Halloween Pizzas

Fun and festive Halloween pizzas, making mummies or Jack O Lanterns with pizza for a Halloween dinner.
Author: Rachael

Ingredients

  • Store-bought pizza dough
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni slices
  • Black olives
  • Cheddar cheese slices
  • Green bell pepper optional
  • Red bell pepper optional
  • Pizza toppings of your choice optional

Instructions

  • 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.

Bake the Pizzas

  • Place the pizzas on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake according to the pizza dough package instructions, usually around 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with a side of spooky salad or Halloween-themed snacks for a complete festive meal.
