Working at a pizza place, and I don't know why, but this snack goes HARD

[-]

AwkwardInmate@reddit

Fat, salty, maybe summer sweetness. Hits the brain and tells you to eat more. Good food engineering, that's it.

[-]

I do livestreams on Twitch and at some point I was eating spicy stuff whenever people supported the channel somehow, as a funny incentive for people to keep supporting I guess heh one time I had the idea to try this out and I can confirm: it goes hard frfr. This is actually glorious

[-]

kpdan09@reddit

Bro jalapenos and pepperoni are my fav two toppings too

[-]

--Luna--Fae--@reddit

I microwave pepperoni for 1 minute in 1 layer on a paper towel. I put jalapenos and banana peppers on some. Delicious, quick little snack.

[-]

AshamedRazzmatazz805@reddit

Drop a dime size drop of heated plain cream cheese between the pepperoni and jalapeño and prepare for blast off 🚀

I worked at a pizza place and this snack I still make 15 years later. We called them scooby snacks back then. We used Genoa salami but pepperonis will do too

[-]

Spite96@reddit

Hear me out, wheat thin, cream cheese, pepperoni, and a jalapeño slice. It's so good!

[-]

OddFiction94@reddit

Put the pepperoni through the oven first to make them crispy 🤤👌🏿

[-]

pastoolioliz@reddit

I would do a wannabee lunchable. Pepperoni, sauce and some cold cheese.

[-]

ln_gnome@reddit

Try it with a bit of cream cheese. I like salami and peppercinis with it

[-]

mongmight@reddit

That ring ain't ever coming off my tubby friend lol.

[-]

Lucky-Willow-9058@reddit

You’re gonna have the hottest burps in town and it’s worth it.

[-]

isthisyournacho@reddit

Do this snack right bed or bed if you want to wake up to acid volcano

[-]

tehweave@reddit (OP)

Probably on both counts.

[-]

Ask_bout_PaterNoster@reddit

Why taste your food once when you can taste it all evening?

[-]

Ezl@reddit

Oh yeah. I do that on triscuits - pepperoni and jalepeno. Often with cheddar. Even though it’s just “cheese and crackers” I can effortlessly make a meal out of it.

[-]

lilpoopsik@reddit

add some honey!

[-]

Codemonky@reddit

My goto snack from Jack in the Box in the late 80s:

One triangle half-slice of cheese that they use on the tacos + a pickle from the burger station, and 3-4 fries making a taco with the cheese of the shell.

I still crave them today.

[-]

ImmaculateWeiss@reddit

Also my favorite topping combo in general

[-]

WatercressOld6845@reddit

Thought it was a jalapeño

[-]

tehweave@reddit (OP)

I like banana peppers, but I need something spicy.

[-]

sluttycokezero@reddit

Add a pineapple piece on top. Pepperoni, jalapeño, and pineapple is so good. Salty, spicy, and sweet

[-]

SickestNinjaInjury@reddit

Add blue cheese if you're feeling crazy.

[-]

LonelyNixon@reddit

Banana peppers come in spicy varieties

[-]

HauntedCS@reddit

I'd even argue they are spicier than jalapenos when it is the spicy variety.

[-]

ThePaddysPubSheriff@reddit

I think they're breeding the spiciness out of jalapeños like they did with the bitterness in Brussel sprouts, gotta appeal to a wider audience

[-]

MomsSpagetee@reddit

It really depends...they can be all over the place in my experience. Some aren't much heat at all and others have brought tears to my eyes.

[-]

HauntedCS@reddit

That does make sense. Some people hate the spice of a Jalapeno, but it has such a distinct flavor that is really hard to recreate.

[-]

ThePaddysPubSheriff@reddit

Yeah they're great for flavor, there's a million ways to make food spicy, but only one way to make it jalepeno flavored

[-]

BillyWeir@reddit

I think a spicy jalapeno beats a spicy banana pepper but i don't disagree completely. Both peppers have stupid variability, I lean towards the jalapeños because not spicy banana can have overpowering flavor to me, while not spicy jalapeno taste like candy.

