Ingredients
14 oz refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce
20 pepperoni slices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or set aside a 9-inch pie plate.
Unroll pizza dough on a work surface. Cut out shapes to form a jack-o’-lantern face. Cut remaining dough into strips, roll into tubes, and tie into knots.
Spread cream cheese evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange dough knots in a ring on top of the cream cheese around the edges.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella over the cream cheese, then add parmesan cheese. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the top. Add remaining mozzarella.
Layer pepperoni slices to fully cover the cheese. Arrange the dough cutouts on top to create a jack-o’-lantern face.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until knots are golden brown and dip is bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Lighter option: Substitute light cream cheese and part-skim mozzarella.
Topping variations: Swap pepperoni for ham, mushrooms, or black olives.
