Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the dough into small squares, about 3 inches each.

Place a piece of mozzarella cheese and a slice of pepperoni in the center of each square.

Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of the fillings.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and pinch the edges to seal.

Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper.

Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
