Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Spread pizza dough out on a cutting board and Cut the dough into 10 equal-size rectangles (a pizza cutter makes this job easier)
Arrange 4 pepperoni slices on each rectangle and top with a mozzarella cheese stick.
Roll up the pizza dough, enclosing the cheese stick, pinching the seams closed.
Melt the butter and stir in the parmesan cheese.
Brush the pizza sticks with the melted butter mixture.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Eat immediately with a side of marinara for dipping

Seal well: Make certain to roll the rectangles tightly and pinch the seams. If there are any gaps, the cheese will melt out and they won't have a gooey center or middle to them. You're going to want to bake them with the seam-side down.
Make a softer crust: You can also brush the melted butter mixture on again at the end of baking if you want. This will just make the pizza crust a bit softer and give a bigger parmesan taste and flavor.
Allow the rolls to cool: Be aware that the inside of these pizza rolls is going to be very hot. Little mouths will get burned quickly if you don't allow for a bit of cooling. Making a tiny tear and letting out some of the heat might help to speed up the cooling process.
