Spread marinara sauces over the bottom cheesy layer. Add pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions on top. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Place pie plate on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes and then broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese a little bit. Sprinkle with chopped basil. Serve with garlic toast, bagel chips or pita chips.
