INSIDE THE ONIMA PANTRYTHE CRAFT BEHIND THE BOTTLE
We took a side on pineapple.
Our house-made tepache uses a pepperoni-style spice blend: fennel, oregano, paprika, garlic, black pepper, and anise. It supplies the acidity in place of vinegar. Fresh pineapple and whipped honey bring the rest of the slice together, without any meat.
A CLOSER LOOK
A little more about Pineapple Pizza.
What’s in the bottle, what to expect, and how to use it.
Does this sauce really taste like Hawaiian pizza?
Yes. The pepperoni-spice tepache makes your brain register pepperoni even though there's no meat. Combined with fresh pineapple and a whipped honey-olive-oil emulsion that mimics pizza crust, the sauce tastes one-to-one like a slice.
Does it have pepperoni in it?
No. The pepperoni flavor comes from a spice blend (fennel, oregano, paprika, garlic, black pepper, anise) fermented into the tepache. The sauce is vegetarian.
What's tepache?
A traditional Mexican fermented pineapple drink, made by fermenting pineapple with piloncillo (raw cane sugar) and warming spices for a few days. Ours uses pepperoni spices instead of warming spices.
Is it vegan or gluten-free?
It contains honey, which means it's vegetarian but not vegan. Yes, it is gluten-free.
Has it won any awards?
Yes. Silver, Fruit Hot Sauce category, at the Scovie Awards 2026.
What are the full ingredients?
Pineapple, Pineapple Tepache (Water, Pineapple, Piloncillo, Spices), Habanero Pepper Mash (Habanero Peppers, Salt), Honey, Olive Oil, Ascorbic Acid, Salt, Xanthan Gum.
