Description
Your new favorite Halloween party food! This Jack-O’-Lantern Veggie Pizza is fun, festive, and cheesy — a perfectly spooky twist on classic pizza, decorated with bell peppers and olives to look like a grinning pumpkin.
Ingredients
1 lb pizza dough (or 1 pre-made crust)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 large orange bell peppers, sliced into thin rings
8–10 black olives, sliced and cut into shapes
Fresh basil or parsley sprig, for stem
Instructions
1. Preheat oven according to pizza dough directions (usually 425°F / 220°C).
2. Shape pizza dough into a round on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly, leaving a small border for crust.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
5. Arrange orange bell pepper rings in a circle to form a pumpkin outline.
6. Cut black olives into shapes for eyes, nose, and mouth. Place inside the pumpkin outline to make a jack-o’-lantern face.
7. Add a small basil or parsley sprig at the top as the pumpkin stem.
8. Bake 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Cool 2 minutes, slice, and serve.
Notes
This pizza is super flexible — add extra veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or onions under the cheese if you’d like. Kids love helping design the face!
