I don’t know about you but to me, there are few things better than pizza, and other foods that taste like pizza! It’s probably the world’s most perfect food. For this recipe, I’ve taken all of the most recognizable flavors and added them to a dip to enjoy with crispy crostini made out of King’s Hawaiian Rolls. Of course you could use any type of crostini or cracker to dip, but the sweetness that the Hawaiian Roll lends is a perfect compliment to the flavors of the pizza dip and provides you with that pizza crust feel. 

Let’s Prep:

Simply mix all of the ingredients together in a skillet (I used an 8″ skillet) as it holds this amount of ingredients perfectly. Lay down your cream cheese base then sauce, and shredded cheese with seasoning. Additionally I cooked extra pepperonis in a tin foil boat in the oven with these. This is optional, however I like my pepperonis crispy and plentiful the best way to do that is to cover the top of the dip with pepperonis before they cook and when they shrink down while cooking you’ll have plenty of room to pile on additional crispy pepperonis before serving. 

Let’s cook:

Pro tip: Cook everything at the same time! This expedites the process and gets you eating faster. Below is a shot of my oven while I was cooking this recipe.

Let’s eat:

Once everything has cooked all the way remove from the oven to begin to let the dip cool down. It’s going to be EXTREMELY hot, it’ll be tempting, but don’t burn your mouth. Now is the time to take the crostini off of the baking sheet and slice up your basil garnish to put on top.
