Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, stirring halfway, until the cheeses are melted and easy to blend.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Add the melted cheese mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If it's too sticky, lightly oil your hands and knead the dough until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into logs about 10 inches long. Gently shape each log into a pretzel shape by forming a U, crossing the ends over each other, and pressing them down toward the lower curve of the U.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Press a few pepperoni slices onto each pretzel and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb pizza pretzels warm!
