Pepperoni Pizza Dip

I love many things, but somewhere near the top of the list is “holiday traditions,” followed closely by “all things CHEESE.” And pizza definitely counts as an “all things cheese” item. Even though I get excited about fancy pizzas with gourmet toppings, I always come back to a classic pepperoni pizza from time to time because, really, sometimes classic is exactly what you need. Bread + sauce + cheese + spicy pepperoni.

This dip is PERFECT for holiday get-togethers, especially if you’re planning a party. Appetizers and dips are meant to shine at get-togethers, and this pepperoni pizza dip is no exception. Nothing like starting the night off right with a dish full of pizza that you can dip, scoop and smother to your heart’s content! The best part is how easy it is – just five ingredients! Give it a try. You will be hooked!

What Ingredients are in Pepperoni Pizza Dip?

The answer to this is easy because the list is short! You only need six ingredients for this dip, and I bet that you already have most of them in your kitchen already. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Cream Cheese: Take your cream cheese out of the fridge before you plan on making the dip and let it soften to room temperature. It will mix so much better this way!
• Pizza Sauce: You can use homemade pizza sauce or store bougth pizza sauce for this recipe. Whichever you prefer!
• Italian Style Cheese: You can buy this pre-shredded at the grocery store.
• Pepperoni: I like to cut my pepperoni slices in half so that I can have pepperoni in every bite.
• Italian Seasoning: You can use store bought seasoning or make this Italian seasoning at home! It’s so good and really takes any recipe to the next level.
• Things to dip: Crackers, sliced French baguette, or breadsticks for dipping.

How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Dip

This dip only takes a few minutes together, and then you just have to bake it to get it nice, hot, and bubbly! Eat it fresh out of the oven, and you will be delighted with the taste and texture of this delicious dip.
