Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the bread base. Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise to create four equal-sized pieces. Place the bread pieces, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and garlic powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the bread. This creates a barrier to prevent sogginess and adds flavor.
Pre-bake the bread for 5-6 minutes. This step is crucial for a crispy crust. The bread should be lightly toasted and golden at the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Assemble the pizzas by spreading about 1/4 cup of pizza sauce on each piece of bread, leaving a small border.
Top with cheese and toppings. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella over the sauce on each piece. Arrange the pepperoni slices on top. Finish by sprinkling with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and beginning to turn golden brown.
Let the pizzas cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil, if using. This allows the cheese to set slightly. Slice and serve immediately.
