Versatile and dependable, Lesters pepperoni helps pizzerias serve great-looking, great-tasting pizzas with consistent results, time after time.
When people think of Lesters, they naturally think of hot dogs and beef products. But did you know we’ve been producing pepperoni for over 80 years? Over time, we have developed five distinct recipes, carefully crafted and refined to meet every taste preference and budget.
From milder flavour profiles to more seasoned options, each variety is designed to deliver optimal cooking performance, a key requirement for pizzerias. Whether you use pre-sliced 2-inch or 3.5-inch pepperoni, or prefer to slice it in-house, our wide range of foodservice formats adapts seamlessly to your operational needs and your signature pizza style.
In a market where pizzerias are more competitive than ever, pepperoni alone is no longer enough to stand out. Consumers are increasingly looking for new experiences, distinctive flavours, and menu items that feel different. This demand for innovation has led to the rise of trend-driven pizzas, such as the popular Chinese fondue–inspired pizza, often made with Lesters shaved beef—a concept that sparks conversation and attracts both curious first-timers and loyal regulars.
And this is just the beginning. With our range of pulled pork, pulled smoked meat, and other ready-to-serve meat solutions, pizzerias can refresh their menus in minutes without adding operational complexity. The result: signature pizzas that are easy to execute, cost-effective, and designed to drive buzz and repeat visits.
