Cut pizza dough into 8 equal portions. Let rest on a lightly floured surface while you assemble the skewers.
-
Thread 2 pepperoni, 2 mushroom halves, 2 pepper pieces and 2 cheese cubes alternately onto eight 6-inch skewers.
-
Stretch and pat each portion of dough into a rectangle approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons sauce on each portion of dough. Place one skewer on each piece of dough, wrap the dough around the skewer and pinch to seal. Place the skewers seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with oil and sprinkle with oregano (or basil).

Bake until golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve with the remaining marinara for dipping.
