This Pepperoni Pizza Dip is a great option for serving at your Big Game party, though it’s really great party food any time of the year! This is one of my most husband’s favorite dips alongside my Taco Dip and Buffalo Chicken Dip!
Popping in really quickly today with this Pepperoni Pizza Dip because I’m usually super late to the game when it comes to sharing party food (see my Jalapeno Popper Dip post from 2 years ago), but this year I’m actually early. Which, as Zach will tell you, pretty much never happens. I’ve already shared Big Game-worthy Fried Pickles and I actually have another dip recipe planned for you next week (which is why I’m squeezing this one in now).

How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Dip
This dip is incredibly simple to make (as all good party foods should be). We’re forgoing a traditional crust for this “pizza” and subbing in a creamy, melty, triple-cheese base instead. It’s a combo of cream cheese, mozzarella, and parmesan, but we’ll also toss in a bit of garlic powder and crushed red pepper for flavor. Next comes our pizza sauce, we’ll spoon this evenly over our base before topping everything off with a combo of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. And mini pepperonis! Of course you can use regular sized pepperonis, but the miniature variety are better for ensuring you get enough of the flavor in every bite without completely overwhelming your pizza dip. Use as many or as few as you would like. It’s pretty well-documented that I’m no oregano fan, but for an authentic pizza appearance, you can sprinkle everything with a light dusting of dried oregano.
Corn chips, pita chips, and crackers are all great dipping options, but my preference is to use baguette slices. Zach also liked just using a spoon 😂
Enjoy!
