Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and lightly grease four oven-safe ramekins or small bowls.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Divide the pizza dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle large enough to cover the tops of the ramekins with some overhang.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pizza sauce, cooked sausage, mushrooms, green bell peppers, red onions, and garlic powder. Stir well to incorporate.
Place a layer of mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices at the bottom of each ramekin.
Spoon the sauce mixture over the cheese and pepperoni in each ramekin, filling about 3/4 full.
Add another layer of mozzarella cheese on top, then sprinkle with dried oregano and Parmesan cheese.
Carefully drape a rolled-out pizza dough circle over each ramekin, pressing the edges to seal around the rim of the dish. Trim any excess dough.
Brush the top of each dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish. Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of oregano.
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the center of each dough lid to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the Pizza Pot Pies to cool slightly before serving. Flip upside-down onto a plate or serve directly from the ramekins for a fun presentation!
