Easy Mini Halloween Pizzas

These Easy Mini Halloween Pizzas are a spooky and delicious way to celebrate the season! Perfect for kids and adults alike, these mini pizzas come together quickly with flour tortillas as the base and festive toppings made from sliced cheese, black olives, and bell pepper. Use your creativity to design fun Halloween faces like ghosts, mummies, spiders, and pumpkins.

Ingredients and Tools

  • Flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Olive oil
  • Homemade or store-bought pizza sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded and sliced)
  • Cheddar cheese (sliced)
  • Black olives
  • Bell pepper (for pumpkin stem)

Cookie Cutters/Tools:

  • Ghost-shaped cookie cutters (baby ghost and friendly ghost)
  • Jack O’Lantern or pumpkin cookie cutter
  • Egg-shaped cookie cutter (for Pac-Man ghost)
  • Kitchen shears
  • Pizza cutter

Thin and Crispy Tortilla Crust To make the crust, cut 4.5 to 5-inch circles from the flour tortillas. Brush both sides with olive oil and toast them in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step gives the pizzas a crispy base and prevents sogginess.

Toppings & Decorations

  • Spooky Spider: Half of a black olive for the body and thin slices for the legs.
  • Baby Ghosts: Cut from mozzarella slices, with black olive eyes.
  • Friendly Ghost: Same as above with added olive mouth.
  • Mummy: Thin mozzarella strips arranged like bandages, olive slices for eyes.
  • Pac-Man Ghost: Mozzarella cut into egg shape with zigzag bottom, black olive eyes.
  • Jack O’Lantern: Cheddar slice cut with a pumpkin cutter, decorated with mozzarella eyes/mouth and a bell pepper stem.

Assembly

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.
  2. Spread 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on each tortilla round.
  3. Top one round with shredded mozzarella for the spider design.
  4. Leave the rest plain to add shaped cheeses after baking.
  5. Bake for 6 minutes until sauce is bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven and add cheese cutouts and toppings.
  7. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes until cheese starts to melt. Watch closely so shapes don’t lose definition.

Serving These mini Halloween pizzas are best enjoyed fresh but can be made slightly ahead and reheated. They make a fun and festive appetizer or snack for Halloween parties, lunchboxes, or a themed dinner night.

Tips

  • Use street taco tortillas if you don’t want to cut your own.
  • Skip the cookie cutters by using kitchen shears for freehand designs.
  • Add cheese decorations after initial bake to maintain the look.
