Pepperoni Pizza Dip

A blend of cream cheese, red sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella bake together in a pie pan make a pepperoni pizza dip that everyone loves.

Pair the dip with fresh broccoli, sweet bell pepper slices, and crackers for a warm, creamy appetizer that’s perfect to share at a party, tailgate or movie night.

Pepperoni Pizza Dip Recipe

Surprisingly smooth and super creamy, even though you see a little texture until the cheese, the green bell pepper and green onion give a little kick to the end of each bite. Think of this as an enjoyable warm and creamy vegetable dip with pizza flavors.

Just like in our frozen bread dough stromboli, you can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Italian sausage, banana peppers, chopped onion or any other ingredient that sounds good to you.

The green bell peppers and green onions may seem out of place, but when chopped finely they enhance the pepperoni pizza dip flavor in a surprisingly harmonious way.

Our White Pizza Dip is similar, but quite a bit creamier because of the mayo that’s used.  There’s more red sauce in our Pizza Fondue. All of these easy pizza dip recipes are delicious and worth trying!

What To Serve With This Dip

We were first drawn to try this recipe our neighbor shared with us because it sounded like a warm, cheesy dip for crackers. But it turns out our family — and several friends — love it even more with broccoli!

When we began testing the recipe, my daughter was a baby who loved eating this cheesy dip plain. These days, we love pairing it with cucumbers, celery, and pita or tortilla chips for extra variety.

Ingredients Needed:

• Base Layer – cream cheese, sour cream, oregano and garlic powder
• Pizza Sauce
• Meat and Veggies – green onion, green pepper and mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni
• Mozzarella Cheese – just a little freshly shredded cheese to melt over top of the pepperoni

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Begin with very soft cream cheese.  Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese. Stir in sour cream, garlic powder and oregano.

Mix well and spread into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate.

Spread pizza sauce in an even layer on top.

Then sprinkle sliced green onions and chopped green pepper pieces over the top, all the way to the edges. 

Bake for 15 minutes.

Then add a thin layer of mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted and mixture is heated through.

Serve warm with vegetables, crackers or pita chips.
