5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious On Pizza & I’m Not Even A Pepperoni Fan
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020
This Vermont uncured smoked pepperoni is the best. I’m not much of a pepperoni fan as it usually has chemical preservatives and is too greasy and heavy for me. But my son likes it on pizza, so I bought this uncured pepperoni (which has naturally occurring nitrates from swiss chard) as a topping for homemade pizzas I’ve been making while at home so much lately.

While I tend to eat vegetarian toppings on my own pizza or make a BBQ chicken pizza, I caved and ate pizza with the pepperoni and was surprised how good it tastes and how It has a good texture. Adding a modest amount adds a lot of flavor that’s meaty, smoky, a little spicy and salty. Vermont tastes less processed to me than other brands.

I’ve bought four sticks (two orders of two sticks), and we’ve polished off three sticks. They tasted totally fresh and had reasonable expiration dates. This pepperoni comes unsliced, and I just slice it all at once just after opening and freeze what I won’t use within a couple days. The taste and texture are still excellent even after freezing.

This is a pork pepperoni with beef casing. It’s salty and fatty like other pepperoni, but once well cooked it has a nice even color and doesn’t have icky visible pieces of fat. Some oil pools like other pepperoni, and we like to blot the excess as a matter of preference. For me, the $6.64 price I’ve paid per package is reasonable for the quality. Gluten Free. Love it. 5 stars.

This was what I was looking for without a lot of "bad" ingredients so I could enjoy a homemade pizza. A sharp knife made it easy to slice and the casing came off with ease.

4.0 out of 5 stars My advice, get it sliced

Delicious, high quality product, with a smoky spicy sweet flavor. For a crispy cupping effect on pizza though, it’s best thinly and uniformly sliced; a tedious job by hand.

We bought this pepperoni sausage for a homemade pizza. The flavor was very well rounded and I wondered why I ever chose those bags of pepperoni already sliced! This was so much better you should really try it. Make sure to peel off the casing before slicing it !

No nitrates or nitrites is why I chose this pepperoni. Those curing agents kick off my gout. Free of those agents I can enjoy pepperoni pizza again. Thank you Vermont Smoke and Cure!

3.0 out of 5 stars Bordering on bland
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024
I ordered this twice, why the 2nd? Because the first amazon package was sealed with nothing in it. Could not get a refund or replacement, which was maddening. Wanting to try it based on a recommendation from a person I trust, spun the wheel and ordered again. I found the product easy to slice with a good sharp knife. Tasted it, found the texture a tad mealy, but, needed to add to pizza to be fair. I thought it lacked the pepper spice I was looking for and the product was very greasy on top of the finished pizza. The main takeaway for me was greasy, more salty than spicy. ymmv, but, no need for me to order again.

Took a chance and I wish I had gotten more. It's so good! Good, flavorful pepperoni with great texture. Unlike some of the cheap pepperoni we come across when ordering pizza. Definitely worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Huge drop in quality
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2022
Update 2: I've had to drop this from 5 stars to 1. The first one I got was amazing. The second one was rotten, and the third was all slimy and smelled like fish. And not being returnable, I feel like a sucker for trying it so many times.

Update: Not changing the stars, but the product needs sturdier plastic to protect it. I received one with ripped plastic and the meat was rotten.

Original review: I bought the product due to a YT review I saw on it. Wasn't disappointed! I just ordered some more as well as two other products from this company.

I read some reviews that suggested they thought this was expensive. You get what you pay for. Top tier meats cost top tiers to produce. I wish this was cheaper too, but having made summer sausage myself understand that the only way to do that is to sell a crappier product. I'd rather enjoy this less often at high quality than get quantity over quality. There are plenty of cheaper products available if that is what one is looking for.
