Preheat oven to 375˚F. Line baking tray with parchment paper.
On the baking tray, open crescent dough and separate the 4 rectangles (2 crescent triangles each). Press perforations together to seal and press each rectangle to create a 4x6" rectangle.
On one end of each rectangle, add 1 Tablespoon pizza sauce, ¼ of the pepperoni (6 slices), and 2-3 Tablespoons mozzarella cheese.
Fold dough from the edge opposite the filling. Seal the dough on the open sides by pressing with a fork.
Poke the top of each pizza pocket with a fork 3-4 times. Sprinkle each top with 1 Tablespoon parmesan cheese, if desired.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition calculated without optional Parmesan cheese topping.
Store leftovers separated with a layer of parchment paper.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave, and pop under the broiler briefly to crisp up.
