What Kind of Pepperoni Should I Use?

You can use traditional pepperoni slices, mini pepperoni for better coverage, or even turkey pepperoni if you’re looking for a lighter option. Want to switch it up? Try chopped cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers to make it your own.

How To Make the Savory 5-Ingredient Pizza Dip

Step 1: Layer the Cream Cheese

Spread the softened cream cheese evenly on the bottom of a baking dish. This forms the creamy, rich base of your dip.

Step 2: Add the Pizza Sauce

Spoon the pizza sauce over the cream cheese layer and spread it gently to cover the surface.

Step 3: Sprinkle the Cheeses

Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella followed by a light dusting of parmesan cheese for flavor and a golden finish.

Step 4: Top with Pepperoni

Add pepperoni slices evenly over the top. For extra crispiness, use mini pepperoni or chop larger slices into quarters.

Step 5: Bake Until Bubbly

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.
