Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish or an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Spoon the pizza sauce over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza sauce.
Top with the pepperoni slices, diced green bell pepper, and sliced black olives.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with golden, melted cheese on top.
Carefully remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, breadsticks, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
