In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and combined.

Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place the bread slices butter side up on a sheet tray until ready to use.

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place one slice of bread butter side down in the skillet. Layer with 1 slice of mozzarella, 6 pepperoni slices, another slice of mozzarella, 6 more pepperoni slices, and a final slice of mozzarella. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up.

Freeze extras by wrapping them tightly in foil and reheating in the oven.
