Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the bagels in half horizontally to create two halves per bagel. Set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Lightly toast the cut sides of the bagels in the butter for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto the toasted side of each bagel half.
Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce on each bagel. Divide the cheese evenly between all halves.
Place 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese for each bagel half.
Lightly sprinkle dried oregano and optional chili flakes over the toppings for added flavor.
Sandwich the bagels together (toasted sides with toppings facing inward) to form a sandwich.
Wrap each sandwich in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
Carefully remove the foil-wrapped sandwiches from the oven, unwrap, and let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Slice in half if desired and enjoy your Pizza Bagel Sandwich!
