Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
In a separate bowl, mix 1 large egg, 1.5 cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and knead well until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet and remove the top layer of parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of extra mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 20 slices of pepperoni and 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the toppings.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven. Top with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
