Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

- Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared pizza pan. Arrange the mozzarella cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of dough exposed.
- Fold the edge of the dough over the cheese sticks and pinch to seal, forming the stuffed crust.
- Brush the stuffed crust with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the center of the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni slices.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.

For a spicier pizza, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the pepperoni.
