Do they have plain pepperoni?

Actually this looks like it might be good, although I'm not suite sure what all is included in this culinary wonder.

Yes. they have pepperoni.. but why would you want that, where there are soo many other amazing options?

My favorite is the Quatro - four kinds of cheese and garlic.

But the kind in the pic is Puttanesca, and it's yummy too.

Puttanesca sauce, most often employed for pasta, originated in Naples. It is made from tomatoes, black olives, capers, anchovies, onions, garlic, and herbs, usually oregano and parsley but sometimes also basil. It is an easy sauce, briefly cooked, and is very fragrant and spicy. Puttanesca translates as “in the style of the whore.” The name derives from the Italian word puttana which means whore. Puttana in turn arises from the Latin word putida which means stinking.
