Ingredients
  • 1 cup RAGÚ Homestyle Traditional Pasta Sauce, plus more for dipping

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  8. Cut remaining pepperoni in half, and add the slices between the rolls.
  9. Brush the tops of the pizza bites with olive oil, and sprinkle oregano, salt, and pepper over the tops of the rolls.
