Pepperoni Pizza Day

🍕

Hey there, pizza lovers! Do you know what’s the tastiest thing that’s alliterative?
No, it’s not pickles and peanut butter. It’s pepperoni pizza! And what’s even better is that there’s a whole day dedicated to this delicious dish.
As lovers of all things pizza, we cannot stress enough how important it is to celebrate this day with style and especially pizzazz!

Pepperoni vs salami

What’s the difference between pepperoni and salami?
Pepperoni is a type of salami that has a finer texture and is mainly spiced with peppers. Hence the name “pepperoni” which is a playful distortion of the word “peperoni” which is the plural of “peperone” which means “bell pepper”!
So, pepperoni was originally made as a bell pepper flavored salami.
Because of this emphasis on bell pepper taste, pepperoni usually has a less complicated mix of spices specifically selected to complement the pepper taste. Also the spicier types of pepper are also thrown in for good measure because people often expect pepperoni to be all kinds of pepper taste.

As for the origins of Pepperoni Pizza Day, it’s probably a conspiracy by the pizza industry to sell more pepperoni.
Or just a great excuse to eat pepperoni pizza.

How to celebrate

So, how do we celebrate this amazing day? Well, there are plenty of options. You could have a quiet night in, snuggled up with your favorite stuffed animals and a pepperoni pizza, in the comfort of your own home, without any peer pressure or judgment.
Or, you could invite all your loved ones over for a pizza party extravaganza.
If you’re on a budget, don’t worry! You can still celebrate with a homemade pizza or even a frozen one.
But if you’re feeling exuberant, you can go all out and order a pizza from your favorite pizzeria.

Now, let’s talk about how to make the perfect pepperoni pizza.
First things first, preheat your oven to 425°F, roll out your dough to your desired thickness.
Next, spread a generous amount of tomato sauce over the crust, followed by a healthy helping of mozzarella cheese.
spread your sauce on top, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese.
And of course, the star of the show – pepperoni! Arrange those spicy little discs of goodness all over the pizza and pop it in the oven.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melted and bubbly. And voila! You have a delicious pepperoni pizza. 

Safety tips

Don’t forget to wash your hands before handling the pizza dough and toppings.
Be careful when using the oven, as it can get really hot.
Don’t burn the roof of your mouth on that first bite! Which iss easy to do when you’re so excited to sink your teeth into that delicious pizza.
