It's a reference to cooking something with a small, medium hot pepper called a pepperoncini. Kind of like a banana pepper. You get them in the box with a Papa John's pizza and sometimes in a Greek Salad. Used in Italian cooking.

A peperoncino is an Italian pepper. Can be spicy, sweet, or extra spicy!
"Fresh or dried, peperoncino peppers can add character to a variety of dishes, soups, pickled items, sauces and marinades. When dried, the spice keeps for long periods of time. It can be preserved whole, finely chopped, ground, or placed in a jar and then covered with oil. In Italy, the peppers are often threaded on a string by their stalks, and hung."

It is a mild yellow pepper that is pickled. It is used in Italian salads, served with pizzas or eaten as is. It is also used on subs.

Would you mean "peperoncini". This is a small hot red pepper very used by italian people. It's very tasty but very hot, hot, hot.
