Pizza dip just got a serious upgrade. This Pull-Apart Pepperoni Pizza Dip is surrounded by golden, garlicky rolls and loaded in the middle with creamy cheese, rich marinara, melty mozzarella, and crispy pepperoni cups. It’s the kind of party food that gets people hovering by the skillet.
It’s perfect for when you want something fun and filling without having to make an actual pizza. You get the same saucy, cheesy payoff with way less effort. And the pull-apart rolls? Built-in dippers. No extra sides needed.
Helpful Tips
- Thaw your dough properly: Frozen roll dough needs time to thaw and rise, so leave yourself enough time for that step.
- Use the right pan: A cast iron skillet or heavy oven-safe pan gives the rolls that crispy bottom while keeping the dip warm.
- Don’t skimp on the garlic butter: Brushing the rolls before baking gives them flavor and helps them brown perfectly.
