Preheat oven to 425º F. Spray a football-shaped cake pan with cooking spray. Unroll 2 pizza crusts onto baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

Cut football shapes out of crusts, one larger than the other. Unroll and drape another tube of pizza dough over the inside of football pan. Sprinkle on 1/4 of pepperoni, cheese, and sauce. Top with smaller football-shaped crust.
3

Sprinkle on 1/3 remaining pepperoni, cheese, and sauce. Top with larger football-shaped crust. Sprinkle on remaining pepperoni, cheese, and sauce.

Unroll and drape another tube of pizza dough over top of the pan. Cut off dough around the edge of pan. Pinch dough together along the edge of pan.
5

Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven off, cover pizza with foil, and leave in oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, use string cheese to create the laces for the football.

Remove pizza from the oven and un-mold it onto a serving platter. Add string cheese laces to the top of football. Serve hot.
