ROSA GRANDE®Cup & Char Pepperoni, Sliced, 16 slices per oz, 2/5 lb
This premium cup & char pepperoni is made to give pizzas that photo-worthy look guests notice.

Q: What makes ROSA GRANDE® Cup & Char Pepperoni different from other cup & char pepperoni?
A: Pizzaiolos love the product’s quality, consistency and cup-and-char performance, while its consistent slice thickness, recipe and 16 slices-per-ounce target help support reliable portioning and predictable performance from case to case.
Q: What does exact slice count mean, and why does it matter?
A: When pepperoni is cut to an exact slice count instead of a range, you gain consistent yield and know exactly how many pizzas each case will cover. Switching from “16 – 18 slices per oz” to “16 slices per oz exact” ensures the full yield, and that precision can mean hundreds more slices per case and a stronger bottom line.
Q: How does refrigerated packaging help with handling?
A: Because this product is refrigerated, not frozen, slices are designed to separate more easily at the make line. The back-flushed packaging also helps protect freshness, color and flavor, so you get a product that is easier to handle without the sticking issues that can happen when frozen slices thaw.
Q: What should I look at when comparing pepperoni options?
A: Look beyond case price and compare the full picture: slice count, portion control, handling, consistency, flavor, appearance and how the product performs during service. A pepperoni that costs less on the invoice may not deliver the same value if it slows down the line, creates waste or produces inconsistent pizzas.
Q: How does ROSA GRANDE® Pepperoni support a premium menu position?
A: The thick-cut slice, crispy curled edges, visible char and pooled pepperoni flavor help create a pizza that looks and eats differently from a standard pepperoni pie. That makes it a strong option for signature pizzas, LTOs and premium pepperoni builds.
Q: What is the shelf life?
A: The shelf life gives you 120 total code days when kept refrigerated at 28°F–40°F.
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 16 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.
