Ingredients needed

Here’s everything that goes into my supreme pizza dip:

Olive oil

Olive oil is an optional addition at the base of your dip, though I recommend adding it! It helps prevent sticking and adds extra fat content.

Low-carb vegetables

Feel free to use any low-carb vegetables you prefer to top this dip. For a classic supreme pizza dip, I chose diced red onion, sliced mushrooms, diced green peppers, and sliced black olives.

Pepperoni and sausage

Pepperoni slices and crumbled Italian sausage add protein content and a ton of delicious flavor to this dip.

Other yummy options include diced ham and sugar-free bacon.

Tomato sauce

The secret to a fabulous pizza dip is topping your cheesy base with marinara sauce. This gives your dip that quintessential pizza flavor!

Use a sugar-free pizza sauce to ensure it’s keto-friendly. I recommend using a homemade recipe like my keto pizza sauce for the best flavor and lowest carb count.

Mayonnaise

For an extra creamy base, I add mayonnaise to my dip. The added fat content is just a bonus!

Cheese blend

Cheese is the true star of this recipe, including brick-style cream cheese, shredded parmesan, and mozzarella cheese.

You can experiment with different varieties like gouda, cheddar, ricotta, and blue cheese for an interesting twist.

Seasoning

To season this dip, I use garlic powder, oregano, and a bit of salt to bring all of the flavors together.

Alternatively, you could use Italian seasoning.

Cooking tips

For the right texture, ensure you soften your cream cheese before mixing.
Adjust the baking time based on your oven. You’ll know your dip is ready to enjoy when the cheese is lightly golden brown.
To enjoy a leftover dip, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave. It’ll keep for up to three days.
