Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 package of mini pizza crusts (or English muffins, bagels, or flatbread rounds)
Sauce & Cheese
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Decorations & Toppings
- Black olives, sliced (for spider or ghost eyes)
- Pepperoni slices (for jack-o’-lantern faces)
- Red and yellow bell pepper, cut into small shapes (for monster mouths or pumpkin stems)
- Optional toppings: sliced mushrooms, green bell peppers, fresh basil
- Optional Halloween-themed cookie cutters for shaping toppings
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Place the mini pizza crusts evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over each crust base, ensuring even coverage. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.
- Decorate with Halloween Designs: Use black olives or thinly sliced peppers to create spider web designs on some pizzas. Cut mozzarella cheese into ghost shapes for others, adding black olives for eyes. Use pepperoni slices to create jack-o’-lantern faces, and add red and yellow bell pepper pieces as monster mouths or pumpkin stems. Optionally, use sliced mushrooms, green bell peppers, or fresh basil to add more festive flair.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the mini pizzas for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the crusts are crisp to the touch.
- Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack or plate. Serve warm and enjoy your spooky, fun Halloween mini pizzas with family and friends.
Notes
- You can substitute mini pizza crusts with English muffins, bagels, or flatbread rounds depending on availability or preference.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite pizza ingredients, such as mushrooms, green peppers, or fresh herbs.
- If you want perfectly shaped toppings, use Halloween-themed cookie cutters for cheese, pepperoni, or vegetables.
- Watch the pizzas closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning, especially if using thinner crusts.
- These mini pizzas are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or toaster oven.
