Ingredients you will need to make Mini Ghost Pizzas:

  • Pizza dough – You can either buy premade pizza dough or you can make homemade pizza dough.
  • Pizza sauce – whatever your favorite marinara or pizza sauce is works great.
  • Sliced mozzarella cheese – for the ghosts, of course!

That’s it! Three ingredients is all you need! Do take a second to read through the tips below to make your mini ghost pizzas.

Recipe Tips and Suggestions:

  • The #1 trick for making these is to wait to place the cheese ghosts until the very end of the baking process. If you add the cheese from the start, it will melt completely and the ghosts will lose their shape! I prefer to stay somewhat close to the oven to make sure the cheese doesn’t melt too much.
  • You can use a round cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter for the pizzas. If you don’t have these, you can also use a drinking glass.
  • A ghost-shaped cookie cutter will save you a lot of time, but you’ll want to check its the right size. I didn’t have any ghost cookie cutters that were small enough for a mini pizza so I had to shape these by hand.
  • If you are going to cut them by hand, I recommend stacking 3-4 slices of cheese and cutting through them all at once to save time and for consistency!

  • For the eyes and mouth, I used a more narrow straw we already had at home which made making the eyes and mouth super simple!

Mini Ghost Pizzas - Celebrate spooky season with these adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas! These pizzas are perfect for Halloween parties!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound prepared pizza dough
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Use a round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut about 8 mini pizzas.
  3. Arrange the mini pizzas on the baking sheet. Spoon some sauce on top of each pizza.
  4. While the pizzas are baking, use a cookie cutter or knife to cut small ghost shapes that will fit on the pizzas. Use a straw or knife to create two eyes and a mouth. Set aside.
  5. Bake the pizzas for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the pizzas are just starting to turn lightly golden.
  6. Remove the pizzas from the oven and place the ghost sliced cheese on top of each pizza. Place back into the oven for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese just starts to melt (I like to wait close by the oven to make sure they don't melt too much).
  7. Serve and enjoy!
