Ingredients

1 pizza crust dough Buy refrigerated dough or use the link to my favorite homemade pizza dough recipe.
1 cups pizza sauce
1 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
15 pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a pizza stone or baking pan with parchment paper.
Roll dough out on a flat surface into an even layer about ¼" thick (or your preferred thickness). Use cookie cutters of various sizes to make heart-shaped mini pizzas.
Place the dough hearts on the prepared pizza stone.
Spread sauce on the dough hearts, then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella.
If your set of cookie cutters has a heart small enough, make the pepperoni into heart shapes. If not, use them whole. Place 2-3 pepperoni slices on each pizza, depending on size.
Bake pizzas 10-15 minutes at 375ºF until the cheese is melted and crusts are golden brown.

Notes

If your dough is on the thick side, and you're so inclined, you can pre-bake the pizzas for 5-7 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings. This helps the dough to cook properly all the way through.

Decrease the final cooking time to 7-10 minutes and check often to make sure the edges of the crust don't burn. When you pre-bake, you're essentially just melting the cheese in the last step.
