Share
Halloween isn’t just for candy — it’s also the perfect excuse to turn your kitchen into a monster lab! 🧟♀️ Our Halloween Monster Pizza is a frightfully fun twist on a classic favorite. Think mini pizzas with gooey cheese, “eyeballs” made of olives, pepperoni smiles, and creepy-cute faces that make dinner the highlight of the night.
This easy homemade pizza recipe is perfect for kids and adults alike. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash, planning a spooky movie marathon, or just want something festive for dinner, this monster-inspired pizza is sure to steal the show — and maybe a few screams (of delight!).
🧄 Ingredients:
- 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni slices
- Black olives (sliced for “eyes”)
- Bell peppers (cut into fangs, eyebrows, and smiles)
- Mushrooms, onions, or other toppings of your choice
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: pesto or barbecue sauce for “monster slime” drizzle
🧙♀️ Instructions:
- Preheat & prep. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape your monsters. Roll out the pizza dough and cut into fun shapes — circles, ovals, or even monster heads. You can use cookie cutters or freestyle your own designs!
- Add the sauce. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each base.
- Cheese it up. Sprinkle mozzarella generously for that perfect gooey look.
- Create your monster faces! Use pepperoni for mouths, olive slices for eyes, bell peppers for creepy smiles, and mushrooms for eyebrows. Have fun with it — no two monsters should look alike!
- Bake. Pop into the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with flair. Drizzle with pesto or barbecue sauce for extra “monster goo.”
🎃 Tips for Extra Spooky Fun:
- Use string cheese strips for mummy-style wrapping.
- Add candy eyes after baking for a cute (and edible) surprise.
- Serve with “bloody” marinara dipping sauce on the side.
