Thanks a lot for this amazing recipe! So easy to make and tasted really delicious! Fam loves it, will have it again! Highly recommended!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
I liked how the garlic and herb brighten up this rich pizza. Very good.
Dip! My kids love the pizza flavors on everything! We serve ours with corn tortilla chips. Donāt judge. š
This was so crazy easy and my entire family loved it! My kids, who would never eat a white pizza, asked me to make more next time because we ate it up so fast.
This savory white pizza dip was absolutely amazing! I’m just salivating thinking about how good it was. When I make it again on Super Bowl Sunday this special dip will be the star of the show!
Can you make this ahead (a few hours) and then reheat just before serving? Would it get watery or hard? Have no means of baking at the tennis club where I’d like to take it, but there is a microwave.
Absolutely!
This sounds great. I posted a Pizza Dip recipe this week but it has the traditional red sauce. I might give this one a try next time for something different. Thanks for sharing.
