Pizza anything and I'm in heaven. Yes, indeed, that's a meal!

This looks amazing!
That looks amazing! It's a great twist on pizza!
I am going to make this, but I am going to use finely crumbled Italian sausage instead of the bacon. Can't wait.
I have made this dip a bunch of times….a huge hit. It is always requested…and devoured! I add red pepper flakes, oregano and dry Italian dressing mix to the cream cheese layer…then sauce, then a layer of crumbled sausage, cheese and pepperoni. The crumbled Italian sausage is the hidden surprise. Bread for dipping is always key. 🙂 You can add whatever topping you like on your pizza…the bottom base layer is great.
Just made the pizza dip!!!! Big hit at our home!!!!
I make this using pizza sauce instead of tomatoes…really good!
Thanks for saying you used pizza sauce & it was still good. I am always looking for short cuts.
Just made this! So yummy!

Can you make ahead and freeze?
Try adding ricotta cheese to the base layer. It is awesome!
Can this be made in slow cooker?
I fixed this last night for the College National Championship game. It was a huge hit and everybody wanted the recipe. The only thing I did different was that a added 1 tsp. of Italian seasoning and 1 tsp. of minced garlic to the cream cheese mixture. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. GO DAWGS!
This dip is what dominoes new dips wish it was! This is amazing, flavorful and so much better than the half inch of dip you get at dominoes. Making it at home from now on!
