What will you top this pizza dip with?! Check out my list of ideas below and read through my PRO tips:
How to Make it
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Spread on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, baking pan, or cast iron skillet. Top with marinara sauce, then with Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese. Add pepperoni or desired pizza toppings. Bake uncovered at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Serve immediately!
Make-Ahead Method
Assemble the dip as outlined. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days prior to baking. When ready to bake, let it sit out for 20-25 minutes and bake as outlined.
Pro Tips
I recommend that you grate the Parmesan and shred the mozzarella from a block for best taste and consistency. I love using Rao’s marinara sauce or my homemade marinara for this recipe. Pizza sauce can also be used, but I prefer a more mild flavor from using marinara, it blends nicely with the other ingredients in this dip. Sour Cream substitutes include mayo, plain Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese. My No Knead Bread is perfect for dipping into this, it’s crusty on the outside and light & airy on the inside!

Pizza Topping Ideas
Additional topping options for this dip include sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, onions, sliced tomatoes, beef, ham, pineapple, feta, and more!
Storage
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-5 days. This dip doesn’t freeze well as the dairy separates after freezing/reheating.
