It’s probably no secret that I love pizza – I mean, who doesn’t? I think it’s fun turning the classic pepperoni pizza, loved by everyone, into other things. Enjoy guilty pleasures like Parmesan-crusted pepperoni pizza grilled cheese, pepperoni pizza lasagna rolls and pizza mac and cheese muffins, or healthier versions of pizza like bite-sized zucchini pizzas, 6 layer hummus pizza dip, pizza quinoa stuffed peppers, and pizza zucchini noodles.

About this pepperoni pizza dip

This dip starts with a trifecta of cheeses – mozzarella (to give that stringy melty goodness), cream cheese (to keep it all together), and salty parmesan for the boost of flavor that we all enjoy.

I like to use mini pepperoni but if you can’t find them or don’t want to stray from your favorite pepperoni brand, just cut up your pepperoni into smaller pieces to make for easier dipping. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh basil. For dipping, I use toasted bread (crostini) but crackers, chips, or fresh bread would be tasty, too. 

It goes without saying that this dip would be perfect for any game day party. If you’re having a lot of people over, you might want to double the batch because this pepperoni pizza dip is going to be popular!
