Grease hands with olive oil.

Roll a piece of pizza dough into a ball and set it aside.

Repeat until desired amount of dough balls is made.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese to the melted butter and mix well.

Grease a muffin pan with the garlic butter.

Place each dough ball in the muffin pan.

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm area for 30 minutes to an hour until doubled in size.

Remove the plastic wrap and grease a shot glass with olive oil.

Use the shot glass to punch down the center of the dough and shape it into a cup.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 to 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce, a slice of pepperoni, and more shredded mozzarella cheese to each cup.

Place the muffin pan in the oven at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

Brush the tops of the puffs with the garlic butter after baking.

Sprinkle parsley and oregano on top before serving.
