For the Pepperoni Pizza dip:

1. A 9″ pie plate or baking dish
2. Cream cheese– room temperature, get the 80 ounce brick
3. Seasonings– salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning
4. Spaghetti sauce– I use jarred sauce to keep it simple, but you can use homemade if you prefer 
5. Grated parmesan cheese 
6. Pepperoni– large pepperoni chopped up or mini pepperonis
7. Mozzarella cheese– freshly shredded cheese from a block melts the best
8. Fresh basil or parsley– for garnish (optional)

For the Garlic Toast Chips:

1. Baguette– sliced
2. Olive oil
3. Garlic powder 

How To Make It

First, we’ll make the garlic toast chips. This is totally optional, you can just as easily serve this with crackers. I personally love the mini garlic toasts with it though!

Slice the baguette into 1/4″ slices and add to a sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil all over and sprinkle on garlic powder. Bake until toasted.

Next, prepare the dip. Mix the cream cheese and seasonings together and spread at the bottom of a pie pan or baking dish.

Top the cream cheese layer with the sauce, pepperoni, and grated parmesan cheese.

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and bake until hot and bubbly. Top with fresh basil and serve with the garlic toasts.

This is a must make! You will love it!

Tips and Variations

• Use pizza sauce: Swap out pasta sauce for pizza sauce for a true pizzeria flavor.
• Add toppings: Mix in extras like bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, sausage, or spinach.
• Serving options: Pair with crackers, pretzels, pita chips, or bagel chips if you don’t want to make garlic toast chips.
• Cream cheese tip: Always soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for a smooth, creamy dip.
• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven (if you have any leftovers!).

Make Pepperoni Pizza Dip in the Crock Pot

Easily make Pepperoni Pizza Dip in the Crock Pot! Spray the crock pot with nonstick spray. Add everything to the crock pot- except the mozzarella cheese. Cook on low 3 hours or high 1 1/2 hours. Stir and add in the mozzarella cheese. Put the lid back on and cook another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
