Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Dust your work surface with a tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle, approximately 12x8 inches.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices. Use about 2 pepperoni slices per roll section to evenly distribute.
Gently roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the long edges. Pinch the seam shut to secure the roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pieces (approximately 1 inch thick each).
Place each slice, cut-side up, into the prepared muffin pan cups.
Sprinkle the tops of the rolls with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pizza rolls cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan with a spoon or small spatula.
Serve warm, with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
