2 pounds prepared pizza dough
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup minced pepperoni (optional)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, divided

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce looks dry at the edges, still moist in the middle, and crusts are crisp on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes.

Let cool to room temperature on racks and cut each pizza into 8 strips about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide.
