Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust on a lightly floured surface and slice it into 6 equal squares.
On one half of each square, place 1 tablespoon of pasta or marinara sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and top with 2 slices of pepperoni.
Fold the dough over to form triangles, sealing the edges with a fork.
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with dried oregano and extra mozzarella if desired.
Bake for 10-13 minutes until golden brown, monitoring to prevent over-baking.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
