Take an 8-ounce block of cream cheese and place it in a pie plate.

Smoosh the cream cheese until it's flat on the bottom.

Chop vegetables into small pieces, not huge but enough to be noticeable.

Microwave the cream cheese for about 10 seconds to warm it up if desired.

Top the cream cheese with Italian seasoning or oregano.

Add tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes to the cream cheese.

Sprinkle garlic or garlic salt over the mixture.

Top with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Add chopped pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Place the dish in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes.

Check for doneness when it's bubbly and you can smell it.

Warm pitas in the oven for the last 2-3 minutes before serving.

Serve the dip with pitas, crackers, or flatbreads.
