I was at the grocery store earlier tonight when this question occured to me. What IS the difference? I suppose it has something to do with the way they're produced, because they're both made out of the same stuff, as far as I can tell, but they definitely taste different. Any formed-meat-makers care to enlighten me?

Pepperoni is a Southern Italian salami. Although there it is called salame piccante, or spicy salami, because peperoni is bell peppers (plural)
There are many different types of salami.

Pepperoni is a corruption of 'peperoni', the Italian plural of peperone, referring to the bell pepper in it.
It is a spicy Italian-American variety of dry salami made of beef, pork and often veal. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of Southern Italy, such as salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy dry sausage from Naples. Pepperoni is frequently used as a pizza topping in American-style pizzerias.
A 'Salame' (plural: Salami) is any cured (fermented, salted and air-dried) sausage made in the Italian tradition. The name comes from the Italian verb 'salare', meaning to salt.

A 'salame is a cured (fermented and air-dried) sausage of Italian tradition. The name comes from the Italian verb salare, meaning 'to salt'. In the United States, traditional salami are either imported or referred to as an "Italian Salame", the protected term for salami made in the United States with authentic traditions. Historically, salami has been popular amongst Italian peasants due to being a meat product able to be stored at room temperature for periods of up to a year, supplementing a possibly meagre or inconstant supply of fresh meat.... Pepperoni is a spicy Italian-American variety of dry salami made of beef, pork and often veal. Pepperoni is a descendant of the spicy salamis of Southern Italy, such as salsiccia Napoletana piccante, a spicy dry sausage from Naples. Pepperoni is frequently used as a pizza topping in American-style pizzerias. It is the most popular pizza topping in North America. Pepperoni is a corruption of peperoni, the Italian plural of peperone, referring to the bell pepper, so that ordering "peperoni" pizza in Italy is often an unwelcome surprise for North American tourists, not to mention the surprise of Italian tourists in English-speaking parts of the world who would be expecting bell peppers. To order the American version of pepperoni in Italy, someone would request salame piccante or salamino piccante (spicy salami, generally typical of Calabria). Throughout continental Europe, peperone is a common word for various types of capsicum including bell peppers and a small, spicy and often pickled pepper known as peperoncino or peperone piccante in Italy and pepperoncini or banana peppers in the US. Unlike in Europe, the English word, pepperoni, is used as a singular uncountable noun.

Pepperoni is a bit more spicy and usually best on pizza also it consists of usually pork and beef. Salami is made of a few different meats usually also beef and pork. Salami is also salted and best on sandwiches not pizza. (It could go with pizza too, i mean what the heck we put eggplant on pizza and it tastes good!)

Pepperoni is a highly spiced pork and beef sausage. Salami is a highly spiced and salted sausage, either hard or soft in consistancy. I hope that this helps!

As far as I can tell, pepperoni is spicier and it is of course used on pizza a lot. Salami has a milder flavor and is better in sandwiches and antipasta recipes.
