Recipe Overview
- Yield: 1 large ghost pizza
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Cook time: 10–15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 lb. pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup pizza sauce or tomato basil sauce
- 2 cups low-moisture, whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Sliced black olives (for the eyes and mouth)
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough & Shape the Ghost
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Lightly dust your countertop with flour. Roll out your pizza dough into an oval or round, about ¼-inch thick.
- Transfer the dough to parchment paper on a baking sheet. Gently shape the top third of the dough into a ghostly head with two wavy arms. Think of the classic “Boo!” ghost shape — a round top and a flowing bottom.
