Easy Pepperoni Pizza Dip
Pizza. It’s everyone’s favorite food. Especially for game days, family-friendly weeknight dinners, and those must-have-cheese-now situations. If you’re a cheese lover or a pizza fan you’re going to love this crustless pizza dip. I’d gladly skip my own one-hour homemade pizza crust and just eat pizza cheese, thank you very much. Plus, no crust means it’s naturally gluten-free dip, which is nice if you’re entertaining to have that option. This pepperoni dip is so fast and easy to make that you can have it assembled and in the oven in less than 5 minutes without dirtying a single bowl. The perfect kind of recipe. There are only 5 ingredients in the dip, and 3 of them are cheese. Cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese that are layered into pizza sauce and topped with pepperoni.

How to Make Pizza Dip
This is such an easy dip recipe! Here’s an overview of how the cream cheese pepperoni pizza dip comes together:
What to Serve with Pizza Dip
The possibilities are endless when it comes to serving this pepperoni pizza dip! If you think something will taste good dunked in pizza sauce in cheese, then it probably will. Use your favorite pizza sauce or marinara sauce in this cheesy dip. If you have a homemade pizza sauce recipe you love (click the link to see my fave!), even better. Note that this pizza dip is best warm and fresh, but leftovers can be gently reheated in the microwave. Here are some serving suggestions to get you started:
Toasted baguette slices Breadsticks Garlic toast Pita chips Bagel chips Pretzels Crackers
Can I Add Extra Pizza Toppings to This Dip?
If you’re a fan of doctored up pizza (my family isn’t), feel free to add black olives, sausage, bell peppers, pineapple, or whatever floats your pizza boat. You can use pretty much any of your favorite pizza toppings in this recipe!
Can I Make Pizza Dip in a CrockPot?
I’ve never made pizza dip in the CrockPot before, so I’m not sure if it’ll work. Based on the texture of this dip, my gut says it won’t.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Spoon any leftover cream cheese pizza dip into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to five days. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave at 30-second intervals, and call them crust-less pizza or noodle-less lasagna. But I doubt you will wind up with leftovers because after everyone digs into the warm, gooey, bowl of comfort, all this cheesy goodness will be gone in no time!
