Never said I didn't like chorizo - I do - but it isn't Italian, and the "pepperoni" prevalent in the US isn't really Italian or of very good quality. And, not a sausage racist (bigot would be a better word choice for your hyperbolic accusation, honestly ) I just happen to be very experienced in the world of charcuterie - I like most of it, but also know what goes better with what based on years of experience, and what is quality versus crap, and chain pizza restaurant pepperoni is crap.

Pepperoni isn't Italian at all to begin with. Pepperoni is American to begin with so apparently not too versed in the world of charcuterie to know that pepperoni was created by Italian immigrants in the US and was based on Italian soppressata which is also why "authentic" pepperoni is a mixture of beef and pork because of the prevalence of the beef industry in the US whereas authentic soppressata is simply pork. Chain restaurant anything isn't going to be high quality so pointing out that chain restaurant pepperoni is garbage isn't high quality would be like pointing out that Taco Bell serves meat rated just higher than what they serve in dog food or "cutter" grade beef which is below the meat sold in chain supermarkets which would be standard or commercial grade. Premium > Choice > Select > Standard > Commercial > Utility > Cutter (Taco Bell) > Canner (lowest approved grade for dog food)

Something like Battistoni would be authentic pepperoni. They're not only based in New York they (though headquartered in Buffalo instead of Manhatten) and they were founded by Italian immigrants. Their pepperoni also beef and pork which is more accurate than the pure pork "premium" pepperoni that is often sold as "authentic" Italian. Italians claim everything as theirs even though tomatoes didn't arrive in Italy until the mid 1500s and were originally thought to be poison, but in-fact it was the plates they used and the acid in the tomatoes interacting that made people sick. Speghetti and meatballs also isn't Italian by and by despite being sold in pretty much any "Italian" restaurant as such.

I use Andouille for jambalaya and gumbo - never tried it on pizza. A quality hard chorizo (or fresh, for that matter) would taste fine on pizza, but I usually just eat the cured stuff as-is, and like the fresh with eggs/breakfast tacos.

The spicy Andouille is the best. The soft chorizo, cooked up like ground sausage is good, too. That's what I used to use in cast iron pan deep dish pizzas (with pepperoni).

More than two decades at the exec level in the hospitality industry, so I know what kind of stuff gets bought. For higher end restaurants, the ingredients are also top shelf; for many chain places, yeah, lower quality provides higher profits, but I know from experience that most of the meats are of equal or higher quality than you get at the typical supermarket, and definitely better than "big box" like Sam's and Costco - though some mom & pops will get their stuff from those places as well. Was good friends with the VP of supply chain at my last corporate gig - had to know everything they did to do my job right - and saw the vetting process for new items. It was a combination of taste, availability, consistency, and cost-to-quality. If you could spend just slightly more for a big jump in quality, we did it, but often the premium for the theoretically higher quality item (frequently, it was just a brand name versus generic made in the same plant) didn't really give you much bang for the extra bucks.

Suppliers like Sysco get their product at the same places that most supermarkets do. But, they get a better price for bulk orders. A different place I worked at would get all our sliced beef from a local butcher, because the quality jumped about 5X, we paid double for meat and about 1.5X for cheese and veggies. But, all our bread, sauces and secondary ingredients came from Sysco. But, our ground beef came from Sysco, the cost was really close, but Sysco was leaner and could be ordered in larger packages (10 lb vs 1 lb).
I know its rare for a small price increase make a big difference. But, convenience sometimes is a factor.

That 5 gallon bucket of sauce, while not what I'd use, is also of a higher quality than most of the stuff you see at the grocery store - even the "premium" sauces are only premium because they got some celebrity to endorse them.

It was a big store brand. I thought it was weird how we made our own dough, chopped fresh peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms, but bought an industrial sized bucket of sauce.

And, yes, there is something a little bit nostalgic and fun about that cheap-ass pepperoni. It was crunchy and greasy and, if you'd been drinking, sort of hit the spot.

I think it has something to do with the casing and density of the sausage. The last good pepperoni I got was Boars Head and it curled in a pizza oven.
The crispy edges withe the soft cup area is delicious.
