Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Slice the French bread loaf into 8 equal pieces and cut each piece in half lengthwise to create sandwich halves.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Spread the seasoned butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of all bread slices.
Heat 4 of the bread slices, buttered side down, in the skillet until lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the toasted bread slices from the skillet and set aside.
On the remaining 4 bread slices (buttered side down), layer 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, 5 pepperoni slices, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Top each assembled sandwich half with a toasted bread slice, buttered side up, to complete the sandwich.
Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet. Cook each side over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Touchdown Pepperoni Pizza Sandwich!
