Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Spread ½ cup marinara evenly over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan, and 2 tablespoons each of pepperoni, black olives, bell pepper, and red onion. Repeat with the remaining marinara, mozzarella, parmesan, pepperoni, black olives, bell pepper, and red onion.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
- Increase the oven to broil and bake 2 minutes more. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve with toasted baguette slices.
