Can I add other toppings?

Yes. You can make this dip like any pizza, and add some or all of your favorite toppings. Olives, mushrooms, onion, peppers, and sausage are all great options.

What do you dip in pizza dip?

This pizza dip knows no bounds! It goes great with crackers, chips, bagel bits, french bread, breadsticks, rolls, and even veggies. Trust us, it tastes good on almost anything!

Spice Level:

This dip isn’t particularly spicy, but there is a little heat in the pepperonis, and also from the red pepper flakes. You can omit the red pepper flakes if you would like it a little less spicy.

Baking Pan Options:

We made this dish in a 9-inch cast iron skillet. You can also make it in a 9×9 pan, 2 ½ quart baking dish, or even a 9-inch pie plate. 

Make Ahead Instructions:

Simply prepare the pizza dip in advance (don’t bake it) and cover tightly with plastic wrap. It will keep for several days in the refrigerator, and then you can pull it out and bake when you are ready to serve. How convenient is that?

A word of caution: A drastic temperature change from cold to hot can actually make some glass dishes shatter, so rather than taking your dish straight out of the refrigerator and putting it right into a 375F oven, we recommend letting it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or so before baking.
