Instructions
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot, add in the sausage and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until crispy and no longer pink, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the pepperoni slices and cook a minute or two longer. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and pepperoni from the skillet.
Add in the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the bell pepper and mushrooms and cook until they've just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the olives, Italian seasoning, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Return the sausage and pepperoni to the skillet and cook until warmed through.
To serve, spoon the filling into lettuce leaves and top with a sprinkling of mozzarella and parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Top with pizza sauce and serve immediately and enjoy!
