Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

16 ounces pizza dough, store-bought or homemade (I like this no-knead version, though note that this recipe makes enough dough for 2 pizzas)

18-20 slices pepperoni

12 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh oregano, optional

Flour for rolling and shaping dough
