Description
These Mini Skull Pizzas are a spooky and delicious twist on classic pizza — perfect for Halloween parties, movie nights, or a fun family dinner! Baked in a skull-shaped mold, they’re crispy on the outside, cheesy inside, and frightfully fun to eat.
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup mini pepperoni or chopped regular pepperoni
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Skull-shaped silicone or metal baking mold
- Optional: cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, or olives for spooky details
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the skull mold with olive oil or nonstick spray.
- Cut pizza dough into small pieces to fit each mold cavity. Press dough into the bottom and sides of each skull shape.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce into each cavity. Add mozzarella, pepperoni, and any desired toppings. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Place another small piece of dough over each filled mold. Press edges together to seal. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then carefully pop out the mini skull pizzas.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle parmesan on top before baking.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 5 minutes before serving.
