Turn any spooky gathering into a hit with these adorably creepy Halloween Mini Pizzas! Whether you’re throwing a Halloween bash for kids, need something quick before trick-or-treating, or just want a fun night-in with themed snacks, these personal-sized pizzas will steal the spotlight. Made with simple ingredients and ready in under 20 minutes, they’re both a creative activity and a delicious bite.

Each pizza is shaped like a tiny pumpkin and decorated with toppings to look like smiling jack-o’-lantern faces. Think gooey mozzarella, sharp pepperoni eyes, and olive mouths — all baked into crispy crusts that are perfectly sized for little hands and grown-up cravings alike. These mini pizzas are the ultimate festive finger food for fall.

What Kind of Dough Should I Use for Halloween Mini Pizzas?

You can use store-bought pizza dough, canned biscuit dough, or even naan or pita bread rounds as your base. Pre-made refrigerated dough is ideal for quick prep and allows you to focus on the fun part: decorating! If you’re going for extra crispy edges, a thin crust pizza dough or par-baking your rounds before topping can make all the difference.

Ingredients for the Halloween Mini Pizzas

Mini pizza crusts or dough rounds: These form the pumpkin base. Use cookie cutters if shaping is needed.
Pizza sauce: A rich tomato sauce base adds moisture and flavor.
Shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully to create a cheesy canvas for the faces.
Sliced black olives: Perfect for eyes or spooky smiles.
Pepperoni slices: Great for eyes or noses; easy to cut into different shapes.
Green bell pepper: Used for the pumpkin “stem” to make them look authentic.

How To Make the Halloween Mini Pizzas

Step 1: Shape and Prep the Dough

Roll out your pizza dough and use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter or freehand a basic pumpkin outline. Place each mini pizza on a lined baking sheet.

Step 2: Sauce It Up

Spoon a bit of pizza sauce on each dough round, spreading it evenly but leaving a slight edge for the crust.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce layer. This is your spooky blank canvas!

Step 4: Get Creative with Toppings

Use olives, pepperoni, and green pepper slices to create jack-o’-lantern faces. Kids can help with this part for a fun activity.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Serving and Storing Halloween Mini Pizzas

Serve your Halloween Mini Pizzas warm out of the oven for the best cheesy bite. If you’re prepping ahead for a party, you can assemble them up to a day in advance and refrigerate. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to get the cheese bubbling again. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
