The image shows four small round pizzas on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. Each pizza has a golden-brown crust with a layer of melted cheese and reddish tomato sauce underneath. Three of the pizzas have pizza toppings arranged to look like spooky skull faces made from black olives for eyes and mouth details. The fourth pizza looks like a pumpkin face with two pepperoni slices as eyes, a small pepperoni triangle as a nose, and a pepperoni curved smile; it also has a small green leaf shaped like a pumpkin stem at the top edge. The cheese appears bubbly and slightly toasted in places. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 mini pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 slices mozzarella cheese (for ghost shapes)
12 slices pepperoni
1 small black olive (sliced for eyes)
1 orange bell pepper (cut into pumpkin shapes)

Step 2: Place mini pizza crusts on the prepared baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
Step 3: For ghost pizzas, cut ghost shapes from mozzarella slices and place on top of the sauce. Add olive pieces for eyes.
Step 4: For mummy pizzas, layer strips of mozzarella cheese over the sauce in a criss-cross pattern. Add olive slices for eyes.
Step 5: For jack-o’-lantern pizzas, top with shredded cheese and arrange bell pepper slices into pumpkin faces.
Step 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
Step 7: Serve warm and enjoy your spooky Halloween treat!

Tips & Variations

Use your favorite pizza toppings like sausage or veggies to customize each mini pizza.
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the mini crusts for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
Try black olives or olives stuffed with pimentos for extra eye details.
Make the pumpkin shapes by cutting the bell pepper into triangles and curved strips to mimic a jack-o’-lantern face.

Storage

Store leftover mini pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispness. Microwaving is faster but may soften the crust.

How to Serve

Four small round pizzas sit on a white plate with a white marbled texture beneath. Each pizza has a golden-brown crust and is topped with melted cheese covering a layer of red tomato sauce. The pizzas are decorated to look like smiling Halloween skull faces using black olive slices for eyes and various shapes cut out of cheese or pepperoni for mouths and noses. Two of the pizzas have a single green basil leaf on top, adding a touch of green. The texture of the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, creating a warm and playful look.
