Yeah, good luck finding a pepperoni pizza in Italy
They've never heard of the stuff. Now, ham, you can get on anything. Every meal has ham. Ham for breakfast at the hotels, which is cool (I like ham), but by the time I got home I would have killed for a slice of bacon.
We had a great pizza party at a little cafe in Rome which, even though they didn't have pepperoni, turned out some damn good pizzas.
