If you're like most pizza lovers, pepperoni is your favorite topping. Its lightly spicy and smoky flavor is delicious and often becomes a little crispy on the edges as it bakes. It also pairs well with other toppings.
The Michiana area has many pizza restaurants that serve great pepperoni pies, and since September 20 is National Pepperoni Pizza Day, why not head out to enjoy the popular topping? Our real estate agents recommend savoring the flavor at the following pizza places.
- Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen - 1332 Hilltop Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085
If you're looking for classic Italian dishes served in a warm, cozy atmosphere, head to Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen near St. Joseph homes for sale. Their pepperoni pizza is loaded with 30 pieces of char pepperoni, Romano cheese, and fresh mozzarella. You can also choose to build your own pizza with pepperoni and your choice of fresh ingredients, or order the Four Seasons pizza topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, artichokes, and mozzarella.
- Silver Beach Pizza - 410 Vine St., St. Joseph, MI 49085
Located in a former Amtrak depot, Silver Beach Pizza offers a unique setting where you can sometimes see passing trains go by. The emphasis is on freshness, with dough made every day from scratch and never frozen, and the restaurant also mixes its own pizza sauce. Build your own pepperoni pizza with your choice of sauces, crusts, and ingredients, or try the Garlic Greek, which puts a twist on a traditional pepperoni with the addition of minced garlic and crushed red pepper. If you'd like an adults-only seating area with its own bar, make a reservation for the restaurant's Upper Deck.
- Nardo's Pizza - 505 Pleasant St., St. Joseph, MI 49085
The crust is an all-important part of the pizza, so Nardo's Pizza serves your choice of Detroit-style with a caramelized cheese crust or a hand-tossed thin crust. From there, you can build your own pepperoni pizza with toppings of your choice or order a pepperoni pie creation off the menu. For the biggest serving of pepperoni, order the Double Dribble, made with a hand-tossed crust and red sauce along with layers of double classic pepperoni on the bottom, Nardo's cheese blend, double classic pepperoni on the top, and Parmesan.
- Polito's - 401 N. Hickory Road, South Bend, IN 46615
Polito's, located just around the corner from South Bend homes for sale, is best known for its stuffed pizzas, which may just be the biggest you've ever seen. A single slice weighs nearly two pounds, is about two inches thick, and can take up to an hour to bake. Pepperoni lovers should try the Meat Lovers Stuffed Slice with pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage, meatballs, and mozzarella and ricotta. If that sounds like too much to handle, don't worry because the restaurant also serves pies with a New York-style thin crust, a thick-crust Italian style, and a thick-crust square pan Sicilian crust.
- Rocco's - 537 N. Saint Louis Blvd., South Bend, IN 46617
Rocco's has served the South Bend area since 1951, becoming a fixture in the community and serving generations of customers. Everything is made fresh from scratch daily in the restaurant, including their pizza dough and sauce, with high-quality, artisan ingredients. Customize your own pepperoni pie and add other ingredients such as bacon, mushrooms, and fresh basil if you'd like.
