5.0 out of 5 stars A Flavor Explosion - The Perfect Pepperoni for Pizza Lovers
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024
Battistoni's Cup & Char Spicy Pepperoni is a revelation for any pepperoni enthusiast, and it's an absolute delight that deserves a resounding five-star rating. This pepperoni is not just an ingredient; it's the star of any dish it graces, especially homemade pizzas.

The first thing you notice about this pepperoni is its superb quality. Each slice is perfectly crafted, with just the right thickness, to achieve that desirable cup and char effect when cooked. This adds a delightful texture and enhances the flavor, making each bite a crunchy, savory treat.

The spice level is another standout feature. It's the perfect balance - spicy enough to add a kick but not so overpowering that it masks the rich, meaty flavor of the pepperoni. This makes it versatile for various palates and suitable for a range of dishes, from pizzas to charcuterie boards.

Moreover, the flavor profile of Battistoni's pepperoni is complex and satisfying. There's a depth to the taste that comes from high-quality ingredients and expert seasoning. It's a noticeable step up from your average pepperoni, offering a gourmet experience right in your kitchen.

Cooking with this pepperoni is a joy. It crisps up beautifully, with the edges curling into small cups that capture its own rendered fat, adding an extra layer of flavor to your pizzas or appetizers. Whether used as a topping or enjoyed on its own, it's consistently delicious and satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tasting pepperoni ever
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
I purchased this pepperoni to put on homemade pizza. Wow...this is the BEST TASTING pepperoni I have ever had. It has a nice spice taste to it. It is so good I told my sister about it and told her to get some. I ordered a second package. This will be my go to pepperoni for now on. Oh...and I like the size and how it curls up on the edges after being cooked on pizza. You have to try it!

Wow, are these ever some spicy Pepperoni. Full of flavor with some kick of heat. Like the way these curl up when cooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Might be better out there but it's pretty decent

These are my pizza making go to's. Trying to make good pies and doing ok. These guys are better than what I could find at my supermarket. I did notice some pepperoni's at my alternative market last time I went, that I may have to try out. I guess what I am saying is that they work and are good, but I don't know much and there are probably better options. For the price though, you might as well try them out. They are good and closest I have found to Marco's curly pepperoni, that I really liked. Marco's abandoned my town when family video went out of business several years ago. They were renting in the same building and now we have a dollar general there. Yay! It is basically just dominos or pizza hut in my town now, so I am trying to learn how to make a decent pie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cup and char champion
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
If you like pepperoni with a little spice then buy this one. Those who say you have to peel each piece are wrong. That would be like peeling your hot dogs and sausages. Put this on your pizza as is and enjoy. Beautiful crispy curl and a little pool of grease in the middle, yum!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cups nice - but not my favorite in flavor
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021
Pros: good cupping, I think it would char more if my oven went hotter, cost, heat

Cons: flavor wasn't my favorite out of the various pepperoni I've had. It's hard to nail down the exact flavor. Heat is pleasant (probably too hot for kids). They are very thin (not necessarily bad) and stuck to each other in a big lump in the bag.

Not horrible but probably will look elsewhere on my next purchase.
