Fire up your grill or pan and turn on the broiler to medium-high. Put the buns face-up on a baking sheet and toast till they're golden. Take the top parts off and put them aside.

Cook each patty about 4-5 minutes on both sides.

While your patties cook, warm up the pizza sauce in a small pot over low heat, giving it a stir now and then. Spread some sauce on the bottom buns, add half the cheese and some pepperoni. Stick under the broiler for 2-3 minutes till the cheese melts.
