Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara layer.
Add your pizza toppings such as pepperoni slices, black olives, and diced green bell pepper evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm with breadsticks, crackers, or tortilla chips for dipping.
