Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, then roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle roughly 12x8 inches in size.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the mini pepperoni slices.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning evenly over the toppings.
Starting from one of the longer sides of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Try to keep the roll even to ensure uniform baking.
Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch-thick slices. You should end up with about 12–14 pieces.
Place the slices cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to encourage browning during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the Pizza Nibblers to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
