Easy Cheesy Pizza Dip

This easy cheesy pizza dip recipe is the perfect throw-together appetizer served with baguette toasts or tortilla chips.

Ingredients

Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

• Cream cheese. 
• Mozzarella cheese. I used low moisture mozzarella cheese. Fresh mozzarella will release too much liquid during cooking.
• Parmesan cheese. 
• Oregano. 
• Basil. 
• Pizza sauce. 
• Salami / Pepperoni.

How to make pizza dip

1. Make the dip mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add the oregano and basil then season with salt and pepper. Mix until everything is combined.
2. Bake: Transfer the cheese mixture to a casserole dish (I used a pie plate, you can use any oven-proof dish) then top with the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and salami. Place in a preheated oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes or until hot and melty. Remove from the oven and serve with baguette toasts.

What else can I add?

Use all your favorite pizza toppings for this dip. Add sauteed mushrooms and peppers, pitted olives, crispy bacon or sliced ham for more variety.

Can I make this in advance?

The pizza dip can be prepped completely then covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dip as the cheese’s texture will change once thawed. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven before serving.

What to serve with pizza dip

• Baguette toasts.
• Pita / Bagel chips.
• Tortilla chips.
