  1. Open the pizza crust tube and flatten it out on parchment paper or a floured surface before preheating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Divide the pizza crust into six pieces.
  3. Half of each square should be filled with pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, and two pepperoni slices.
  4. To create triangular pizza pockets, fold over each square. Using a fork, seal the edges.
  5. Optional: Apply a thin coating of oil to the tops of each triangle. On top, top with mozzarella cheese and some dried oregano leaves.
  6. They should be baked for 10 to 13 minutes at 425F until they are golden.
  7. For dipping, serve with a small bowl of pasta sauce.
