Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Evenly distribute cooked ground beef, Italian sausage, and half of the pepperoni over the cheese layer.
05 -
Pour pizza sauce or marinara evenly across the meat and pepperoni layer. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and if desired, red pepper flakes.
06 -
Scatter the remaining mozzarella and shredded cheddar or provolone on top. Arrange the remaining pepperoni slices over the cheese.

Place the second pie crust over the filling to cover. Crimp the edges to seal, then brush the top with melted butter and a light sprinkle of garlic powder.
08 -
Bake on the center rack for 20–25 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown and cheese is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
