Boo-licious Ghost Pizzas
Make these easy and fun Ghost Pizzas for Halloween! Such a simple and spooky dinner idea that everyone will love!
Happy Halloween! I wanted to share this simple and spooky idea for your Halloween dinner! Every year I try to make a spooky pizza for the kids for Halloween night. 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. So this year I created ghost pizzas for my little trick or treaters…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.
Use your bread machine to make the dough!
These Ghost Pizzas are so festive but SO easy at the same time. 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 I cut out some tomatoes for eyes and a mouth, and bake until golden delicious!
Recipe Tips for Ghost Pizzas:
- Instead of tomatoes, use pepperoni slices to make the ghost face.
- If you want to add loads of toppings, put them under the cheese, then dress the top of the pizza to look like a ghost.
- Remember it doesn’t have to be perfect, Halloween food is perfect when it’s not perfect!

Ghost Pizzas for Halloween
Make Ghost Pizzas for Halloween! Such a simple and fun dinner idea! This recipe makes 1 large pizza ghost.
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients

Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to your bread machine.

- 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.)
