Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe baking dish.
Pour the marinara sauce on top of the cream cheese layer and gently spread it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and all of the shredded cheddar cheese as the third layer.
Top with pepperoni slices, chopped green bell pepper, and black olives to create the fourth layer.
Finish with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly distributed on top.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve warm with tortilla chips or breadsticks.
