Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or sausage with diced onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta and meat sauce. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella and half the Parmesan.
Pour half the pasta mixture into the baking dish. Top with half the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni slices.
Add the remaining pasta mixture, then top with remaining cheese, pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper if using.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
