- 24-30 slices Pepperoni slices Thick-cut pepperoni holds up through baking.
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese Use whole-milk mozzarella for creamier melts.

- Spoon a tablespoon or two of marinara onto each cheese-topped bun.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
