Ghostly and Ghoulish Halloween Pizza

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh mozzarella slices (cut into ghost shapes)
  • Black olives (for spiders)
  • Pepperoni slices (for pumpkins)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • Fresh basil or spinach (for garnish, optional)
  • Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  • Prepare the Pizza Dough:
    • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal. Shape it into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape (you can even make it in the shape of a pumpkin for extra Halloween fun).
  • Add the Sauce:
    • Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Decorate with Cheese and Toppings:
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
    • Cut fresh mozzarella slices into ghost shapes using a small knife or cookie cutters. Place them on top of the shredded cheese.
    • To make spiders, cut black olives in half for the body and slice thin strips for the legs. Arrange them on the pizza to create spiders.
    • Add pepperoni slices, and use a small knife to carve jack-o’-lantern faces for “pumpkin” decorations.
  • Bake:
    • Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve:
    • Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh basil or spinach if desired, then slice and serve while hot.
