This pizza dip is a decadent dip that will be the hit of any gathering. Adapt the pizza flavors to make it your own!
Recipe Ingredients
- My pizza dip is a fun change from other party dips
- Gooey mozzarella, zesty sauce, and pepperoni in every scoop
- Dump, cook, and walk away; the slow cooker does all the work.
Key Ingredients
- Marinara Sauce: I used Prego pizza sauce but any brand works.
- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese blends best and makes the dip ultra creamy.
- Sour Cream: Helps smooth out the cream cheese for a silky texture.
- Mozzarella: Freshly shredded melts better—avoid pre-shredded if possible.
- Pepperoni: Mini pepperoni is ideal, or cut regular slices into quarters. Turkey pepperoni works too!
- Seasonings: Basil, oregano, and garlic powder give it that classic pizza flavor.
How to Make Pizza Dip in the Crockpot
- Mix the creamy base – Blend together the cheesy, herbed goodness.
- Layer it up – Add everything to the slow cooker just like you’re building a pizza.
- Let it melt – Cover and cook until it’s hot, cheesy, and ready to impress.
How to serve Crockpot Pizza Dip
- Keep the dip warm in the slow cooker during your party or potluck. If needed, you can stir the dip if it starts to separate.
- Serve this dip with breadsticks, garlic knots, crostini, or tortilla chips. For a lighter option, try carrot sticks or bell pepper strips.
- If you love crockpot pizza recipes, try my slow cooker deep dish pizza, white pizza dip, and crockpot pizza chicken.
Sarah’s Tips & Variations
- Add meat: To make this crock pot pizza dip a bit more heartier, consider adding beef, turkey, or Italian sausage.
- Supreme pizza dip: Go all out and make this pizza dip supreme by adding black olives, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, chopped green bell peppers, onions, and extra cheese.
- Hawaiian pizza dip: In addition to adding meat like ham or bacon, top it off with chopped pineapple.
- Add a liner to your slow cooker for easier cleanup.
- Mayonnaise can be used in place of sour cream.

I made this tonight for a Bible study group and everyone loved it. I knew it would taste good but I didn’t know how good! I used Raos Italian sausage and Mushroom sauce instead of traditional pizza sauce just to give it a little meaty flavor and threw in some onion powder too. Thanks for a great recipe, it is definitely a keeper!

Is it possible to bake this?
Yes, I have not tested with timing but that would work great.
If I double this recipe do I need to extend the cooking time?
You may need an extra 30 minutes or so, not too much longer.
Do you recommend a time and temp? Also a size of pan?
No, I have not tested, I apologize. Just a guess I would think about 20 minutes at 350 degrees in a 8×8 pan.
