You only need a few simple ingredients for these little pizzas.
- pizza dough one roll refrigerated, can also use homemade see notes
- pizza sauce or any red pasta sauce
- mini pepperoni optional
- black olives – I like to use black olive slices. Green olives or green bell pepper also work well.
- mozzarella cheese – thin slices work best
- colby cheese – thin slices work best
Halloween Cookie Cutters
You’ll also need Halloween cookie cutters that are about two inches across. I used a bat, pumpkin, and ghost cookie cutters, but you can use Halloween cookie cutters you have at home.
How To Make Halloween Mini Pizzas
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet lightly with spray oil (I like olive oil or avocado oil) or line with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough until flat. Using a round cookie cutter or bowl that is slightly larger than the cookie cutters, cut ten circles from the pizza dough. You can re-roll any scrap dough if necessary to cut it again.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto each pizza dough. Add pepperoni if desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes without the cheese or until the edges of the dough have just started to brown.
- Use the cookie cutters to cut out Halloween shapes from the cheese. 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.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and lay the cheese cutouts onto the mini pizzas. Add black olives as eyes.
- Place the pizzas back in the oven for about 2 minutes until the cheese has just melted, then serve and enjoy!
Variation Ideas For Halloween Pizzas
This recipe is pretty flexible for individual pizzas. Use your favorite toppings!
Change The Crust– Try english muffins, mini bagels, pita bread, or naan bread as your pizza crust. Or make these pizzas on bread and call it pizza toasts! You could also use my homemade pizza dough recipe to make a delicious pizza crust.
Swap The Cheese– I’ve used mozzarella and colby jack cheese, but any white and yellow cheese can be used. Provolone, Monterey jack, Gouda, Cheddar, you can use any sliced cheese you prefer. I recommend sticking to sliced cheese to help keep the cute shape.
Change The Toppings– Use your favorite pizza toppings. Bell pepper, sausage, ham, even pineapple can work to decorate the pizzas.
Make Mummy Pizzas– Adding strips of mozzarella cheese instead of a whole piece can quickly turn these mini pizzas into mummy pizzas like my friend Lisa at Fun Money Mom made!
Swap The Sauce– An Alfredo sauce can be delicious and cute, especially for the ghost pizza!
What Do I Do With The Scraps Of Leftover Cheese?
No need to waste all the extra pieces of cheese that didn’t make cute pumpkins, bats and ghosts.
I usually save the scraps to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich or a quesadilla. You can also use the extra scraps to top a baked dish like my four-ingredient easy baked ravioli or super cheesy baked ziti.
How Long Do Mini Pizzas Last?
These mini pizzas will last for about 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I recommend reheating leftovers in an air fryer, toaster oven, or oven when reheating.
These fun Halloween pizzas can also slide into lunchboxes and be served cold.

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.
