Pepperoni pizza
If you go to America, you absolutely must try pepperoni pizza. Pepperoni pizza is called like this in the United States and Canada because pepperoni is a type of spicy sausage made from pork and chilli. In Italian, 'pepperoni' refers to sweet peppers, so pizza with peperoni in Italy is different from pizza with pepperoni in the US and Canada.
