Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place in a food processor. Pulse until finely grated and rice-like consistency is achieved.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before handling.
Place the cooked cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with pepperoni slices.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
