Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pepperoni slices, shredded mozzarella cheese, and pizza sauce.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and mix well.
Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the meat mixture along with the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions, shaping each portion into a small loaf.
Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool completely if you intend to freeze them.
To freeze, wrap each loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Label and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, thaw a loaf in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
