Pepperoni is a variety of salami. It is an Italian version made with pork and beef and is a bit spicier than most salami. In fact, if you are in Italy you would order 'hot salami' if you wanted pepperoni, the Italian name being salame piccante or salamino piccante.
Pepperoni became a popular pizza topping in the United States in the early to mid-20th century, particularly after World War II. While its origins can be traced back to Italian salami, it was American immigrants who adapted the recipe and made it a staple on pizzas. By the 1950s, pepperoni had solidified its status as the most popular pizza topping in the U.S.
