A single pepperoni slice, cut on the diagonal with a browned crust edge, built small and simple enough to read clearly even at under 2 inches finished. At just 28 x 24 stitches, this is one of the fastest patterns in the whole collection.
About This Pattern
Novelty food patterns like this one skip the cottage-core florals entirely and go straight for personality — this is the pattern for a college kid’s dorm, a break room bulletin board, or anyone whose actual favorite food is pizza rather than whatever’s traditionally “nice” to stitch. It groups naturally with our hot dog and cheeseburger patterns if you want a full fast-food trio for a kitchen or man-cave gallery wall, and its tiny size makes it an easy add-on project alongside something bigger.

Six colors and 350 total stitches make this about as quick as a recognizable food motif gets. DMC 3855 (Autumn Gold - Light) and 939 (Navy Blue - Very Dark, outline) cover 175 stitches between them — exactly half the design — with the remaining four colors filling in crust shading and cheese tone in smaller, easy-to-track blocks.

Tips for Stitching This Pattern
Stitch the navy outline (939) first even though it’s not the largest color — at this small a stitch count, the outline is what actually reads as “pizza slice” from a distance, and getting the diagonal crust edge right early keeps every other color inside a clean boundary. With only 350 stitches total, this is a good pattern to keep in your kit as a travel project or a palate cleanser between the larger designs in this collection.