[-]

Chris19862@reddit

Bruh I got some spicy ones by accident the other day and shat fire for 2 hrs

[-]

ItsPhayded420@reddit

Pep+Jal+Parmesan before the bake, has always been one of my go to's. So good.

[-]

vikingsarecoolio@reddit

Sneak some pineapple in with that combo next time. One of my favorites.

[-]

Tankeverket@reddit

and you choose jalapenos?

[-]

big_duo3674@reddit

I served my 5 years at a pizza place a long time ago, jalapeño-peperoni-anchovy is now my hands down favorite drunk pizza

[-]

ThreeCansOfSpam@reddit

Add some cream cheese!

[-]

MF_Doomed@reddit

And some bread!

[-]

ThreeCansOfSpam@reddit

A cracker. Tiny raw pizza.

[-]

HighbrowUsername@reddit

And my axe!

[-]

Zoloista@reddit

Not all will agree, but pineapple-- that sweet/heat/pork combo is bangin’

[-]

yaredw@reddit

Pineapple + jalapeno + bacon, let's go

[-]

NoiseIsTheCure@reddit

YES this is my go-to Domino's order. On pan crust for that thicc goodness

[-]

sjbennett85@reddit

olives (either one is good, don’t really need both)

[-]

sixthmontheleventh@reddit

I am okay with pineapple if it is dried up and caramelized a little but I prefer thinly apple and ham. For me it carmelizes better and adds a bit more tartness.

[-]

milleribsen@reddit

I enjoy Hawaiian pizza plus jalapeno.

[-]

Top-Internal-9308@reddit

Pineapple and sausage or pineapple and pepperoni is my absolute shit.

[-]

HitCreek@reddit

Pineapple, bacon strips, banana peppers

[-]

PeachSnobbler@reddit

Pepperoni, jalapeños, and breakfast bacon is top tier combo

[-]

EverythingBOffensive@reddit

I always liked that papa johns gives u those when you order a pizza. idk if they still do but that was fire

[-]

GlitchyMarlin@reddit

It’s called a “hot American” in some parts of the world

[-]

Late_Stage-Redditism@reddit

pickled banana pepper or jallies on cheddar is the combo of the gods

[-]

Lord_Phoenix95@reddit

Add a lil bit of sauce and cheese and it's your new favourite snack.

[-]

MABfan11@reddit

New snack item added to the menu

[-]

LusterDiamond@reddit

At Domino's I do boneless chicken piece with pineapple and jalapenos. So damned good.

[-]

Bloe_Joggs@reddit

I worked at a pizza place a couple years ago. They asked me if I wanted anything at the end of the shift and I said to make me what ever. They asked if I liked pepperoni and jalapeños and they brought me back a large pizza drowned in jalapeños. You couldn’t even see the base it was that covered. Had to call in sick the next day

[-]

SignificantPeach69@reddit

i add like a drop of garlic parm sauce with a sprinkle of parm 😂

[-]

tonebone85@reddit

Can confirm. Pizza maker back in 2004.

[-]

DesignerTex@reddit

Even better when.....IT'S ON A PIZZA!!!

[-]

beets_or_turnips@reddit

yeah but you don't have time to make and eat a whole pizza for yourself when you're busy making pizzas

[-]

tehweave@reddit (OP)

Truth

[-]

Apexx86@reddit

This post activated my acid reflux

[-]

ushiroper@reddit

Your fingers say no

[-]

ModestMussorgsky@reddit

Put a piece of pineapple on there and we're really cookin

[-]

darkdraagoon@reddit

That pineapple need to be grill

[-]

argentumsound@reddit

DUDE. You're stealing my snacks!

Another great snack is just licking the knife or a fork or whatever implement you used to fish the jalapenos out of the jar.
The spicy pickle water GOES HARD!

