Ingredients
You can find a full list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Let’s talk a little about what you need for this cheesy pizza dip!
Pizza Sauce – You will want to use a pizza sauce you really like because it is so important to this recipe. I love using my Homemade Pizza Sauce which makes enough for this plus a couple pizzas!
Mini Pepperoni – I love the mini pepperoni because they are the perfect size for cooperating with dunking into a cheese dip (plus they are so cute!). You can also use a regular sized pepperoni and cut them into quarters instead. If you leave them as large pepperoni, it will be difficult to scoop them up.
Dunkers – Pita chips are a perfect dunker because they mimic a pizza crust. My easy Homemade Pita Chips are perfect to use here, plus much more cost effective than buying store pita chips. Use any dunkers you like such as tortilla chips, veggies, etc.
Modifications and Substitutions
Use any pizza toppings you love on top. Turn it into a meat lovers with sausage, bacon, and/or ground beef. Make it supreme with some sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and olives. Or even all-veggie or just plain cheese!
