Hello there! Before I start, let me give you a disclaimer. I bet that by the end of this article, you will thank me in the comments section, because I am going to share a rich and buttery solution for all your pizzas, pasta, and chicken. Any guesses? It’s none other than the heavenly Little Caesars Garlic Dipping Sauce, guys!
I loved getting it when I used to go to Little Caesars. It was almost like I couldn’t imagine my pizza without this sauce. And you know what? I used to ask them to give me two or three containers of that garlic dipping sauce because it is so rich, garlicky, and delicious.
This brought me to a question. Why do I always miss Little Caesars’ goodness when I have ample options of garlic sauces to try out? It’s because of a secret ingredient they use: vinegar! Vinegar mellows down the oily kick, making the sauce all the more savory. And the flavors! They’re just out of this world.
This sauce has just the right amount of buttery goodness combined with a pungent kick of fresh garlic. Additionally, the mayonnaise makes it creamy and tangy, which goes perfectly with anything I dip into it. Speaking of which, this sauce is not just for Pizza lovers. Oh no, it’s the ultimate multitasker.
You can have it with breadsticks or drizzle it over roasted veggies. I also use it as a sneaky secret ingredient in pasta. But honestly! My favorite is dipping those crispy pizza crusts into it and savoring every last drop.
So folks! Here it is. Your favorite Little Caesars Garlic Dipping Sauce recipe. Now it’s your time to make it at home and enjoy it with literally anything.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- I usually add lemon juice gradually and taste the sauce as I go. This brightens up my sauce, giving it a tangy twist.
- I also incorporate freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Pecorino Romano into the sauce. This makes the cheese melt better and makes the sauce even more delicious.
- For a gourmet twist, I add a pinch of oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes to enhance the rich flavors of garlic and butter.
- I allow the sauce to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. It helps the flavors meld together.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets
- Vegan: To make this sauce fit for my vegan friends, I switch regular mayonnaise with vegan mayonnaise from brands like Hunter and Gather and Dr. Will’s. I also use vegan butter instead of regular butter.
- Gluten-Free: To make this sauce for my mother, who is gluten intolerant, I simply replaced regular mayonnaise with gluten-free brands like Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, and tada! A gluten-free garlic sauce was ready within a few minutes.
- Low-Sodium: I made a low-sodium version of this sauce by substituting mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt and melted butter with coconut oil. I also eliminated the salt and used salt-free blends like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or herbs of my choice to enhance the flavor without adding sodium.
Storing This Recipe
- Refrigerator: I transfer the sauce to an airtight container after making it. I always store the sauce in an airtight container or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. This helps prevent the sauce from absorbing other fridge odors. Then, I store the jar or container in the refrigerator, where it stays good for up to a week.
- Freezing: I consider freezing the sauce for longer storage. I use a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag to store the sauce. This way, the sauce can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. However, it should be noted that the sauce’s texture will change upon thawing.
What To Serve With This Recipe
This Little Caesars Garlic Dipping Sauce is so versatile that it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. The garlic flavor perfectly complements the cheesy Greggs Pizza, and Breadsticks are another favorite of mine.
They become all the more indulgent when I dip them into this garlic sauce. For a savory bite, I even have it alongside Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Chicken Wings. Moreover, I also serve it alongside Pork Chops, Fish Sticks, and French Fries.

I feel like this is missing the butter…. Which is in the name of the dip…. Shouldn’t it be an integral ingredient?
Hey lauren
That is the irony here it is all buttery because of the mayo used in the dip, instead of butter we simply put oil if you want you can go ahead with the butter in the recipe but as mentioned it is a Little Ceasars sauce you might not want to mess up with the ingredients to get the exact same taste.
Do you puree the ingredients to make it smooth?
Yes
No we do not puree the ingredients, we mix all ingredients to make the sauce.
Did this by the recipe and it tastes awful! ~DX I think something may be off in the recipe
Have you followed all the steps properly that I’ve mentioned in the recipe?
There’s no butter in garlic butter…?