[-]

DryReport3001@reddit

Not a bad combo

[-]

Visual_Mycologist_1@reddit

There's a pizza chain near us that had extra spicy pepperoni as like a limited time special. It was so popular they made it a regular topping.

[-]

the_odinsonfury@reddit

Add a small drizzle of honey my friend

[-]

6e6963655f776f726b@reddit

10% of your daily sodium, all flavor.

[-]

uncertainusurper@reddit

Typical worker snacks.

[-]

007meow@reddit

Add in a little sauce and heat and you’ve got yourself a pizza

[-]

ButtholeQuiver@reddit

Smash it up, mix it with Mountain Dew in a pot, you have a stew going

[-]

[-]

JordynHarley@reddit

I can totally dig it.

[-]

mikonamiko@reddit

I used to do this but I'd pinch cheese between them.

[-]

jimmytickles@reddit

Fat salt and vinegar. Fire

[-]

ayeyeye@reddit

Hold my Tums

[-]

MayaTamika@reddit

You gotta put one of the pepperonis on top and make a jalapeño sandwich

[-]

Cigi_94@reddit

Why are your fingers blue? Is that normal for you ?

[-]

izzxpopz@reddit

Just missing a little cream cheese

[-]

kerelberel@reddit

Now you know why we like meze

[-]

oatmeal_steve@reddit

i used to eat those all the time back in the day, also goes hard with some cold shredded mozz

[-]

mint-star@reddit

Oh God yes

[-]

WiseSpunion@reddit

Because, vinegar and meat+fat

[-]

therealjoe12@reddit

Salty, vinegar, fatty, savory is the best and if you put a little cheese in there it's even better!

[-]

cornbeeflt@reddit

I liked green peppers and blue cheese in my day. Not sure I could rock that nowadays

[-]

King33Two@reddit

I like pepperoni, mozzarella, and pickles all at once. And yes, the pizza place I worked at 2 years ago had pickles because it was part of our house salad.

[-]

mog_knight@reddit

You discovered umami. Grats!

[-]

SpaceMan420gmt@reddit

Used to work at Olive Garden. I would make/sneak peperoncini breadstick mini subs, dipped in the OG Italian dressing 😅

[-]

an_edgy_lemon@reddit

Pepperoni + Jalapeños is a top tier topping combo. With a little ranch, it’s in a tier of it’s own.

[-]

jmanly3@reddit

I always get jalapeños on my pepperoni pizzas, it’s a great combo 🤌🏼

[-]

roughdraft29@reddit

WHERE'S THE CHEESE??

[-]

RecordStoreHippie@reddit

Dip it in Caesar dressing, or creamy garlic. I used to stuff a pepperoncini with bacon bits and dip it in Caesar dressing. So much flavor it makes your eye twitch a little bit it's so good.

[-]

Mindful_Teacup@reddit

Worked at Subway as a teenager,, used to take a scoop out of the tunafish and some of the bacon strips and eat it like chips and salsa. So good

[-]

Padgetts-Profile@reddit

I don’t like pepperoni that much, but I used to do the exact same thing every time I would walk by our pizza station at a bar I used to work at.

[-]

docterwannabe1@reddit

Little Caesar's?

[-]

budgeavy@reddit

Funny, I worked at a shitty spaghetti chain and my favorite snack was broccoli and their 1000 island dressing. I enjoy seeing the strange things we eat when we are under the same walls for too many hours/days with the same food.

[-]

WichitaTheOG@reddit

Got ya fat, salt, heat… perfection

[-]

Ok_Contribution3031@reddit

Hell yeah. I personally like the banana peppers and salami combo

[-]

EverythingBOffensive@reddit

I love both, recently ate a jar of jalapenos like they were pickles. My ass didn't like it though.

[-]

Own-Okra-9190@reddit

heart burn snakx

[-]

ryanpm40@reddit

Orengey brown pepperoni?

