzas would be the Canadian Pizza. It is simply pepperoni, topped with mushrooms, mozzarella, and real bacon! It is a real favorite around here!
