Ingredients
- 1 ball pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 30 lices pepperoni
- ¼ cup Pizza Sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or basil, *optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Fold each pepperoni in half and cut it 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, and set aside.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough into a heart shape, about 16 inches tall. Fold edges over and press to create the crust.
- Transfer the pizza dough to a 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 cheese 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.

Notes
- Store leftovers in a Ziploc bag in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 1-2 months. Reheat in the microwave or the oven on a low setting.
- Freezer meal. Prepare the dough and add the toppings, but don’t fully bake it yet! Flash-freeze it with all the toppings on it. Once frozen, double-wrap it in plastic wrap and then again with aluminum foil. Label and lay the pizza(s) flat in the freezer for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
