Soft Italian bread baked around whole-stick or sliced pepperoni and provolone, eaten warm from the bakery counter. A Strip District grab-and-go staple of Appalachian-Italian origin.
The pepperoni roll spread from the West Virginia coalfields into western Pennsylvania's Italian bakeries, where pepperoni and cheese are baked inside a soft bread roll. In Pittsburgh's Strip District, Jimmy & Nino Sunseri became famous for an oversized two-pound version stuffed with house pepperoni, mozzarella and provolone. The rolls are sold warm from bakery counters as a portable lunch with deep Appalachian-Italian roots.
