Pizza is typically served hot out of the oven, but the flavors of cold pizza have their own charm. Rather than warming up a slice of leftover pizza, try something different by making a cold pizza dip. A cheese-based dip is the most common variation and is incredibly easy to make. In addition to the creamy base, you can add in various toppings to customize the dip to your liking. Here are a few recipes to help you make the best cold pizza dip.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (I used a glass Pyrex) with cooking spray.
- Using a spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese over the base of pie dish. It'll slide around a bit and it doesn't have to be perfect, but it's so much easier if your cream cheese is very well-softened.
- Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over cream cheese.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
- Evenly add the pizza sauce to cover cheese and if necessary, gently spread it with a spatula or knife to evenly disperse.
- Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella over sauce.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan.
- Evenly top with pepperoni slices.
- Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes (I baked 23 minutes), or until cheese has melted and dip is done to your liking. Allow dip to cool momentarily before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Dust a work surface with flour to keep the dough from sticking. Divide each dough ball into 12 equal-size pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope and twist into a knot. Arrange the knots around the edge of a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan, leaving 1/4 inch between each. Use the remaining knots to form 2 lines to divide the pan into 3 sections widthwise. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the garlic oil. Combine the butter, olive oil, parsley, garlic powder, fresh garlic and 2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
- Brush the knots with about 1/4 cup of the garlic oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until just starting to brown, about 20 minutes. (The knots won't be fully baked.) Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, 1 cup mozzarella, the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and 6 tablespoons of the garlic oil in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and combined, about 3 minutes.
- Make the dips in the pan of half-baked knots. Divide the marinara sauce evenly between the far left and far right sections. Sprinkle half of the pepperoni over the right-hand section. Sprinkle half of the peppers and onions over the left-hand section. Then dollop and spread two-thirds of the ricotta mixture in the center section. Divide the remaining ricotta mixture between the right and left sections, dolloping it over the sauce and gently spreading with the back of a spoon or small offset spatula. Divide the remaining cup mozzarella between the far right and far left sections, sprinkling it on. Top the far right section with the remaining pepperoni and the far left section with the remaining peppers, onions and olives. Bake until the knots are golden and the dips are bubbling and lightly browned, 20 to 25 more minutes.
- Brush the knots with the remaining garlic oil and sprinkle the fresh basil over the center section.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the pizza sauce: Add the olive oil to a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and, when hot, add the onion. Saute until translucent. Add the garlic and red chile flakes, cook for 1 minute, and then add the canned tomatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the mixture has thickened, stir in the fresh and dried spices. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Remove from the heat.
- For the bottom layer: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, garlic and spices. Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe casserole (2-quart capacity or a 9-inch pie pan). Set aside.
- For the toppings: In a small saute pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the pepperoni. Saute until the pepperoni is just crisp, 4 to 5 minutes, and then drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining olive oil and the red bell peppers and saute over medium-high heat until just starting to soften. Add the shallot, cook for 2 minutes, and then add the mushrooms. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes and remove from the heat.
- To assemble: Spread the pizza sauce over the top of the bottom layer of cheese, sprinkle with the pepper and mushroom mixture, and then the pepperoni. Evenly distribute the mozzarella over the top and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Garnish with the basil sprig and serve hot with pizza dough strips, toasted pita strips, or crackers.
