The Deli Meat Brand Behind The Best Store-Bought Pepperoni - Tasting Table
Briefly

The article reviews seven brands of store-bought pepperoni, ultimately selecting Boar's Head as the best. The assessment focused on flavor complexity, balance, and texture, both raw and cooked. Boar's Head pepperoni stands out for its larger size, offering versatility, a well-spiced vibrant red appearance, and a rich flavor profile highlighted by spices and a meaty texture. Customer reviews further support the findings, emphasizing its balance of spiciness and flavor, making it a popular choice among consumers.
The bright red hue of these pepperonis suggested they were very well spiced, a visual cue we quickly confirmed with our taste test.
Five-star reviews from customers on Influenster and Paisano's Butcher Shop praise the taste and texture of Boar's Head pepperoni as much as we do.
The balance of flavors was described as bold but not overpowering, while the texture is chewy, tender, and soft.
Boar's Head outdid every competitor in both categories while also providing some unique characteristics of its own.
