Pizza Shops Dealing With A Pepperoni Shortage

With the initial lockdown and many still choosing to stay home as much as possible, our go-to topping may be hard to come by.

According to Bloomberg, the shortage is due to production problems at some meat plants and a larger demand over the past five months.

The larger pizza chains seem to be ok, for now, it’s the smaller mom and pop shops that are getting pinched.  Some reporting that the price for pepperoni has gone up 150% for them.  That’s a lot of dough! 

If you have noticed that the price has gone up for your favourite pie- this may be why!
