To prepare, remove the pizza from its packaging. Place it directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, depending on your preference for crust crispiness. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions. The cupping pepperoni will form during the baking process, so ensure it has enough space to expand and crisp up. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
The key difference lies in the pepperoni, which is specifically cut and prepared to curl into cup shapes during baking. This creates a unique texture and concentrates the savory, spicy flavors. The crust also aims for a Roman-inspired style, which may differ in thickness and chew from other pizza types.
