For a deeper flavor, try using fire-roasted canned tomatoes as a base for the sauce. You can also add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of smoked paprika to the sauce for extra complexity.
Feel free to experiment with different types of pepperoni. A combination of thinly sliced and thicker, artisanal pepperoni can add both texture and flavor.
If you don't have time to make your own dough, store-bought dough works perfectly fine.
