What’s in pepperoni pizza dip?

You only need 4 simple ingredients to make this super creamy dip!

Cream Cheese: You need 8 oz of cream cheese for this recipe. I recommend making sure that the cream cheese is really soft before you use it, that way you can avoid getting clumps.
Pizza Sauce: Any brand pizza sauce (or even a homemade version!) will do here. YOu can also use marinara sauce.
Mozzarella Cheese: You’ll need shredded mozzarella for this recipe. You can sub with a pizza blend cheese, or basically anything that will melt on top!
Pepperonis: I use turkey pepperoni, but you can use any type (I love spicy pepperoni!). Mini pepperonis work really well here as they’re easier to scoop. You can also leave them off, or replace them with your favorite pizza toppings!

Making cheesy pizza dip

Cream cheese base — Start by mixing 1/2 cup of pizza sauce and the softened cream cheese. I recommend using a stand mixer or electric mixer here — saves you some elbow grease!

Topped with pizza sauce — Next, pour your cream cheese mixture into a skillet, baking dish, or 9-inch pie plate and smooth it with a spatula. Top the cream cheese mixture with the remaining pizza sauce and smooth it into an even layer.

Topped with mozzarella cheese and pepperonis — Top your dip with the mozzarella and pepperoni slices (or your favorite toppings!). Bake the whole thing at for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly. I like to broil it for just a minute to brown up the top of the cheese a little.

4-Ingrediente Pizza Dip — Serve your easy pizza dip hot. You can top it with chopped fresh basil, parmesan cheese, a sprinkling or italian seasoning, black olives, or chopped green onions.

FAQs

Can I make pizza dip ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the dip up to 24 hours in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to serve, bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s going into the oven cold.

Can I add other pizza toppings?

Absolutely! Try cooked sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black olives, diced bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños. Just avoid adding vegetables with a lot of moisture unless you cook them first.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover pizza dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or warm it in the oven until heated through.
