• Customizable – Add your favorite toppings or swap in gluten-free or vegan options.
• Festive Fun – The mummy look instantly adds Halloween magic to your table.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Flatbread or Naan – Serves as the quick pizza base. Sub with tortillas for a thinner crust.
• Pizza Sauce or Marinara – Tangy tomato sauce forms the base layer. Homemade or jarred both work well.
• Mozzarella Cheese – Cut into strips to form mummy “bandages.” Vegan cheese shreds can be substituted.
• Black Olives – Sliced to create spooky eyes. Green olives or small pepperoni circles also work.
• Optional Toppings – Peppers, mushrooms, or onions can be tucked under the cheese for variety.

Tip: For a pumpkin pizza Halloween twist, mix a little pumpkin puree into the tomato sauce for extra richness and seasonal flair.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the flatbread by laying them on the baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each piece.
3. Add toppings if using, such as peppers or mushrooms. Keep it simple so the mummy design is clear.
4. Create mummy bandages by laying strips of mozzarella across the pizzas in crisscrossing patterns, leaving space for the eyes.
5. Place olive eyes near the top of each pizza. Use whole slices or layer on small pepperoni circles with olives in the center.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges of the flatbread are golden.
7. Serve warm as a spooky dinner or easy Halloween food snack.

Notes and Top Tips

• Use shredded cheese if you don’t want to cut strips, but strips give a more authentic mummy look.
• For gluten-free Halloween pizza ideas, choose gluten-free flatbreads or cauliflower crusts.
• Make ahead by assembling pizzas a few hours early, then baking just before serving.
• Let kids design their own mummies for a fun Halloween activity.

Serving Suggestions and Variations

• Party Platter: Arrange the mummy pizzas on a large tray alongside a Halloween charcuterie board with cheeses, crackers, and spooky snacks.
• Add Heat: For adults, sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce before serving.
• Pumpkin Twist: Use pumpkin-shaped cookie cutters on flatbread for a pumpkin pizza Halloween variation.
• Sweet Option: Try dessert mummy pizzas with Nutella, marshmallow strips, and candy eyes for a playful take on Halloween desserts.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Wrap baked mummy pizzas individually and freeze for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is gooey again. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust crisp.
