Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon.
Lightly brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to soften and release some moisture. Remove from oven and gently pat away any excess liquid with a paper towel.
Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the gill side of each mushroom cap.
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add 4 pepperoni slices to each mushroom cap or customize with your favorite toppings.
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each pizza for added flavor.
Return the stuffed mushroom caps to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Personal Portabella Pizza!
