HORMEL^® ROSA GRANDE^® Cup & Char Pepperoni, 4.54 kg

As it bakes, the slices curl and crisp at the edges, forming a raised bowl shape rather than lying flat. That curl produces visible char on the edges, a firmer bite, and small cups that hold post-bake toppings. Lay-flat delivers the classic even coverage most guests already know. Cup and char is the format for builds where a premium look and texture differentiation are part of the pitch.

Consistent slice thickness is the foundation. When every slice is cut to the same specification, the curl, coverage, and cook stay predictable pizza to pizza — portion cost and build appearance don’t drift shift to shift. Back-flushed packaging preserves freshness from production to the make line.

Plan for it. Because the slices curl as they bake, each piece covers less surface area than a flat slice of the same weight. Setting a fixed portion by weight before you build is the simplest way to hold coverage consistent. Once you’ve dialled in the right par, the process stays straightforward — the slices separate cleanly from the pack and are easy to place at pace.

Signature pepperoni pizza is the natural anchor, but the format adds value anywhere presentation is part of the sell. The cups hold post-bake drizzles well — hot honey, fresh ricotta, balsamic glaze — which makes this a strong candidate for premium LTOs, high-margin pizza builds, and dishes that photograph well for delivery platforms or social media. It layers into existing builds without new prep steps.

Keep frozen at -17.78°C. The product is fully cooked — open the package and portion directly onto the pizza. No thawing or additional prep step required.
