Game Day Pepperoni Pizza Dip #SundaySupper

By 27 Comments

pepperoni pizza dip #sundaysupper At our home, The Big Game is almost a national holiday. I can honestly say that I don’t remember ever missing this event and my boys look forward to it almost as much as Christmas.  On those years that our favorite team is in the game– forget about it!

They will admit that not only are they excited about the game, but the game day menu is pretty high on their list! All the rules are broken at our house when it comes to Game Day– we don’t worry about a balanced meal and we don’t worry about sitting around the family table in the kitchen. The family room takes center stage and we enjoy Sunday Supper around the family coffee table.

Part of the fun is coming up with great recipes for us to share with our family and friends. There is one item that has been on our Game Day Menu for as long as I can remember. It is truly our family’s Signature Game Day Dish — Pepperoni Pizza Dip.  So easy to make, so fun to share and so delicious!

Every great recipe needs to be paired with a great wine. I was thrilled when Gallo Family Vineyards  recently sent me their Red Moscato to try. It was the perfect pairings for this cheesy and slightly spicy Pepperoni Pizza Dip. I loved it because it’s not too sweet and it’s not to tangy. It is light, a tad fruity and so refreshing. It’s great for an afternoon get-together with friends because it pairs well with appetizers like this Pepperoni Pizza Dip, but it also pairs nicely with lighter options like fruit and salads.

This year, we will be serving Gallo Family Vineyards Red Moscato at our Super Bowl Party. If you are looking for more great Game Day Pairings, you can Gallo Family Vineyards website or connect with via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube for great suggestions.

  1. I can only imagine what fun is happening at your home on the big game day. You are such a football family and, of course, foodie family so awesome eats are in order. This dip sure does look like it would be one of those awesome eats for sure.

  17. Haha, “we don’t worry about a balanced meal.” The perfect way to describe what happens in almost everybody’s home on game day! But I mean, in this recipe, you have a bit of meat, some dairy, and even some vegetables 😉 This looks sooooo good. And balanced. hehe.

  19. Isabel, this dip is absolutely drool-worthy! The Red Moscato is a tasty pairing with this, and I suspect Gallo’s Merlot would be really good with this too!
