For 4 servings
Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the dough. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough. Gently press or roll it into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Add garlic butter. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Layer the toppings. Spread the pizza sauce in a thin, even layer over the garlic butter. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices.
Cut into strips. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the topped dough lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips. You should get about 12-16 strips.
Bake the pizza sticks. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier finish, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Garnish and serve. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the pizza sticks with dried oregano. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Pizza Sticks are best enjoyed as an occasional treat or appetizer rather than a health food. They are high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat. To make them slightly healthier, you could use whole wheat dough, reduced-fat cheese, and add vegetable toppings.
Absolutely! A simple homemade pizza dough works wonderfully for this recipe. Prepare your favorite recipe and let it rise before rolling it out as directed in Step 2.
Pizza Sticks are best served fresh from the oven. However, you can assemble them up to 4 hours in advance. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bake just before serving, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
While marinara is classic, these sticks are also delicious with ranch dressing, garlic butter sauce, or a creamy pesto dip.
