Halloween brings out the kid in me, though to be honest, I don’t think it takes much for that! Though my kids are growing up awfully quickly, I still love the decorations, making costumes, and, of course, all the fun-sized treats.

If you have followed me for any length of time, you know that I also love holiday themed food. To help your whole family get into the Halloween spirit with me, I am sharing this easy Halloween pizza recipe.

Supplies

Let’s start with a few of my favorite pizza making supplies!

Halloween Deep Dish Pizza Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Pillsbury pizza dough – homemade dough or store bought dough, both work.
  • Mozzarella cheese – shredded.
  • Pizza sauce – I like to use ready made Primo sauce in a bottle but any kind will do.
  • Pepperoni – sliced thinly.

More Halloween Pizza Ideas

  • Use mozzarella balls and black olives to create eyeballs in and around the “intestines”.
  • Instead of one large intestine pizza, use cookie cutters to shape the dough into mini pizzas. This gets the whole family involved in making their own pizzas and works for any holiday season. For Halloween-themed pizzas, try ghost shapes, mini mummy pizzas, or spider bodies with vegetable spider legs.
  • Make a round pizza and use red pepper, green pepper, or even mozzarella cheese sticks to create a spider web design. Don’t forget the black olive spiders!
  • For a ghost pizza, use a sharp knife to cut ghost shapes out of cheese slices.

Tips & Tricks

  • Feel free to use any of your favorite homemade pizza dough and sauce recipes.
  • Take the basic ingredients in this recipe and make it your own. You can include any of your favorite toppings on the pizza, like peppers, green olive slices, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions, or chicken.
  • If you have dietary restrictions, use a gluten-free pizza crust or lactose-free cheese. It is so easy to customize.
