Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Beat the mixture with a spoon or handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, hot sauce, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Gently fold the chopped artichoke hearts into the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges. If you want extra browning on top, broil for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
