FAQs

Q: What makes HORMEL® THE PERFORMANCE PEPPERONI® different from other lay-flat pepperoni?

A: It is built for operators who need pepperoni to perform the same way from case to case. HORMEL® THE PERFORMANCE PEPPERONI® Brand is made with precise fat-to-lean ratios, controlled cooking and drying, precision slicing, target slice counts and backflushed packaging, all designed to support consistent flavor, appearance, handling and bake performance.

Q: How does this pepperoni help during a busy rush?

A: Precision slicing and strong dealability help slices separate more easily, so crews can portion and apply pepperoni faster at the make line. That means less sticking, less frustration and more consistent pizza builds when ticket volume is high.

Q: What product features should I look at when evaluating a lay-flat pepperoni?

A: When evaluating a lay-flat pepperoni, look for the features that impact consistency, handling and finished pizza quality. Slice thickness, target slice count, dealability and fat-to-lean ratio all matter because they affect how easily the pepperoni handles, how consistently your team can portion it and how it performs through the bake. You should also consider color, particle definition, grease-out and whether the product resists cupping, charring and edge burn. A strong lay-flat pepperoni should help you build the same great-looking pizza from case to case, shift to shift and store to store.

Q: Why does exact slice count matter when evaluating pepperoni cost?

A: Exact slice count helps you understand the true value of a case, not just the invoice price. A lower case price may look better upfront, but if the product is sold with a slice-count range, you could end up with fewer usable slices per case even when the case weight is the same. HORMEL® THE PERFORMANCE PEPPERONI® Brand is sliced to exact specs, helping operators know how many slices they’re getting, how many pizzas each case can cover and what the product actually costs per pizza. Switching a range-count to an exact-count product ensures the full yield, and that precision can mean hundreds more slices per case and a stronger bottom line.

Q: What does “dealability” mean, and why does it matter?

A: Dealability refers to how easily pepperoni slices separate and apply to the pizza. Good dealability helps keep the make line moving, reduces stuck or torn slices and makes it easier for teams to build pizzas consistently during service.

Preparation Method

Ready to eat. Fully cooked.

STEP 1: Keep refrigerated at 28°F–40°F until ready to use.

STEP 2: Open the back-flushed package and transfer slices to your make-line pan or prep station.

STEP 3: Portion according to your operation’s build standards. The exact 14 slices per ounce helps support consistent topping portions and predictable food cost.

STEP 4: Apply slices evenly to pizza, flatbread or other menu builds. For best cup-and-char effect, place slices on top of the cheese and bake according to your standard oven, crust style and finished product standards.

Suggested Use

Great as a pizza topping or as an ingredient. Also great for pasta dishes.
