Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil or spray a 9-inch oven-safe skillet, pie pan, or shallow baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon dried basil. Beat or stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer in the prepared 9-inch dish.
  4. Divide 1 cup shredded mozzarella and 1 cup Parmesan cheese each into two equal portions (two 1/2-cup portions of each). Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Spoon 1 cup pizza sauce over the cheese layer and spread gently to cover.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan evenly over the pizza sauce.
  7. Evenly distribute 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced onion, 2 ounces sliced pepperoni, and 2 tablespoons sliced black olives over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheeses are fully melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let sit a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Notes
If you are short on time, layer the ingredients in a microwave-safe dish. Cover the dish and place into the microwave for 5 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and the dip is heated through.
Feel free to make this dip with your personal favorite pizza toppings.
For an added kick, try sprinkling a little bit of Italian seasoning and/or crushed red pepper flakes on top of the dip.
