Who doesn’t love pizza? I mean seriously, it’s like the universal food of love. Anyone you share pizza with is an instant friendship.

And Pizza comes in all shapes, sizes and toppings…but one fun thing that we discovered that is a new favorite way to share a pizza type dish, without it being the main dish is Perfect Pizza Dip!

It is Ah-mazing and hits the spot no matter the reason or the occasion.

And, since the pull-apart pizza bread that we posted a few years ago is still one of the top recipes EVER on our site, we decided we needed to share this pizza appetizer with you all too so you can add to the pizza appetizer options. This one is also a little faster and easier when you want a pizza snack a bit faster than our pull apart pizza bread.

Another reason why this is so popular and perfect for anyone and any occasion is because it is naturally gluten-free, then you can just serve with gluten-free bread, crackers or chips (including tortilla – which works well with this!). So it is a pizza like treat for those that can’t have pizza normally!

Also, we are going to share the most popular combination of ingredients for this recipe, but just like pizza, it can be customized to be a hundred different types of pizza dip…including vegetarian (and a favorite way to do this is replace the pepperoni with mushrooms and olives).

Ingredients for Perfect Pizza Dip

  • ½ Cup pepperoni, sliced
  • 2 Cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1½ Cups marinara sauce
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 1 Tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tsp ground black pepper

How to make Perfect Pizza Dip

  • Preheat the oven at 350ºF
  • Slice the tomato and place it in a skillet.
  • In a bowl mix the marinara sauce, oregano, red pepper flakes and ground black pepper.
  • Transfer to the skillet.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
  • Take to the oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool down.
  • Serve and enjoy.

You can keep this warm by leaving it in the oven and pulling out right before serving or warm up again between servings in the oven.
