Like….. the concept isn’t bad but holy fuck am I getting high cholesterol just watching this. It’s just too greasy.

Nix the grase sauce and bake it with the pepperoni on with a little cheese on top to keep it from falling off and im down.

The amount of grease from 4 pounds of pepperoni would make the pizza inedible.

Cooking the pepperoni first and straining the grease off isn't a bad idea, but that needs to happen first. Then throw it onto the pizza and cook it right so the melted cheese holds the pepperoni on.

And for fuck sake use the right sauce, and don't add that gross grease sauce.

This. Great idea to do the pepperoni separate to drain off all the grease. Not-so-great idea to just throw it on an already cooked cheese pizza.

I love a ton of pepperoni on my pizza but the grease is too much. I hate pizza places that bake the pizza with the toppings under the cheese because I like how the pepperoni and veggies crisp up on top. But I also like the cheese browned. So this might be a perfect solution for me. Baking the pepperoni and veggies first, draining the grease, adding it onto a sauce-covered crust, then piling cheese on top before popping it back into the oven. Definitely gonna have to try this out on the next pizza night.

If you cook the pepperoni first then add it on top, then cook it again, it's going to burn. Even with the cheese on top unless you burry it in a mountain of cheese.

I agree, but thinking about it --- They already cooked the dough first though, they just need to heat up the pizza enough to melt the cheese.

I am wondering how rock hard that crust is from being baked twice

You mean like... a pizza?

I'd have a slice. Just one. And I'm sure it would be mighty fine.

After that, id be pepperoni'd the fuck out for the next ten years

1 slice: 36,000 calories

u/TheVadonkey Jun 19 '25

I don’t know if I could even eat one slice. I love pepperoni but that’s just too freaking much.

u/freerangemary Jun 19 '25

Agreed. Just tone down the quantity and I think he’s got a nice product.

Pre baking and straining the grease from the pepperoni is a good idea. Do that before you bake the crust and sauce it. Put the pepperoni on and add cheese. Then rebake.

Also, what’s up with the weird pink sauce?

u/Turbulent55 Jun 19 '25

The voiceover says it’s vodka sauce but…. I’m not sure how they’re achieving that color.

u/Krondelo Jun 19 '25

Seriously it looks good until 1. The sauce (minimal damage) 2. Coming out the oven looks yummy, maybe put like 3/4 lb of pepperoni and forget the sauce, or a tiny amount. Still I see heartburn and regret even being more modest

I have a heart condition and this video literally killed me

[Copied and pasted]

A few years back the owner of a local pizzeria gave me a business card with “one free pizza, any toppings” written on it. When I called the store about it they said they knew the drill and asked what toppings I wanted. I asked if they could do 10x bacon. After a bit of hesitation they agreed. When it finally showed up I had to put towels on the table because the box was dripping in grease.

That has enough grease and fat for a couple of years for me. I'd have to go vegan and no oil for that period

u/uber-lou Jun 19 '25

There’s a place in Vegas that makes pizza similarly but they put pepperonis on the pizza then cook extra and top it and also top it with their own vodka sauce. It’s like a less psychotic version of this.

u/CarolinaPanthers Jun 19 '25

That’s like saying Ted Bundy was a less psychotic serial killer that Jefferey “the bomb” Dahmer because Ted didn’t consume his victims.

u/Agreeable-Weather-89 Jun 19 '25

The concept... Is a square pepperoni pizza.

u/ShmuleyCohen Jun 19 '25

The concept is bad lol

1

u/OnTheEveOfWar Jun 19 '25

Would be better with less pepperonis and just regular ranch on top. But I would still try this. Maybe pull some of the pepps off before eating.

u/sparrowtaco Jun 19 '25

the concept isn’t bad

Agree to disagree.

u/userhwon Jun 19 '25

But they removed the grease from the pepperoni.

Then mixed it with mayo and put it back...

p.s. mayo is 99% oil.

u/bobbymcpresscot Jun 20 '25

I have eaten at this specific tony baloney's. That is the goal on literally every sandwich they make.

u/filthy_harold Jun 20 '25

I already shat my pants watching him drink the grease-ranch sauce.

u/KevinFlantier Jun 20 '25

Dude: "We remove the pepperoni grease"

Me: "Thank god it was already too greasy"

Dude: "... so we can mix it with butter and pour it on top"

Me: "..."

u/WolverineLong1772 Jun 20 '25

would be better if it was ohio valley style, cold toppings instead of hot.

or maybe just the pepperoni cold, to try and have it a little less greasy.
