Prepare pizza dough according to package instructions or your recipe.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle.

Place mozzarella cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, folding the dough over to encase the cheese.

Pinch the edges to seal the cheese inside the crust.

Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving the stuffed crust edge clear.

Add pepperoni and any additional toppings of choice evenly on top of the sauce.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder over the toppings.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve hot, enjoying the gooey cheese-filled crust.
