Pepperoni Pizza in Italy is pizza with bell peppers. If you want pepperoni pizza in Italy, you will need to order Salami on your pizza. Some places that have a lot of American tourists may place pepperoni pizza on their menu- but of you go to areas not frequented by American tourists, and order pepperoni pizza- you will get bell pepper pizza. This happened to me in Pescara, Italy.

Pepperoni (with two 'p's in the middle) is an Italian-American sausage/salami, known mainly in countries other than Italy! Peperoni (with only one 'p' in the middle) are green/yellow/red bell peppers. There is a difference in pronunciation between the two words (the word with two 'p's has a short 'e' as in petty; the word with only one 'p' has a longer 'e' as in pay) but it is very difficult for any foreigner to hear or pronounce the difference!
