What Kind of Pizza Dough Should I Use?

Store-bought pizza dough works great for this recipe, especially if you’re short on time. You can also use homemade dough if you prefer a specific texture or taste. For a crispy crust, thin dough is perfect. If you like your pizza soft and fluffy, go for thicker dough or even biscuit dough as a base.

Ingredients for the Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas

To create the magic, you only need a handful of ingredients that work perfectly together.

• Pizza dough – This is the base of your mini ghost pizzas, and it holds all the delicious toppings.
• Mozzarella cheese slices – These will be cut into ghost shapes. Their stretchiness and melt factor give each mini pizza a spooky yet adorable look.
• Pizza sauce – Adds rich, tomato flavor to the base.
• Mini pepperoni or olives – Used to make the ghost eyes, giving them personality.
• Olive oil – Helps the crust get golden and crisp.
• Italian seasoning – Optional, but adds a flavorful boost to your pizza.

How To Make the Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut mini pizza circles.

Step 2: Add the Sauce

Place the circles on a lined baking sheet. Add a spoonful of pizza sauce to each circle and spread it around, leaving a bit of edge for the crust.

Step 3: Shape Your Ghosts

Cut ghost shapes out of the mozzarella slices using a small ghost cookie cutter or a paring knife. Place one ghost on each mini pizza.

Step 4: Make the Eyes

Add two mini pepperoni or small pieces of olive to each ghost for eyes.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Brush the crust edges with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

How to Serve and Store Mini Ghost Pizzas

These little pizzas are best served warm, right out of the oven. The mozzarella ghosts will be slightly melted but still hold their shape. If you’re serving them for a party, you can keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) for up to an hour.

They also store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy them again. This recipe makes around 12 mini pizzas, so it’s perfect for small gatherings or snacking throughout the week.
