Roll out the pizza crusts and use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut into small circles.
Use a pastry brush to brush the inside of each cupcake cavity with oil. You want to see a little bit of oil pooling in the bottom. Not lots but enough that we will get a few crispy areas during baking.
Add the pizza crusts to the prepared cupcake tin.
Then add a little bit of cheese in the bottom, topped with sauce, then topped with more cheese, then pepperonis on top.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning if using.
Bake at 400°F for 13-15 minutes. For my oven 13 minutes in a good amount. The edges should turn very golden brown and the cheese will begin to bubble.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm.

If you want to use other cheeses anything that melts can work. Sometimes I will sprinkle on a little Parmesan cheese during the last couple minutes of baking.
If you want to add other toppings beyond pepperoni feel free.
