Instructions:

- Let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Clean the Mushrooms: Gently wipe the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt before cooking. Avoid rinsing under water as mushrooms absorb moisture and can become soggy.
- Pre-cook the Mushrooms: Briefly pre-cook the portabella mushrooms in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to help remove excess moisture before adding the toppings.
- Even Topping Distribution: Ensure that the tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheeses are evenly distributed over the mushrooms to achieve a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Adjust Seasonings: Feel free to adjust the amount of oregano and garlic powder according to your taste preference for a more personalized flavor.
- Watch the Cheese: Keep an eye on the pizzas while they are baking to prevent the cheese from burning. Bake just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
