Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 mini pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Ghost Design
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese (for ghost shapes)
- 1 small black olive (sliced for eyes)
Mummy Design
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for layering strips)
- 1 small black olive (sliced for eyes)
Jack-o’-Lantern Design
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 orange bell pepper (cut into pumpkin face shapes)
Additional Toppings
- 12 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Pizza Bases: Arrange the mini pizza crusts evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Spread about two tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each crust to create a flavorful base.
- Create Ghost Pizzas: Cut ghost shapes from the mozzarella slices and place them on top of the sauce on some of the crusts. Add two small sliced black olive pieces on each ghost shape to form eyes, adding a spooky but cute touch.
- Make Mummy Pizzas: For the mummy design, take shredded mozzarella cheese and create criss-cross patterned strips over the sauce-covered crusts. Place sliced black olives as eyes to give your mummies character.
- Assemble Jack-o’-Lantern Pizzas: Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the remaining crusts. Arrange the orange bell pepper slices on top to mimic jack-o’-lantern faces, giving a bright and festive look to the mini pizzas.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and the edges of the crusts are golden and crisp.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the mini pizzas from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then serve warm. Enjoy these playful and delicious Halloween-themed mini pizzas with friends and family!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes before baking.
- Substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese to make a vegetarian or vegan version.
- If using homemade dough, ensure it is rolled out evenly to maintain consistent cooking.
- Make sure to slice olives thinly for better placement as eyes.
- These mini pizzas can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Customize toppings according to dietary preferences or restrictions.
