Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and well combined.

Evenly spread the marinara or pizza sauce over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the layer of cheese.
Add the diced green bell pepper and sliced black olives on top of the pepperoni, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the entire dish.
Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately with baguette slices, pita chips, or crackers.
