Is a good salami a solid contender for pepperoni?

Behind the case available by asking were natural casing pepperoni sticks about 1 inch diameter weighing about half pound each. A small sample indicated this was a nice peppery pepperoni.

Hi,
I had some hesitation when I asked for 1/8 inch thickness. He brought a colleague from the back area to hand slice it.
They were nice enough about it, though I guess I was lucky this time.
I don't mind hand slicing, so next time I will do it myself.

Mariano's has discontinued offering the stick pepperoni at the deli case. The manager has had a few customers asking for the same. He advised contacting Mariano's directly, because they would likely not listen to him.
At Garden Fresh in Mundelein, they had the Boar's Head stick pepperoni at $3.49 for just over six ounces.

That store is not very convenient for me.
From past experience, I was at Garden Fresh because they offer a broad range of phyllo dough. While there I checked on pepperoni. Kenji happens to favor Boars Head. There is a lot of inferior pepperoni out there.
