Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
Mini pizza crusts or English muffins – great as mini bases; you can also use small tortillas or biscuit dough.
Pizza sauce – homemade or store-bought; add Italian herbs for extra flavor.
Shredded mozzarella cheese – melts perfectly; mix in cheddar for an orange hue.
Olive oil – a light brush makes the crust golden and crispy.
Spooky Toppings:
Sliced black olives – use for eyes or spider shapes.
Mini pepperoni – perfect for faces or pumpkin details.
Bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow) – slice for monster mouths or mummy wraps.
String cheese – peel into strips for mummy designs.
Cherry tomatoes – halved for eyes or creepy pupils.
Fresh basil leaves – optional for garnish.
Optional Add-ons:
Crushed red pepper flakes – adds mild heat.
Italian seasoning – for extra flavor.
Grated Parmesan – sprinkle on top before serving.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare your crusts. Lay out the mini pizza bases or flattened biscuit dough.
Spread the sauce evenly over each base, leaving a small edge around the rim.
Add cheese – sprinkle mozzarella (or mozzarella-cheddar mix) generously.
Decorate! Create spooky faces using your toppings — olives for eyes, string cheese for mummies, bell peppers for mouths, and pepperoni for pumpkin smiles.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Cool and serve. Let pizzas cool slightly before serving warm. Garnish with basil or Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Make-ahead option: Assemble pizzas up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
Freezer-friendly: Freeze baked pizzas for up to 2 months. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
Kid tip: Set up a “pizza decorating bar” — kids love creating their own designs!
