I barely have words for this pizza dip. I mean, look at it.
There’s always something so fun about a dip.
Add bread, add veggies, or eat it plain. Sometimes switching things up and turning traditional foods – like pizza – into a dip is way to make food fun.
This dip is fun. It’s also beyond delicious!!!
You’ve got perfectly melty cheese and salty pepperoni. It also has a base layer made with Greek yogurt that makes the dip extra creamy and really ups the protein in it.
Between the Greek yogurt, cheese, and pepperoni, this dip has a lot of protein.
I love it as an appetizer – especially if you’re serving guests. Set it out with some toasted sourdough bread or pita chips. Your guests will love it!
And look, you can also totally make this one for just yourself too. If you want to make less, simply half the recipe and use a smaller skillet.
Or make the full recipe! I’m sure you know by now that serving sizes are arbitrary and if you feel like eating the whole thing, go right ahead.
After all, you know your body and its hunger and levels best.
But what you don’t yet know is how delicious this pizza dip is! So please, run to make it.

Drizzle with oil & bake
Drizzle with olive oil on top and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese has fully melted.
Broil for a few additional minutes until the cheese is golden on top, making sure it doesn’t burn.
