In all seriousness, that one slice is not going to hurt you. You might burp or feel your stomach churn slightly, but it’s not going to hurt you.

But please, for the love of god, do not put that on a pizza. You are seriously risking grave injury and possibly death.

As someone else has mentioned, that meat has gone RANCID. For raw meats and cooked meats, freezing them preserves them for long periods of time.

However, with cured meats (like pepperoni), freezing causes a chemical reaction that results in an effect similar to botulism. This process is evident from the white film on the exterior, the yellow postules on the interior, and the flecks of greyness where red should be.

Basically, the high salt concentration mixed with the ice particles of the freezing process and the fats of the meat synthesize and develop a saponification of toxins that in high doses is absolutely fatal absent a total stomach pump. If you cook this on pizza, the toxins will spread through the grease and into the cheese and bind with the fats and that will be trouble

TL;DR That one slice isn’t going to hurt you, but DO NOT EAT ANYMORE and DO NOT PUT IT ON PIZZA
