Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Roll Out the Dough: On a clean surface, unroll the store-bought pie dough circles, one on top of the other.
Cut Into Rectangles: Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough stack into 4 equal-sized rectangles.
Layer and Fill: Place 4 rectangles onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the edges of each rectangle with olive oil. Spoon a bit of marinara sauce onto the center of each rectangle, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, and pieces of pepperoni.
Top and Seal: Carefully place the remaining 4 rectangles of dough on top of the filled ones. Use a fork to crimp the edges shut, sealing the filling inside each poptart.
Ventilation and Seasoning: Use a knife to cut three small slices on the top of each poptart to allow steam to vent during baking. Brush the tops of each poptart with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Bake Until Golden: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the pizza poptarts for 12-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
