  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese melts beautifully over toppings
  • 1/2 cup provolone cheese for extra stretch
  • 50 g pepperoni slices for creepy eyes and mouths
  • 1/4 cup black olives canned, sliced for spooky faces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes whole or halved for bright accents
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers sliced, colorful for decoration
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced for texture and contrast
  • 1 red onion red onion sliced for color and crunch
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing crust

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place your baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out your pizza dough to about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter, aiming for an even thickness.
  3. Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a floured pizza peel for easy movement, then slide it onto the preheated baking sheet or stone.
  4. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella and provolone cheese generously over the sauce, covering the entire surface.
  6. Arrange slices of pepperoni, black olives, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onions on top to create spooky faces or shapes—get creative with your design!
  7. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the crust edges with olive oil for a shiny, crispy finish.
  8. Carefully slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly, making it easier to slice.
  10. Use a sharp pizza cutter or knife to slice the pizza into squares or wedges, revealing the colorful, spooky toppings inside.
  11. Serve your spooky Halloween pizza slices hot, and enjoy the chaos and fun of this festive dish!

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your toppings—use different vegetables or candies to enhance the spooky effect. Keep an eye on your oven to prevent burning, especially around the edges. This pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for maximum gooey cheese and crispy crust.
