Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you use English muffins or tortillas, lightly mist or brush them with olive oil to get crisper bases.

Assembling the Pizzas

Arrange your mini crusts on the baking sheet. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each one, leaving a little border around the edge. Sprinkle a light layer of shredded mozzarella over the sauce to help other toppings stick.
For Mummy Pizzas, lay mozzarella strips across the sauce like bandages and add olives for eyes.
For Ghost Pizzas, place a ghost-shaped mozzarella slice and add eyes with olives.
For Spider Web Pizzas, either arrange mozzarella shreds in a web pattern or bake and then pipe ranch or sour cream to form a web. Place a whole olive for the spider’s body and cut extra olives into legs.
For Jack-O’-Lantern Pizzas, top with pumpkin-shaped cheddar slice and use olives or pepper pieces for facial features. Add a green pepper piece for the stem.

Baking

Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges are crisp. The times may vary depending on the type of base you use.
If you made the spider web pizza, pipe ranch or sour cream after baking. Let the pizzas cool for 2–3 minutes to set.

Serving

Arrange the pizzas by character or on a large platter. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 2–3 days.

Notes

Use uniform bases for consistent baking times. Avoid overloading toppings to maintain designs. Chill cheese shapes for cleaner cuts. Use small cheese pieces to stabilize toppings like olives.
