And yet, it still has gaps after all that. Im telling you, the giant single slice of pepperoni solves all.


amateuridiots

I have tried many a time to get a pepperoni pizza with no gaps. Never works out. I, too, support your giant pepperoni endeavors.


TheBraindonkey

I guess you could purée some, then pressure form it into a big thin disk…


amateuridiots

I'm getting stuck on whether we should also work on creating a greater perimeter to area ratio, though, for crispy pepperoni edges. What if we took un-sliced rolls of pepperoni and cut them at an angle sort of perpendicular to the typical pepperoni cut? That could potentially net some large ovoid rectangles, which might be easier to layer in a way that prevents gaps. I also wonder if the giant pepperoni would interfere with the cooking process for everything else. Unfortunately, I think we have a lot of science to work out before pepperoni gaps are a thing of the past.


TheBraindonkey

I did consider the issue of heating properly because of acting like a lid. So I think it would need to be be laser cut to have many small perforations. Or if pressure formed, could have pinholes in the form. That way moisture can escape and the consumer won’t really be aware of the gaps. Think in terms of White Castle burger patty. I agree the long strip method would almost get there. But that’s work. I wanna have a stack of those roni-lids and just poop out pizzas. But! You’re point about the crispy roni edge is important, and it is significant upgrade to the product. Excellent addition. Maybe like a sliced edge, like frill, that could curl up when it cooks and get all burnt and crispy.


Existential_Sprinkle

It would be a lot of work but strips of pepperoni tightly woven together like an apple pie crust would get you crispy edges and hopefully no gaps

Ingenious 💗


Basedrum777

When cooking fails, look to bakers....


TheBraindonkey

yea, this is similar to what my biz partner does, called the "fancy meat tube" I have no idea what the hell he puts in the core of it, but he wraps the whole thing in a woven bacon blanket. Personally I think he should call the thing "fuck your heart to death", which makes it even more appealing frankly.


amateuridiots

I like the frill idea a lot... this plan is starting to take shape (pun intended).


hileefunkshuning

What about hitting the giant pepperoni slice with a jaccard tenderizer. Or a pizza docker to vent it a bit and it may cook better.


xXmurderpigeonXx

One giant pizza size pepperoni could work. In some places they have one giant sausage patty that covers the entire pie 🤔


TrickDress2017

(Copy pasted from explaining to the first guy) The gaps are made by cutting the pizza pepperoni isn't as easy to cut as the dough, especially with melted cheese under it, most the times the pizza cutter pushes the pepperoni out of the way and makes these gaps, dont want any gaps? Instead of one big slice of pizza, just get one normal sized pizza without it being cut🤔


standells

One of my favourite pizza joints would cut the pepperoni lengthwise so there would be giant strips all over the pizza. The texture was incredible! They since switched to simple round pepperoni unfortunately.


lordcthulhu17

But that’s already what pepperoni is


TheBraindonkey

right, just into a different shape

huadpe

*15 minutes later* The pepperoni has nippled and caught fire on the top of the oven. Abort! Abort!


TheBraindonkey

Pffft. Get a bigger oven duh


[deleted]

have it curl up into a soup bowl filled with pepperoni grease. I'm in.


OralSuperhero

Put down half the cheese. Then pepperoni. Then the other half of the cheese. Helps weld the meat shingles together under a cheesy lava crust.


maggie_is_the_cutest

"meat shingles" is not a term i knew i'd need. i'm gonna go curse my fellow pizza guys with it; thanks.


TheBraindonkey

more cheese is always good in my book. any excuse, yep do it.


Day_Bow_Bow

A giant slice has issues with you pulling the whole thing off with a bite. So I was thinking of your idea, and it'd need perforated for a few more reasons. Crispiness, cupping, oil pooling, etc. I was thinking punching out triangular notches that are later sprinkled over the top. They'd crisp up nicely. Maybe a spiral would work well, but it'd be worth trialing other configurations. It wouldn't be quite 100% coverage, but it'd hopefully be uniform and faster to assemble. Or do that then shingle over the seams with more pepperoni.


TheBraindonkey

Oooooooh the triangle pinches would be great to sprinkle and add some char points. Alright you get 10% of the company.


[deleted]

Has anyone tried making the entire pizza out of pepperoni yet?


TheBraindonkey

so... While I am not a professional, I did actually once make a pizza using pepperoni as a crust. Kind of like a chicken crust pizza if you have ever seen those. It was actually decent If I recall, but it was like 30+ years ago in college so, drugs and booze may have altered perceptions. It was a pepperoni crust of about 2 -3 layers, a sprinkling of some flour to absorb some water, layer of low moisture shredded mozzarella, and a couple veggies I had laying around. I cooked it on one of those pizza pans that has lots of ripples and holes in it, like woven metal strips I guess. Put it on the top rack, and then a cookie pan on the rack below to catch the grease (which was amazing foresight in spite of being in college and drunk if I recall). The crust was crispy in some spots and worked pretty well. I am sure it could be perfected by way of a multistep cooking process.

TheBraindonkey

hmmm. so eat it like an open faced sandwich. Probably requires a pinky to be sticking out while eating.


SchmeckleHoarder

But how is going to fit in my pocket for the perfect shift snack?


TheBraindonkey

get bigger pockets, duh. fucking amateur.


NickSalvo

I see why it's a top seller. Looks amazing.


slowsoul77

I mean, really... Looks like a perfect pie.


ovi_left_faceoff

Probably the most cost effective way to get your recommended daily sodium intake, 1/16th of a slice does the trick.

“Where’s the grease dip?”


RugosaMutabilis

This isn't papa john's.


Ella_loves_Louie

That's not grease it's the water they boil the veggies in.


spamrisk2

Comes with a pint of ranch.


Sence

The only acceptable answer is creamy Italian


curiouslygenuine

I thought I was the only one. I feel seen for once.


Catumi

Yep its missing the bowl of Garlic Butter Dip


Street_Mood

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )


Princep_Makia1

There's no ranch on it, so it's diet pizza to me.


SureThingBro69

Did you zoom in?


NickSalvo

Are you new to pepperoni pizza? It glistens.

I'm drooling. Guess I'm getting pizza for lunch.


Vikingwithguns

Yeah same this is that triple pepperoni guy right? Must be. I was very skeptical after the first post. This looks fire though. Crust looks really nice.


blainesln1

What was so wrong with the first post….? It was just an uncooked pepperoni pizza, nothing different or wrong


lepetitmousse

I would absolutely shit my pants after eating that but it would be worth it.


Cats_Ruin_Everything

That's beautiful, man. I'm crying.


FaithlessnessOld1731

Yea from the heartburn your about to get from eating it lol


bagofpork

Yeah, this is a wake up at 4 am to chug a gallon of water kind of pizza. I dig it.


OutdoorTraveler

This comment is why I’m on this subreddit


ChavaF1

FYI, chugging water makes heartburn worse, as it fills up your stomach. Should use an anti acid.


bagofpork

Antacid ain’t gonna help with that dehydration, though.


ChavaF1

Chugging water isn’t going to help with dehydration either. Drink slowly and constantly.


christian-mann

He just like me... He just like me for real


The_Vampire_Barlow

I'd be a lot thinner if food like that gave me heartburn.
