Notes

Pepperoni: If you want to make this with original-size pepperoni instead of mini pepperoni, you will need 12 to 14 slices, but I highly recommend cutting them up into pieces. The larger the pieces of pepperoni, the harder it is to scoop up with your bread.
Add more toppings. Whatever toppings work well on a pizza will work wonderfully on this dip. If you’re using any meat, make sure they are pre-cooked.
No Italian seasoning? No worries. It's a nice touch that adds some more pizza-y flavor to the dip, but if you don't have any, this will still taste fabulous.
