Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll store-bought or homemade pizza dough should not be too thick
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce for spreading on the dough
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, for topping and filling
  • 50 g pepperoni slices or salami for spooky faces
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced for eyes and mouth
  • 1 green pepper green pepper sliced for decoration
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing the crust
  • to taste seasonings oregano, red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Sharp knife or cookie cutter
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
  2. Unroll your pizza dough onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to flatten it to about 0.5 cm thick—aim for a slightly irregular shape for a rustic look.
  3. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, creating a base for your spooky faces and toppings.
  5. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out eyes, mouths, and other shapes from slices of pepperoni or salami, then arrange them on the cheese to form scary faces.
  6. Place sliced black olives and green peppers on the pizza to serve as eyes, mouths, or other creepy accents.
  7. Brush the crust edges with olive oil using a pastry brush to help achieve a glossy, crispy finish.
  8. Transfer the assembled pizza onto a preheated baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes—this helps the cheese set slightly and makes slicing easier.
  10. Slice the pizza into pieces, revealing the melted cheese and spooky toppings, and serve hot for a fun Halloween feast.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your toppings—use cherry tomatoes for eyes or mushrooms for spooky hair! The key is to have fun with the decorations and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
