"A family-owned, Columbus, Ohio–based producer that has made cupping pepperoni since 1978 and sold it around New York state since the early ’80s, Ezzo cracked the New York City market in 2016 after distributor Ace Endico began carrying its pre-sliced product; Darren Ezzo says that roni cups once made up 30 to 40 percent of the company’s pepperoni production and have since risen to near parity with flat pepperoni." - Eliza Brooke