[-]

97v300@reddit

Looking at those floors, thats gotta be Dominos 😂😂

[-]

StrengthBetter@reddit

This, a bit o cheese, something for a crunch (lettuce), slight sauce, inside a tostito? goodness

[-]

CurlySquareBrace@reddit

A mozzarella ball and a cracker of some kind, Ritz or club perhaps, a good combo this would be

[-]

AHumpierRogue@reddit

Chef discovers flavor combos, world awed.

[-]

barontaint@reddit

actually all four, there's sugar in jalapeno pickle brine, so he factored in sweet also

[-]

amateur_mistake@reddit

Plus the sugar that is in the peppers themselves...

[-]

Frightful_Fork_Hand@reddit

If you think everyone working at a pizza place is a chef you’re going to be sorely disappointed by the pizza.

[-]

DjackMeek@reddit

They definitely weren’t being serious.

[-]

tehweave@reddit (OP)

shrug

[-]

CD274@reddit

Don't worry you got called a chef!

[-]

MalnoureshedRodent@reddit

Don’t forget heat!

[-]

JanaCinnamon@reddit

You gotta try this with sucuk. It slaps.

[-]

lordaskington@reddit

I recently paired little fried chicken bits with pickle slices and dipped it in a little mayo-- GODLY, especially when you were as high as I was

[-]

CheGueyMaje@reddit

Salt fat and acid, that’s why

[-]

NightmareTycoon@reddit

Pepperoni, jalapeño, pineapple pizza is my go to

[-]

Foxy_locksy1704@reddit

My old roommate’s favorite topping were Jalapeños, pepperoni and pineapple. First time he ordered it I looked at him like he was crazy. I don’t know why but that combo totally works it’s got a good mix of sweet and heat.

[-]

alextastic@reddit

There's nothing uncommon or strange enough about this to be considered shitty, people eat these things together all the time.

[-]

mai_tai87@reddit

People eat pickled jalapeño and pepperoni like an hors d'oeuvre all the time? No they don't.

[-]

gottwolegs@reddit

So conflicted. Drooling but also my stomach hurts just looking at it.

[-]

QuadraKev_@reddit

try putting it on a pizza

[-]

Classic-Exchange-511@reddit

Throw shredded cheese on and grill them into potato chip like snacks, they're bangin

[-]

InSearchOfTyrael@reddit

I'm sorry, but... duh...

[-]

aBeaSTWiTHiNMe@reddit

Working in a bar and grille type place, my go to kitchen power snack is a tomato slice, some Chipotle aioli, a bit of pepper and some bacon. Sometimes I'll sub the tomato for a pickle slice, or the chippy for some other sauce.

I call them bacon buddies.

[-]

Holoafer@reddit

Jalapeño and pepperoni is so good.

[-]

BRAX7ON@reddit

Needs a shot of marinara and a little bit of mozz on top. This is the way.

[-]

Adventurous-Action91@reddit

Pepperoni and banana pepper Bacon and jalapeno

[-]

Weird_Yam6398@reddit

What's nice about this snack is that it's free. You just have to pick the toppings off the pizzas before they go in the oven.

[-]

Bumpercars415@reddit

One of my favorite pizzas is called a Dirty Hawaiian. Ham, Pineapple and Jalapeños. Especially on deep dish Chicago pizza where the toppings are flipped.

[-]

cannonslax9@reddit

Add a blue cheese crumble or two and you’ve got my go to back when I was slingin dough.

[-]

snackynorph@reddit

Yeah dude this combo slaps. A little mozz and perhaps some balsamic glaze and you can just flavor bomb yourself

[-]

opalsilk@reddit

Squeeze a little bbq sauce in the jalapeño holes, gg

[-]

seXJ69@reddit

Add a little cheese with it.

I put them on a tray and cook it for like 30 seconds to melt the cheese. It's yummly
