Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the mushrooms: Gently wipe each mushroom clean with a damp paper towel. Carefully remove the stems by twisting them off. For more filling space, use a small spoon to gently scrape out the dark gills from inside the caps. You can finely chop the stems to add to the filling.
Season the mushroom caps: In a medium bowl, toss the mushroom caps with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Arrange them hollow-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
Mix the filling: In a separate small bowl, combine the marinara sauce, half of the shredded mozzarella, mini pepperoni, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and the chopped mushroom stems (if using). Stir until well mixed.
Stuff the mushrooms: Using a small spoon, carefully fill each mushroom cap with the pizza mixture, mounding it slightly.
Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
