Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven according to the store-bought pizza dough instructions. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and shape it into individual pizza rounds or one large pizza, depending on your preference.
Add the Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Mummy Pizzas:
Create the Mummy Bandages: Place shredded mozzarella cheese in horizontal stripes across the pizza, leaving gaps for the "eyes."
Add the Eyes: Cut black olives in half and place them in pairs on each pizza to create the mummy eyes.
Finish the Bandages: Add more mozzarella cheese strips, slightly overlapping them to create a wrapped effect, making sure not to cover the eyes completely.
Jack O' Lantern Pizzas:
Shape the Face: Use slices of pepperoni or bell peppers to create the Jack O' Lantern face on the pizza. Place them to form the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Add the Stem: Cut a small piece of green bell pepper and place it at the top of the pizza to resemble the stem of a pumpkin.
Cheddar Cheese Coating: Cover the rest of the pizza with slices of cheddar cheese to give it a vibrant orange color.
