Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 30 pepperoni
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped parsley or basil *optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper, set aside.
  • Fold each pepperoni in half and cut into heart shapes using kitchen shears. Place on a paper towel lined plate and microwave for 15 seconds on high. Dab any excess grease off, set aside.
  • Lightly flour a surface, roll dough into a heart shape, about 16 inches in width. Fold edges over and press to create the crust. 
  • Transfer pizza dough to prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil, then dock the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. Remove and spread sauce over top, then add cheeses and pepperoni. 
  • Return to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the pepperoni is crispy. Remove from the oven and top with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
