Really good. Used only about 1/3 cup of the sour cream . Added a little of the shredded cheese on top of the cream cheese mixture then sauce, pepperoni and peppers. Then more shredded cheese. (used a pizza blend cheese and more than the 1/2 cup as recipe calls for as we like it cheesy.

This quick recipe is a great gluten-free alternative to pizza. Serve with gluten free crackers.

I have made this several times and it has always been a hit! I don't care for pepperoni so I put on favorite toppings like mushrooms and/or black olives. Also to save time, I add a teaspoon or so of dried minced onion to the cream cheese instead of bothering to buy and slice green onions.

Great flavor. I mix all ingredients together rather than layer and then top with extra cheese.Very good.
