Ghost Pizzas for Halloween
Make these easy and fun Ghost Pizzas for Halloween! Such a simple and spooky dinner idea that everyone will love. Includes a recipe for homemade bread machine pizza dough.
Make it a fun Halloween tradition!
Happy Halloween! I wanted to share this simple and spooky idea with you for your Halloween dinner! Every year I try to make a spooky pizza for the kids on Halloween night before they head out trick-or-treating. Pizza is always a big hit in our home, especially the home made kind, and I love that it’s an easy dinner for me to prepare, so it’s a win win for everyone. My little trick or treaters love the ghost pizzas the most…they make the kids smile and get excited for their night of candy collecting! It’s a fun way to send them off trick or treating. Here are some of our favourite ghost pizzas.
Use your bread machine to make the dough!
Not only are these Ghost Pizzas super fun, but they’re also really easy. I make the dough in my bread machine with recipe below, then it’s as simple as shaping the ball of dough into a ghost form. Then I spread on a small jar of bought pizza sauce, add our favourite toppings and cover them all with cheese. Then you can get creative and decorate the tops the way you like.
Ideas and Tips for Making Halloween Pizzas
- ASSEMBLING THE PIZZAS: Spread the sauce, sprinkle on the cheese, then decorate.
- WHAT ABOUT ALL THE TOPPINGS? If you want to add loads of pizza toppings, put them under the cheese, then sprinkle on the shredded cheese and decorate.
- IDEAS FOR DECORATING:
- For the eyes and mouth you can use many different things: cut tomatoes, pepperoni, olives.
- Cut pineapple or bell peppers to look like sharp teeth.
- Use cookie cutters to cut ghosts out of slices of cheese.
- QUICK TIP! Don’t want to make your own dough? No problem! Buy pre-made dough to shape yourself. Or buy a pre-made pizza crust and cut it to shape.
- Remember it doesn’t have to be perfect, Halloween food is perfect when it’s not perfect!

Ghost Pizzas for Halloween
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast
Instructions
- Add all of the above ingredients to your bread machine.
- Select the ‘Dough’ cycle (it’s usually about a 1 hr and 30 minute cycle).
- Once the dough cycle has completed, remove the dough to a surface lightly dusted with flour, and cover with a clean tea towel. Let rise for 15 minutes.
- Roll out and shape the dough into a ghost and transfer it to a prepared baking sheet. (I prepare a baking sheet with a light layer of olive oil, or some corn meal.)
- Add pizza sauce, toppings and cheese.
- Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
