There is a full recipe card at the bottom of this post with exact ingredients and instructions.
How Do I Make Halloween Pizza?
These simple Halloween Pizza Ideas are always what I bake on Halloween for my children. I do the whole Halloween Party Tea thing before we go trick or treating.
I find them perfect as they can be prepped before hand and simply popped in the oven. Just what is required when the kids are off their nuts on excitement and I can only just about cope.
The first option is a pizza hand complete with red pepper talons. I buy the cheapest ready made pizzas I can find because there is a bit of waste.
I also buy the medium size to make sure they are big enough to fit your hands on. I then simply draw around my wrist and hand and carefully remove the excess pizza.
I then cut out talon triangle shapes from a red pepper and place them on the top of the fingers.
Bake per the pizza instructions when you are ready for it.
The next option is the Olive Spider Pizzas. I buy the small pizzas here for the children but of course you could make them with larger ones.
I do know that olives are perhaps not an average favourite of children but the olives can always be left discarded on the plate. They just make the perfect spiders.
I buy black olives in a jar and slice them in half. I leave some whole and then slice up a whole load of the other halves into 1 mm half moon slices for the legs. arrange the spider legs around the olive bodies. Again bake as per pizza instructions when you are ready for them.
The final option is my children's favourite. Cheese and pepper Halloween cut out shapes on whole pizzas.
I bought some Halloween shape cutters from Amazon making sure they were small. Mine measure on average 5 cm across and up.
I buy blocks of mozzarella for pizzas. You want the more robust mozzarella that doesn't melt as much as the mozzarella balls.
I then slice the blocks of mozzarella into 2 mm slices. It is a bit fiddly to do. I then cut out the shapes with the cutters.
Bake your pizzas without the cheese shapes and then place on the pizza immediately when you fetch them from the oven. Then the shapes will be warmed through from the hot pizza but not melt and lose their spooky shapes.
I also do the same with red pepper but bake these in the oven at the same time with the pizza. Sometimes the red pepper can be very thick in depth. I will trim it thinner if that is the case otherwise it will be still be raw by the end of the pizza cooking time.
I like to have a group of children round for my Halloween Tea Parties and obviously I like to over cater so the parents can tuck in too.
These Halloween Pizza Ideas always go down a storm and I love how I can do all the prep before the little snotters arrive. Check out my article for BritMums on some more Halloween Party Treats or some more pizza ideas from Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. I absolutely love a Halloween Party Table.
Halloween Pizza Tips
- Use the cheaper blocks of mozzarella as it keeps its shape better
- Make the pizzas ahead and cover until you are ready to bake. This gives you more time for the hysteria
- Use a medium pizza for the monster hand pizza and keep your fingers spaced well apart when cutting around.
- Don't put the mozzarella on until the pizza is baked. Otherwise it will lose it's shape.
- Trim the thickness of the peppers if the flesh is too thick sto cook through in time.
- Obviously you can make just one type of pizza to suit your family. You will need to change the amounts of ingredients accordingly.

Halloween Pizza Ideas
Ingredients
- 4 small/medium ready made margerita pizzas
- 100 grams mozzarella pizza mozzarella
- 1 large red pepper
- 12 stoned black olives
Instructions
- I use a medium pizza for the monster hand pizza. I use my own hand to carefully cut around making sure that I keep my fingers spread apart. Make sure that you don't drag the knife when cutting as the pizza base can rip. Carefully remove the cut off waste from around the hand shape and set aside. Cut out triangle talon nail shapes and place on the top of each finger.
- To make the olive spider pizzas I use a small pizza and cut all the olives in half. Place 4 olive halves on the pizza and then slice the remaining olives into 1mm strips for legs. Place 8 strips around each olive half.
- To make the halloween shape pizzas I again use the small pizzas. I cut the mozarella blocks lengthways in 2 mm layers. Do the same out of red pepper ¼'s. I cut the pepper into four and use the leftovers for the monster hand talons. I press the pepper as flat as I can before punching out the shapes. The shapes are on average 5 cm high and wide. If the pepper is very thick I trim some of the thickness off otherwise the pepper will not be cooked by the end of the pizza baking time.The mozzarella shapes when cut out should be set aside and only placed on the pizza immediately after baking. Otherwise it will melt hopelessly in the oven.
- Bake the pizzas according to the instructions.
