Spicy Pizza in Vernon: Can You Handle Pepperich's Ghost Pepper & Mango Habanero?

Some people order pizza to relax. Others order it to test their limits. If you fall into the second camp, Pepperich Pizza in Vernon has a heat spectrum built for you — from a friendly warmth all the way up to ghost pepper territory. Here is how to find your level.

Where to Start: Mild to Medium Heat

Not ready to commit to a full ghost-pepper experience? Ease in:

• Firecracker — pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, banana pepper, jalapeno, and chilli flakes. A steady, building warmth.
• Hot Pepper Beef — ground beef, jalapeno, green pepper, chilli flakes, and a garlic aioli drizzle to balance the burn.
• Spicy Peppy Paneer — marinated paneer with jalapeno and a peri peri drizzle, for a vegetarian kick.

Stepping Up: The Mango Habanero Builds

Mango habanero is the sweet spot between fruit and fire — sweet up front, hot on the finish:

• Habanero Tikka — marinated chicken on a butter chicken base, finished with mango habanero drizzle.
• Firecracker Hawaiian — ham, bacon, pineapple, banana pepper, and jalapeno with that mango habanero drizzle. Sweet, salty, spicy all at once.

The Top of the Mountain: Ghost Pepper

This is where things get serious. Pepperich's ghost pepper builds are not a gimmick — they are for genuine heat-seekers:

• Ghost Pepper Meatlovers — ground beef, salami, pepperoni, rasher bacon, jalapeno, and red onion on a garlic butter base, finished with ghost pepper ranch drizzle.
• Ghost Pepper Chicken Bacon Ranch — chicken, green pepper, red onion, and bacon on an alfredo base, with ghost pepper ranch.
• Ghost Pepper Garden Veggie — the veggie option, with jalapeno, green pepper, sundried tomato, and ghost pepper ranch.

Build Your Own Heat

Want to dial in the spice exactly? The Create Your Own pizza lets you stack jalapenos and banana peppers and add post-bake drizzles like ghost pepper ranch, mango habanero, peri peri, and buffalo. Start mild and work your way up over a few visits — your taste buds will thank you (eventually).

A quick, honest note: spice tolerance is personal. Ghost pepper and habanero builds are hot, so order to your comfort level and keep a 2L of pop on hand.
