Line 15x10x1 pan with foil. Spray foil with non-stick spray. In large bowl, combine beef, crumbs, parmesan, basil, eggs, garlic, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup pizza sauce. Blend together.
On large piece of foil, shape beef mixture into 12x10 inch rectangle. Top with provolone, roasted peppers, olives, mushrooms, and onions, distributing evenly up to 1/2 inch of edges. Starting from the 10 inch side, roll up jelly-roll style. Seal edges well. Transfer and place seam side down on the foil-lined pan.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes. Remove meatloaf from oven; spoon remaining pizza sauce over loaf. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until cooked through the center (160 degrees F). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
