Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 8 mini pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Sauce and Cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese (for ghost shapes)
Toppings
- 12 slices pepperoni
- 1 small black olive, sliced (for eyes)
- 1 orange bell pepper, cut into pumpkin shapes
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Prepare the Pizza Bases: Arrange the 8 mini pizza crusts evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on each crust to create the pizza base.
- Create Ghost Pizzas: For ghost-shaped pizzas, carefully cut ghost shapes out of the mozzarella slices using a small knife. Place one ghost shape on top of the sauce on each pizza. Add black olive slices as eyes for a spooky effect.
- Make Mummy Pizzas: For the mummy design, tear or cut mozzarella slices into thin strips. Layer these strips criss-cross over the sauce on the crust to mimic mummy wrappings. Add two black olive slices for the eyes.
- Assemble Jack-o’-Lantern Pizzas: For jack-o’-lantern pizzas, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Arrange the orange bell pepper pieces on top in the shape of a pumpkin face to create a festive look.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the crust turns golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm for a delicious and spooky Halloween treat that everyone will love!
Notes
- Feel free to customize your mini pizzas with any toppings of your choice such as mushrooms, olives, or peppers.
- Using cookie cutters can make shaping the cheese or veggies into fun Halloween designs even easier and more precise.
- This activity is perfect for kids to participate in assembling their own spooky pizzas, making it a fun family project.
- If you do not have mini pizza crusts, you can use regular pizza dough and cut it into smaller rounds.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the mini crusts for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
