Italians traditionally don’t use dipping sauces for pizza, as the focus is on high-quality ingredients and flavorful crust. Dipping is more common in American-style pizza culture, where bold flavors and customization are popular.
Pizza pairs well with a variety of dips like garlic butter, ranch, marinara, buffalo sauce, and creamy garlic. For something different, try pesto, barbecue sauce, or even a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet and spicy twist.
Helpful Tips for Making No-Cook Pizza Dipping Sauce
Use full-fat mayo: It gives the sauce a richer texture and better flavor than low-fat versions.
Balance the sweetness: Taste the sauce and adjust with a dash of vinegar if it’s too sweet from the ketchup.
Whisk until smooth: Make sure all ingredients are fully blended for a creamy, lump-free consistency.
Let it chill: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Storing Tips
Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving.
Freezer: It’s best not to freeze this sauce if it contains mayonnaise, as it can separate and become grainy when thawed.

I've never used dipping sauces for pizza, but it does sound good ~ pinned! I'm visiting from Inspire Me Monday.
Lois says
We only started using them but really enjoying having a little something to dip the pizza crust in! Thanks for visiting.
Susan Gibson says
I was looking for a homemade honey mustard dipping sauce.
Val Fassett says
The Ranch dipping sauce and the Fry dipping sauce don’t say anything about cooking them, but at the top of the recipes it says 10 minute cooking time. I don’t understand this.
Lois says
The cooking time refers to prep time. That's how long it should take you to put the recipe together. There is no cooking involved. Thank you for visiting.
Kristi says
