Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, lump crab meat, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve warm with slices of crusty bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
