Place the cream cheese in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Mix in the oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

Transfer the mixture to a ceramic or glass 1-quart baking dish (such as a 9-inch pie plate). Spread it evenly with a rubber spatula.
Spread the pizza sauce on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Notes
Seasonings, especially salt, are guidelines. Adjust to taste.
Any 1-quart ceramic or glass baking dish will work in this recipe, but I almost always use a ceramic 9-inch pie plate. There's no need to grease the pan.
If you have any leftovers, you can keep them in the baking dish and allow them to cool. Wrap the baking dish tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. The leftovers will keep this way for up to 4 days. When it's time to reheat them, remove the plastic wrap and reheat them in the microwave at 50% power until the cheese is fully melted.
