Wrong. This is a definition of a [pizza] + [the extra peperoni from the other slices that got stuck to that slice because the cutting was imperfect]

Plus the table.

Listen if they put a pepperoni in the center of the pie then a poor cut is clearly the least of our concerns

Always put a pepperoni in the exact middle. It's like a wishbone, but for pizza. The person who gets the majority of the center pepperoni gets a wish.

A center pepperoni is asking for the center of your pie to be fucked up

Peperoni are bell peppers. I have no idea why the USA chose to use this word to mean salami, instead of, you know, salami.

You're thinking of peperoncino, a spiced chilli pepper also known as sweet Italian peppers. We still have salami in the US.

I'd guess pepperoni is called that because it's dried salami with pepper seasoning.

I found a link just randomly googling. https://www.thoughtco.com/you-say-pepperoni-3972377

Yes, peperoncini are a bit like chili. Peperoni is literally "bell peppers" though. Peperone in singular.

Pepperoni and salami are totally different dude, you might as well be saying that Americans should just call their potatoes "yams". And you can get both of those sausages and many, many more on your pizza, often at the same time
