Pizza Dip Recipe is the kind of cheesy, pepperoni-packed dip that disappears fast, especially when you serve it with garlic toast.

Author’s Notes

Currently In My Dip Era

When I posted this cheesecake dip, I admitted to my full-blown dip obsession…and honestly, it’s only getting worse. This season is all about sharing food and showing up with something everyone wants to crowd around, so dips feel right.

And this pizza dip recipe is definitely one I’ll bring again and again. It has all the pizza flavor with a creamy base, a saucy middle, and a melted cheesy top. But the real MVP is the garlic bread crostini. They’re crunchy, flavorful, and reliable for scooping up every last bit!

Add a drizzle of hot honey on top and you might just turn this dip into your whole meal.

All the ingredients in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly including the baguette, basil, pizza sauce, hot honey, sour cream, pepperoni, cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, seasonings, and cheddar.

Ingredients In This Pizza Dip Recipe

Ingredient	Tip
Cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan	Soften the cream cheese so the base mixes smooth and creamy.
Pizza sauce	A thicker sauce gives better flavor and prevents the dip from getting watery. I’m obsessed with Rao’s pizza sauce.
Mozzarella and Cheddar	Freshly shredded cheese melts smoother and tastes better than pre-shredded.
Pepperoni	Or try other traditional pizza toppings!
Baguette, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning	Slice thin and toast until lightly golden for sturdy dippers.

Other Dippers To Try

Beyond the garlic bread crostini, this Pizza Dip Recipe is also great with:

Soft garlic knots for a warm, chewy dipper
Pita chips for a sturdy crunch
Breadsticks torn into pieces
Crackers like buttery rounds or toasted everything crackers
Pretzel bites for a salty twist
Veggies like bell pepper strips or cucumbers if someone wants a lighter option

All the layers of this pizza dip recipe being layered into the pan and then baked.
