Preheat oven to 425F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread pizza crust evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt butter and garlic until fragrant. Brush evenly over the pizza crust.
Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, if using.
I often cut the breadsticks into 16 pieces in advance at this step, but it’s optional.
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
Cool slightly and enjoy warm.

Spread the Dough Evenly: Press the pizza crust into an even layer on the baking sheet so it bakes consistently.
Grate the Garlic Finely: Finely grated garlic spreads through the melted butter and coats the crust evenly.
Slice after Baking If You Prefer: The breadsticks can also be baked whole and cut with a pizza slicer once they come out of the oven.
Check Early:Start checking the breadsticks around the 10-minute mark, since oven temperatures and dough thickness can vary.
Refrigerator: Store cooled leftover breadsticks in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze cooled breadsticks in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: Warm them in the oven or air fryer until heated through to help bring back some crispness. The microwave works too, but the crust will be softer.
