Skip takeout—we’re bringing the
pizza vibes to your Super Bowl bash with this party dip. Trust us, this hot dip is the next best thing to the classic pie. Four types of cheese were used to create this bubbling masterpiece, and we must say—the cheese pulls are pretty jaw-dropping. We went for a meat lovers’ version here, filled with bacon, sausage, and pepperoni, but you can customize this dip completely to recreate your fave slice. Serve this at your game day or movie night-in to transform the party classic into a dippable dream. Here’s everything you need to know:
How to bake pizza dip:
You’ve got a few options when it comes to making this pizza dip, and we’ve included instructions for both. You can cook your ingredients on the stovetop, then combine everything in an oven-safe skillet and bake until bubbly and melty, around 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook everything in your Instant Pot instead if you’re looking to use fewer dishes.
We bake this dip in a skillet for ease, but if you’d prefer to amp up your presentation, you can divide your dip into ramekins to make this dip extra shareable.
Top tips for making pizza dip:
— If you don’t have pizza sauce, a bottled pre-made marinara works great. But then again, so does our homemade marinara.
— If you don’t have Italian seasoning, no problem! Use a combo of oregano, dried thyme, and basil instead.
— If you miss the bread vibes too much, then check out our pull-apart garlic bread pizza dip.
Topping variations:
If you’re a supreme fan, feel free to add any veggies your heart desires. If adding diced onions, tomatoes, or green peppers, cook before adding your sausage to ensure they’re nice and soft before baking your dip. If you prefer black olives or pineapple on your pizza (no judgment here), add them in place—or in addition—to your pepperonis before baking.
Serving ideas:
We love serving this dip with baguette slices, but your options don’t stop there. Pair this cheesy dip with garlic bread, pita chips, crackers or breadsticks.
