Ingredients

(Here’s A Tip: Check Out The Full List Of Ingredients And Measurements In The Recipe Card Below.)

Pizza Sauce:

28 Ounce Can Whole Tomatoes, Drained
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste

Mini Halloween Pizzas:

3 10-Inch Flour Tortillas
2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
4 Slices Mozzarella Cheese
1 Slice Cheddar Cheese
4 Large Black Olives
¼ Cup Pizza Sauce
2 Tablespoons Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions

I Prepare The Pizza Sauce By Blending Drained Tomatoes, Garlic, Olive Oil, Vinegar, And Oregano In A Food Processor Until Smooth. I Season With Salt And Pepper.
I Preheat The Oven To 400°F And Line A Baking Sheet With Non-Stick Foil.
I Cut Six 4½–5-Inch Circles From The Tortillas. I Brush Both Sides With Olive Oil And Cook In A Skillet Until Golden, About 2–3 Minutes Per Side.
I Cut Shapes From The Cheese: Baby Ghosts, A Friendly Ghost, A Pac-Man Ghost, Mummy Strips, And A Jack O’Lantern. I Use Black Olives For Eyes, Mouths, And A Spider Design.
I Spread 2 Teaspoons Of Sauce On Each Tortilla Circle. One Crust Gets Shredded Mozzarella, While The Others Just Have Sauce. I Bake For 6 Minutes.
I Decorate The Crusts With The Cheese Cutouts And Olive Details. Then I Return Them To The Oven For 1–2 Minutes, Just Until The Cheese Begins To Melt And The Figures Stay Visible.
I Serve The Mini Halloween Pizzas Warm And Spooky.

Servings And Timing

This Recipe Makes 6 Mini Pizzas. It Takes About 15 Minutes Of Prep Time And 8 Minutes Of Cooking Time, For A Total Of Around 23 Minutes.

Variations

I Sometimes Swap The Tortillas For Pita Bread Or Mini Naan For A Thicker Crust. If I Want More Variety, I Use Bell Peppers, Pepperoni, Or Mushrooms To Create Extra Faces And Characters. For A shortcut, I use store-bought pizza sauce instead of homemade.

Storage/Reheating

If I Have Leftovers, I Store Them In An Airtight Container In The Fridge For Up To 3 Days. To Reheat, I Place Them Back In The Oven At 350°F For 5–7 Minutes To Crisp The Tortillas Again. These Pizzas Aren’t Ideal For Freezing Because The Cheese Designs Lose Their Shape.

FAQs

Can I Use Store-Bought Pizza Sauce?

Yes, I Often Use Store-Bought Sauce When I’m Short On Time.

Do I Have To Use Tortillas?

No, I Sometimes Use English Muffins, Bagels, Or Mini Naan As The Base.

How Do I Keep The Cheese Shapes From Melting Too Much?

I Bake The Tortillas First, Add The Shapes, And Then Only Bake For A Minute Or Two So The Figures Stay Clear.

Can Kids Help With This Recipe?

Absolutely! I Let Them Cut Shapes With Cookie Cutters And Decorate Their Own Pizzas.

What Other Toppings Can I Use?

I Like Adding Colored Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Or Pepperoni To Create Extra Characters And Faces.
