Hormel Cup & Crisp Pepperoni - 5oz

This purchase was based on previous purchasing I have done buying chili,some meats,the general things people buy.When sometimes food or other products get described by name instead of actual product.Like saying get Eric Crunchtastic Super cereal instead of get the frosted oat flake cluster cereal.Or what not,meaning Chili for me was asking for Hormel,and mom knew exactly what it was,didn't say bean or no bean,or what made by Hormel..Nope just grabbed with bean chili and made sure had saltine crackers.The pepperoni I had coupon on,so I was sent to get a pizza ,which I doubted even as I was told what to get. Walked the store,found pepperoni, no cup and crisp but every other one..Looked in Pizzas,never to see a Hormel brand pizza..Which is why I write,great pepperoni,not as good on clarity that the pepperoni is just being placed where it is used,as ingredient on pizza..Which I get it,this is why we buy it,even those of us who eat it out of package as is,it's ingredient.I am only trying to get two points across,I don't want to go tell my significant other they do not sell pizza so so have none,and secondly,Why does Hormel Not Make Their Own Pepperoni Pizza?maybe the contracts selling pepperoni to people you would be competing with in the pizza business keeps them out of the game. but for reals a sauce recipe some good crust and a cheese guru and Hormel has the best topping and most popular one already,along with name. It could be pick me up a Hormel,vs some Hormel. Knowing I mean a pizza and not some chili. or I am getting some Hormel and a Hormel on way home..get the Fritos ready along with my coke. Just a thought,a very hungry one..

Our favorite pepperoni. It curls up when you bake it. Delicious!

Compared to the greats, such as Hormel's own Rosa Grande, Battistoni Cup & Char or Ezzo GiAntonio, this 'roni is nearly tasteless. I have heard that the "bold" version has more flavor, but haven't seen it in stores as yet. That said, it does cup and crisp reliably, so the name is apt. Still, one wishes for more than merely mechanical merit in a (fairly pricy) food item! Use: on pizza

I recently discovered cuppping pepperoni and I LOVE it! I have an outdoor kitchen and recently bought an Ooni Pizza Oven so I've been making A LOT of pizza lately! Probably 12 times in the past three months (basically, once every weekend). I've made lots of varieties of pizza, but I have to say EVERYONE says their favorite is the cupping pepperoni. I've only used Hormel and I have no reason to want to try any other brand. This pepperoni tastes great, and the way it cups up and crisps around the edges makes it even better. I finish it off with some of Mike's Hot Honey before cutting and serving and it is seriously the best pizza ever. Now when I ask my friends and family what kind of pizza they want, they always say "We want the one with the cupping pepperoni!!"

When I buy something called "pepperoni," I generally expect it to taste like pepperoni. This product, however, does not taste like pepperoni. It doesn't really taste like anything, for that matter. Which is too bad, because its "cup 'n' crisp" gimmick actually works quite well. Better luck next time, Hormel.

Ever since I tried these, I haven’t gone back to regular pepperoni. My kids and I love the crispy edges.

VERY Disappointed! I always MUST eat a couple peps b4 putting them on the pizza (I cant b the only one 😁) I gotta tell ya these do NOT AT ALL TASTE THE SAME. Once baking... yeah they crisp up somewhat & dont taste QUITE AS awful as right outta the bag but um.....big NO for me. Im most often just a pep/cheese pizza kinda girl so i KNOW what pepperoni usually/should taste like ....This aint it people 😝 Plus that "cup" action holds all the grease right there for ya. I straight up threw them away after 1 use & went back to original peps. These r NOT the same flavor & have a weird taste i cant even describe. 👎👎👎

Life-changing!! Also, you can precook them to make them really crispy! It makes it look like your pizza has two different kinds of pepperoni!! Hope they don’t t discontinue!!

I buy several bags at a time because they always sell out at my location 😬

They don’t get as crispy as i was expecting or curl up quite as much as the photo on the package.

If you really know pepperoni, this is the best store bought you can get. Ive tried just about everything from Kroger brand to Margherita and Hormel Cup n Crisp is the best. I usually get Ezzo but in a crunch this is my go to.

My husband loves this kind of pepperoni cup and crisp. Not all pizza places have those pepperonis. It was nice to see that Hormel makes them and sells them so now I can make my own pizzas at home with these pepperonis.

Amazing pepperoni! The best!

If you love those crispy delicious pepperoni cups on your pizza, this is the way to go. These are my new go to pizza topping, and all my friends rave about how good it is.

I was only able to purchase it through online delivery twice . Both times, the bees KNEES.. I even crisp these by themselves and eat them as snacks. They are JUST like old world pepperoni and are worth every penny. Hormel, why cant I purchase these anymore!? I need them in my life! Please help me with this, Sincerely, CupNCrisps Biggest Fan

Outside "casing" Hormel claims is edible is Anything But. Texture is like plastic and cannot chew small enough to swallow. I actually choked on it. Absolutely Gross! I would have thought a company the size of Hormel would not produce an inferior product as this. Review would not allow Zero Stars, or I would have. Don't Buy.

Haven't tried it yet, but certainly intend to use it. For much too long, pepperoni has been to large and flimsey.

The cupping and charring and the little chalices of grease on your pizza is why you buy these. When raw these have an unpleasantly musky, strong bologna flavor. They are maybe a little thin for the size, which is smaller in diameter so you can really pile them on. Cooked on the pizza they behave as advertised and are actually pretty tasty, if slightly different from most pepperonis. The taste reminds me exactly of a time many decades ago when chain pizza was good.

When I watch a football game with my friends, I always bring pepperoni, cheese and crackers and most of the time it's HORMEL pepperoni.
