Pepperoni pizza is a classic Italian-American dish known for its bold flavors and satisfying texture. It features a hand-tossed or thin crust base topped with tangy tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and slices of spicy, cured pepperoni. Originating from Italian cuisine but gaining massive popularity in the United States, pepperoni became a staple ingredient that adds a smoky, savory kick to this beloved dish. While pizza offers a source of protein and calcium thanks to its cheese and meat, its high sodium and saturated fat content from the pepperoni can be a concern for heart health when consumed in excess. Additionally, the refined flour in the crust contributes quick-digesting carbohydrates. Balancing portion size and pairing it with nutrient-rich sides like a salad can help make this indulgence a more balanced treat.
