Pepperoni Shortage Strikes Small Pizza Places Across the US: Report
Fox News ^ | 8/16 | Michael Hollan

Posted on 08/19/2020 12:48:42 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Various shortages have struck during the coronavirus pandemic, ranging from toilet paper (which was caused by panic buying during the early days), coins, and even aluminum cans. Now, pepperoni has apparently fallen victim to the pandemic.

Pizza shops across the United States say they’re paying higher prices for the popular topping and have noticed that the supply has become tighter, Bloomberg reports. Restaurants from New York to South Dakota have reportedly seen a significant increase in price, with the cost nearly doubling in some areas.

According to the news outlet, other meat products saw temporary price increases during the pandemic. While ground beef became more expensive earlier in the year, the price has reportedly started to drop. Pepperoni, on the other hand, continues to be expensive.

They are not looking in the right places. Just yesterday I saw a huge pallet of John Morrel Pepperoni at Costco.

“ One exception is Jimmy Dean roll sausage (top-rated brand) which I was getting on sale for $3/lb, but now goes on sale for $3.5/lb.” ********** Yup, my breakfast go to sausage is Jimmy Dean hot sausage. I also use it when I make biscuits and gravy. Jimmy’s claim to fame; sausage 😜!!

I make my own pizza and use ham, onions, mushrooms, sometimes pineapple

Pineapple was never intended to be used on pizza.......

If you are using pineapple then it is not a pizza. It’s a cheesy, meaty, fruit pie........

Have you ever tried Jimmy Dean’s frozen breakfast sandwiches? I tried Aunt Jemima’s a few years ago and they were truly awful.

Am a big fan of Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches.
Sausage, egg and cheese are good. Also the “croissant” version.

I am growing my own meat

I ordered chickens online- I started with 12, and after incubating some eggs I had over 30 at one point, processed them and had a freezerful for a year

I grew 40 more, but the hawks got 30 of them. So it’s been a bad summer- I can easily see how one bad day of not watching them closely enough could result in starvation from the predators eating most of the crop

The predators have been crazy this year! I never had this much of a problem

Back in the 60s... Somewhere around Bothel Washington was a Shakey’s pizza parlor that had Canadian bacon and shrimp pizza.

My sister loved Canadian bacon, my mom loved shrimp, my dad ate spaghetti cuz he was allergic to shellfish. I was 10 and didn’t have a vote. But the pizza was pretty good.
