Halloween Mini Pizzas

Halloween Mini Pizzas

These Halloween Mini Pizzas are small, crispy-edged rounds topped with bright pizza sauce and cute cheese jack-o'-lantern cutouts, with optional mini pepperoni and olive "eyes." Bake the bases briefly and add the cheese shapes at the end so the faces stay intact—perfect for a kid-friendly Halloween party.

Equipment

  • Halloween cookie cuttersabout 2 inches across in size

Ingredients

  • 13.8 ounces pizza dough one roll refrigerated, can also use homemade see notes
  • 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce or any red pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni optional
  • 2 tablespoons black olives
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices colby cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough until flat, then use a round cookie cutter or a bowl slightly larger than your cutters to cut ten circles; re-roll any scrap dough as needed.
  3. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto each dough circle and add mini pepperoni if desired.
  4. Bake the sauced dough for 10 minutes, or until the edges have just started to brown; do not add cheese yet.
  5. While the dough bakes, use cookie cutters to cut Halloween shapes from the mozzarella and Colby cheese slices.
  6. Remove the mini pizzas from the oven and place the cheese cutouts onto each pizza, then add black olives as eyes if desired.
  7. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for about 2 minutes, until the cheese has just melted.

Notes

Nutrition information is an estimate and is calculated without pepperoni.
Adding the cheese at the very end of the cooking time helps it to keep the cute Halloween shape while still being melty. I don’t recommend adding the cheese at the beginning of cooking because you may lose the shape from the cookie cutter.
Cut a face out of the pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern if you like, or you can use olives to make the face.
