7 Layer Pizza Dip is an easy hot cheesy dip recipe that is even better than pizza!! The layers of cheese, sauce, and toppings that will be the hit of your party. What will you top it with?
Pizza is a huge weakness for me. I could eat it every day and never get tired of it. Now I can add Pizza DIP to my love language: This is almost better than the real thing, and it’s definitely easier than making homemade pizza.
- It’s an gooey easy cheesy dip: a hot appetizer that tastes like pizza without the crust.
- The crust comes in the form of the dippers, like pretzels or crackers, or Fritos.
- And this isn’t just your average baked dip – it’s a 7 Layer pepperoni pizza dip with your favorite pizza toppings! All the pizza flavors and lots of cheese without all the hassle.
Ingredients Needed
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese: Be sure to use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps!
- Spices: Dried basil and oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes all add tons of pizza flavor.
- Cheeses: You’ll need grated Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. I just love adding some cheddar to pizza – reminds me of my favorite childhood restaurant.
- Pizza sauce: My favorite one is homemade but you can use any from the store too.
- Toppings: Pick your favorites! Sliced pepperoni, olives, bell peppers – anything!
How to Make Pizza Dip
- Combine the cream cheese, herbs, spices, and Parmesan cheese using a hand mixer in a large mixing bowl.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture in a 9” pie pan
- Spread the pizza sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle both kinds of cheese over the top of the sauce, followed by pepperoni, olives, and bell peppers.
- Bake until it’s hot and the cheese is melted. Serve the dip hot.
What to serve with pizza dip?
You can serve all kinds of dippers with this hot pizza dip recipe. Here are a few we like:
Chips: Try some tortilla chips, pita chips, or Fritos.
Crackers: Ritz, Wheat Thins, or water crackers are all great, too.
Bread: Spread the dip on baguette slices or use breadsticks as a dipper
Veggies: Celery sticks, carrot sticks, and sliced bell peppers would be a healthy dipper!
Expert Tip
I like using a 9-inch pie plate but you could also use a similar size baking dish or even a skillet. Just make sure whatever you use is a heat safe dish.
FAQ
Yes, you can! Layer the ingredients in your crockpot and cook the dip on low for four hours or until it’s hot and melty.
Store leftover pizza dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I don’t recommend freezing it.
It’s a great make-ahead dip! Assemble the dip in the pie plate nad chill it until you’re ready to bake it. You can do this up to a day in advance. It may need a little longer baking time.
