Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 package prebaked mini 8-inch pizza crusts (such as Boboli)
Toppings
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 2 mozzarella string cheese sticks (1 oz each)
- 3 large pitted black olives
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Crusts: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the prebaked mini pizza crusts on a baking sheet to prepare for topping.
- Add Sauce and Create Spiderweb: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over each crust. Pull the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips and arrange them on the pizzas in the shape of a web for a spooky effect.
- Bake Pizzas: Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 3 minutes before adding the spider decorations.
- Make Olive Spiders: Prepare the olive spiders by cutting off one end of two olives to serve as spider heads. Halve the remaining olive lengthwise; use one olive half as the spider’s body and slice the rest into thin strips for legs. Assemble the spiders on top of the spiderweb cheese on each pizza.
Notes
- You can substitute the mini crusts with regular pizza dough cut into smaller circles if desired.
- For a milk-free version, use a vegan cheese alternative that melts well.
- Additional toppings like pepperoni or bell peppers can be added underneath the cheese web for extra flavor.
- Use a pizza stone for crispier crust if available.
- Customize spider shapes using different colored olives or small pepperoni slices.
