It sounds like it has been a while since you've had pizzeria
pizza.  Cup pepperoni is notorious for holding grease.

Even if you make pizza at home, sliced pepperoni forms "cups" and holds
the grease.  Sorry, it is what bothers my stomach.  I'd rather not have
pepperoni on pizza.

I have never understood the attraction to pepperoni on pizza.  It is
basically a pretty crappy type of sausage, heavy on fat and salt.

Mmm.  Fat and salt.  It's a cured sausage, FFS.  Stable at room
temperature.  What do you expect?

There's some crappy pepperoni out there, but there's some pretty
good stuff, too.
