Make pizza fun with these Mini Halloween Pizzas. The kids will love making these spooky pizzas using premade pizza dough, marinara sauce, cheese, olives, pepperoni and anything else you like!
With Halloween just over a week away, I thought these Mini Halloween Pizzas would be a great idea to add to the Halloween recipe box. It’s a great time to be creative and dress up food like the Easy Halloween Guacamole, Halloween Macaroni and Cheese, the Mummy Sausage Rolls and much more. Have you checked out the Halloween Snack Board yet?
About the Mini Halloween Pizzas
- Easy to make โ Because this pizza used premade or store bought dough, it becomes a quick and easy fun idea to make quickly.
- Get the kids involved โ If you have kids or you’re going to be with kids through Halloween, these are a fun way for the kids to get involved in the kitchen.
- Use your own creativity โ The great thing about these mini pizzas, is that you can create them exactly how you would like to. You can follow my instructions or create them using your very own style.
Ingredients
- 12 oz pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices pepperoni
- 1/4 cup black olives
- 1/4 cup stuffed green olives
REMEMBER, the full recipe and instructions is always found at the end of the post in the recipe card.
Instructions
- Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 375 degrees f/190 degrees c. Have ready a large baking tray.
- Roll and cut pizza dough – Roll out the pizza dough to a large circle about 12 to 14 inches in diameter. Using a 4 inch diameter circle cutter (you can use a glass, bowl, or anything), Cut out 8 circles. You may need to re roll the dough to cut all your circles.
- Arrange on baking tray – Place all the pizza dough circles on the baking tray. Top each one with marinara sauce.
Make pumpkin pizzas
- Sprinkle over shredded mozzarella cheese. Cut pepperoni into triangles for the eyes. And use another pepperoni slice to cut out a mouth.
Make ghost pizzas
- Cut a ghost shape out of the mozzarella cheese. Place the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza. Top with slices of black olives for the eyes.
Make mummy pizzas
- Cut the sliced mozzarella cheese into strips. Arrange strips over the mini pizza to look like a mummy. Slice open the stuffed green olives and use those for the eyes.
Make spider pizzas
- Sprinkle over shredded mozzarella cheese. Cut black olives in half. Keep one half whole and cut the other half into little strips. Make spiders on the pizza using black olives.
- Cook pizzas – Bake pizzas between 10 – 12 minutes or until the base is crisp and cheese if fully melted.
- Serve – Serve hot or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips
- Prep ahead ingredients – If you plan to make these with kids, I recommend getting everything prepped before hand. Cut the olives, slice the cheese and cut out the pepperoni. It will make it much easier.
- Prep ahead pizza circles – You can even prep ahead the pizza circles and store them in the fridge up to a few hours before using them.
Substitutions
- Pizza dough – You can make your own PIzza Dough or use store bought pizza dough for this recipe. Just keep in mind this recipe does not include the time for making pizza dough.
- Pizza sauce – Any kind of Marinara Sauce will work for this recipe. If you like you can even try the Alfredo Sauce for pizza.
- Pizza toppings – I used mozzarella cheese but Gouda, Havarti or even Cheddar cheese will work.
- Pizza size – You can easily make these bigger if you like. I make 8 4-inch pizzas, but you can make them 6-inch if you like. As well, feel free to double or triple the recipe to suit your needs. In the recipe card below you can easily adjust the serving size.
Serving the Pizza
- Lunch idea – These are great to serve any time through October for a kids’ lunch.
- Sleepover party – If your kids are having a sleep over party, these mini pizzas are a great dinner or snack idea to make together.
- As part of a Halloween buffet – Yes, pizza is best hot, but these can be served at room temperature. They would look great as part of a Halloween spread.
