A West Virginia tradition direct to your door! Our pepperoni rolls are made fresh to order and may be frozen for up to 3 months or refrigerated for 1 week but are best enjoyed immediately upon arrival. We keep it simple and traditional, just like our mom did. Sliced pepperoni tucked inside a soft yeast bread roll. No sauce. No cheese. Just the way a WV coal miner would have enjoyed them.
To reduce mail delays and prevent less than fresh deliveries, we ship all orders on MONDAYS and TUESDAYS. If you order after noon on Tuesday, your order will not go out until the following Monday.
You may also now choose LOCAL PICKUP as an option any day of the week.
Not familiar with the story of the pepperoni roll? Here’s the rundown: “The origin of the pepperoni roll goes back to 1927 when Giuseppe “Joseph” Argiro made them and sold them at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, West Virginia. Argiro originally invented the pepperoni roll as a lunch for the local coal miners. They made an excellent meal for coal miners because they had protein and fat for energy and staving off hunger, and they did not require refrigeration, which made them easy to tuck into a pack or pail and take to the mines on their own with no other preparation needed for them. Argiro sold the pepperoni roll to his hungry miner customers from the time he invented them, until around 1950, when they began to gain a more generalized popularity.” -ancetralfindings.com
