Prepare the pizza dough: If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions for thawing or rolling out. If using homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/4-inch thick.
- Assemble the pizza on a stick: Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 4-5 inches long. Thread each strip onto a skewer, weaving the dough onto the stick like a zigzag pattern, ensuring there’s space in between for toppings. Alternate between the dough and cheese, pepperoni, and any additional toppings like bell peppers or onions as you assemble.
- Bake the pizza sticks: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled pizza sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the pizza dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza sticks from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
