Ooey Gooey Pizza Dip
The wonderful thing about pizza?
Well, it’s hard for me to choose just one thing, really. But to answer that question in a very general sort of way, I love it for its versatility.
As much as I preach about traditions, I’m also not one to be tied down to the same ol’ thing time after time. Some days I’m in the mood for this…some days I’m in the mood for that. And pizza’s offerings are never ending.

Ooey Gooey Pizza Dip
Ingredients
- 2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 c. shredded medium cheddar cheese
- ¼ c. grated parmesan cheese
- 1 c. mayonnaise I don't recommend substituting for reduced-fat or fat-free mayo...it's just not the right consistency.
- 1 c. roughly chopped turkey pepperoni I think regular pepperoni makes this too greasy!
- ½ c. small diced onion
- ½ c. small diced green pepper
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small can 6.5 oz. mushroom stems and pieces, drained
- ¾ c. roughly chopped black olives
- ¼ c. roughly chopped green olives
- 1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
- ⅛ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ tsp. freshly ground black pepper plus a bit more cracked across the finished dip
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing well to incorporate. Spread into a baking dish - either a large rectangle up to a 9" x 13" size, or a large pie plate. Crack a bit more black pepper over the surface and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown. Sometimes I also place it under the broiler for a minute or two to get the top extra golden pretty. Serve with sturdy crackers or sliced & toasted baguettes.
Brenda, do you think it would work to substitute some greek yogurt for part of the mayo? Mayo doesn’t agree with me, but this looks devine!
I definitely think it would be worth a try, Kay. The flavor would be altered a bit. Let me know if you give it a try!
Forget the mayonnaise! 1 pkg cream cheese 4 oz sour cream. Mix them together with pizza seasoning and garlic powder. Spread evenly in dish top with pizza sauce 1/4 or to your liking, then pepperoni cut in quarters, then chopped onion and green pepper (any other pizza toppings you like). Bake @ 350 for 20 mins then top with mozzarella cheese and continue baking 10 mins or when cheese is melted
How about substituting sour cream for the mayo? My wife is against mayo for whatever reason, I have tried sneaking it in at times without success!
Hmmmm…I would be tempted to try some cream cheese. Please let me know what you come up with!
I tried this recipe in the crock pot and also turned out amazing! Big hit with everyone
