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.
