Pepperoni rolls have been a West Virginia favorite since the 1920s. The simple idea of baking the zesty pepperoni into freshly baked rolls came to Julia Chico as an inventive way to serve fresh, easy snacks to her family. This has been a tradition in the Chico family for generations. Julia’s son, Samuel Chico Jr. decided that this little family secret should be shared. So, the home of Julia’s Pepperoni Rolls was founded.
Currently, many small bakeries in West Virginia produce pepperoni rolls. Most of these began as small businesses and continue to be operated in that way. Outside the state of West Virginia, however, you are not likely to find a bakery that produces these Pepperoni rolls.
Third-generation owner, Samuel A. Chico, III, had the vision to make Chico Bakery the largest producer of pepperoni rolls in the nation, to share this West Virginia secret with the rest of the country. Today, Chico Bakery provides Julia’s pepperoni rolls to every state in the nation.
Chico Bakery's Julia's pepperoni rolls are offered in three flavors: double-stuffed pepperoni, pepperoni and provolone cheese, and pepperoni and hot pepper cheese. All flavors can be ordered as 5.5 or 4oz rolls.
