Spooky meets scrumptious in these Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas. Perfect for Halloween parties or a fun kitchen activity with kids, these bite-sized delights bring a hauntingly cute twist to classic pizza. With their ghost-shaped mozzarella cheese and olive slice eyes, they’re as fun to look at as they are to eat.

The soft mini crusts are topped with rich tomato sauce, melted cheese, and a hint of frightful charm. Whether you’re hosting a spooky soirée or just want a playful dinner, these mini ghost pizzas will be the highlight of your table.

What Kind of Pizza Dough Should I Use?

You can use store-bought refrigerated pizza dough for convenience, or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous. The key is to roll it thin enough so the mini pizzas bake up crispy on the edges while staying chewy in the center. Crescent roll dough or biscuit dough also works well if you want a fluffier base.

Ingredients for the Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas

Pizza Dough
This forms the base of your mini pizzas. Opt for classic pizza dough, crescent roll dough, or even biscuit dough.

Tomato Sauce
Use a smooth marinara or pizza sauce as the base layer. Adds tangy flavor and moisture.

Mozzarella Cheese
Fresh mozzarella slices are key to creating the ghost shape. They melt beautifully and hold shape.

Black Olives
Slice them to make the eyes of your cheese ghosts. You could also use peppercorns or small pieces of black beans as an alternative.

Olive Oil (Optional)
Brush the mini crusts for a golden finish and a touch of richness.

How To Make the Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3 to 4-inch rounds using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.

Step 2: Add the Sauce

Place the dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon about a tablespoon of tomato sauce onto each round and spread it evenly.

Step 3: Shape the Ghosts

Cut mozzarella slices into ghost shapes using a knife or a ghost-shaped cookie cutter. Place one ghost cheese slice on each mini pizza.

Step 4: Add the Eyes

Cut black olives into small ovals or circles. Add two to each ghost shape as eyes, pressing lightly so they stick.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the crust is golden brown.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let cool for a couple of minutes and serve warm. These are best eaten fresh but can be stored and reheated.
