Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper, cooking spray can also be used to grease the baking sheets.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheets into smooth, equal rectangles.
2 sheets puff pastry
Brush the tomato sauce over the top of one of the puff pastry sheets. Leave a half-inch border around the edges.
¼ cup tomato sauce
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the tomato sauce, then cover with the other sheet of puff pastry.
¾ cup mozzarella
Separate egg yolk from egg white.
Add egg yolk to a bowl with water. Beat until combined well.
1 teaspoon water, 1 egg yolk
Brush the egg wash over the top of the puff pastry. Evenly top with oregano, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan.
½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cut the sheet lengthwise into 9 equal long strips, then cross-wise twice to cut the strips into thirds. This should make 27 small pizza sticks.
Gently twist each pizza stick while holding the two sheets together. Place on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in your preheated oven until puffed and golden, about 15-20 minutes. Serve with additional tomato sauce for dipping, and enjoy!

You can use pizza dough instead of puff pastry to make pizza twists if you prefer.
Defrost frozen puff pastry to room temperature for about an hour before making this recipe to make it easier to roll and twist.
Only use shredded cheese to fill the pizza twists. Fresh mozzarella balls have too much moisture and will not work well for this recipe.
Add only a thin layer of tomato sauce to the puff pastry, or your pizza twists will leak everywhere!
