Made two of these for a party - made one as written and the other omitted the pepperoni and subbed black olives and mushrooms. Both were fantastic!

Yummy! What a delicious dip! I prepared 1/2 of the recipe using red bell pepper as this is what I had on hand. Oh my, pizza on a chip :) I made my own chips using tortillas and they were just right with this dip. Perfect tasty pizza dip! Loved the flavor and it satisfied the pizza craving I had. Looking forward to trying it with breadsticks. A keeper and will definitely share. Thanks lazyme!

Seeing a recent review of this recipe, I clicked on it because it sounded interesting, and ... oops! ... realized I'd made it months ago and apparently never reviewed. (Sorry for the senior moment, lazyme!) I couldn't agree more that this is a sure-fire hit with any crowd. I made some herbed breadsticks and used Sam's Club's wonderful pizza sauce recipe (#114392). My guys devoured it!

Truly excellent hot dip that is rich and creamy and sinful! I served with sliced baguettes because I didn't have any breadsticks on hand.
