3. Mix Cream Cheese: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
4. Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the cream cheese layer.
6. Add Jalapeños: Distribute the sliced jalapeños evenly across the top of the cheese.
7. Add Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the jalapeños for added flavor.
8. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza to enhance browning.
9. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
