I was skeptical -- This is an unknown (to me) brand that advertises itself as spicy.Is it good? Yes, it is really good.Is it spicy? Yes, but mildly spicy. I'm very much a spicy-hot wimp and I had no problem with this pepperoni.Were there enough slices in the bag? Yes. I was able to make 4 personal pizzas each with a lot of pepperoni on them.Would I buy it again? Absolutely yes. This one's a winner.

We just got a pizza oven so we’re testing different recipes. I wanted a traditional pepperoni pizza and these cup up perfectly, are tasty without being too spicy and not greasy. Next round I’m tripling the amount they are really yummy!

This is a great cupping pepperoni for pizza. The flavor is strong and spicy as advertised. The flavor is also a bit smoky.Not so great for a salad though.Would buy again.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect flavor. Tastes exactly like Mountain Mikes pepperonis. Crispy and cuppy. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and flavor.Not shipped great, though. I can see why some buyers had issues with mold. No ice packs or anything to keep them fresh. Mine were delivered in 100 degrees and sat on my porch for hours in a regular Amazon bag.Prepare for tmi. So much grease, which I was happy to negotiate for flavor. However, prepare to have a sudden bathroom run. I have no known aversions to foods and this had me running to the bathroom. I soon learned everyone who ate this pizza did too. So, buyer beware.

Excellent slightly spicy pepperoni that I have used twice on homemade pizzas... I did have one issue with the shipment but it was Amazon's fault, and the seller resolved the issue quickly and independently...very happy!

cups good and isn't too spicy. definitely a premium product

Taste good and cooks as advertised. Cut a little thicker than I prefer. The real negative issue was the packages said use by June 2024 and they arrivedearly October 2024
