Recipe Tips

Make Ahead - If you're preparing this dip ahead of time for a party, you can prepare, cover and then place in the fridge. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before baking.
Cooking Time - Baking time will vary, make sure to check to make sure the dip is cooked and golden brown before removing.
Softened Cream Cheese - Before spreading the cream cheese mixture, make sure the cream has softened. This makes it easy to spread smooth and creamy.

Variation Ideas

This pizza dip is so versatile! You can make multiple different versions of this dip for a pizza dip bar or for picky eaters.

Toppings - My kids love this dip just topped with pepperoni. But you can definitely add crumbled Italian sausage, black olives, basil, onions, bacon, mushrooms, and your other favorite pizza toppings can go into this cream cheese dip base as well.
Sauce - If you prefer, you can skip the store bought pasta sauces and create your own. I would suggest using a large can of crushed tomatoes and seasoning it with a little bit of garlic and oregano or Italian seasoning. For a more authentic homemade marinara, stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and about 1/3- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.
Cheese - Feel free to use different types of cheese such as cheddar cheese. You can substitute a cup mozzarella or a combination of shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
