Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the french bread in half lengthwise.

Place the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Spread pizza sauce evenly over each half of the bread.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.

Add pepperoni slices and your choice of vegetables evenly over the cheese.

Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the toppings.

Drizzle olive oil lightly over the top.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before slicing.

Cut into pieces and serve warm.
