Pull-Apart Pepperoni Pizza Dip
If you love pepperoni pizza but want something more snackable for a party or game day, this Pull-Apart Pepperoni Pizza Dip is the move. Soft, golden rolls circle a bubbling hot skillet of marinara, cream cheese, gooey mozzarella, and crispy pepperoni cups. It’s made for tearing, dipping, and going back for more.

This is a great one-pan appetizer that hits all the comfort food notes without being a hassle to make. Using frozen roll dough keeps things easy, and the mix of creamy, cheesy dip with crisped-up pepperoni delivers big pizza flavor in a format made for sharing. Serve it hot and watch it disappear fast.
Helpful Tips
- Thaw dough ahead of time: Frozen roll dough needs time to thaw and rise, so plan ahead and let it sit out overnight or according to the package.
- Use a cast iron skillet: It holds heat well and helps the rolls get golden on the bottom while the dip stays hot and bubbly.
- Layer the dip: For the best texture and flavor, spread the marinara first, then dollop the cream cheese mixture, and finish with cheese and pepperoni.
