Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough if preferred
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce smooth and bright flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for gooey melting
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives for eyes and decorations
  • 50 grams pepperoni slices for creepy mouths and accents
  • 1 bell pepper colorful bell pepper for additional spooky decorations
  • 1 clove garlic powder for flavor
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust

Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet, using a rolling pin to gently stretch it out into an even circle or rectangle, aiming for about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, covering the surface generously for a gooey cheese layer.
  5. Use sliced olives to create spooky eyes—place two small circles on the pizza, and add tiny olive slices inside for pupils.
  6. Arrange slices of pepperoni to form creepy mouths or fanged grins, spreading them out in fun, irregular patterns.
  7. Add slices of colorful bell pepper or other toppings to create extra spooky details, like hair or scarier decorations.
  8. Brush the exposed crust edges lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor and color.
  9. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes—this helps the toppings set slightly and makes slicing easier.
  11. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into pieces, revealing the cheesy, spooky layers inside.
  12. Serve your spooky Halloween pizza warm, and enjoy the playful, delicious feast with everyone!
