Pepperoni Pizza Recipe
We're talking about a lot of pepperoni here! 3" pepperonis shingled on our 19" crust. This pizza needs nothing more. *(if you choose to add additional toppings to this perfect masterpiece, they may be put underneath the pepperoni in order for them to not fall off. If you'd like a little less pepperoni and more toppings, use the "build your own" option)
