Instructions

Toast Pita Bread

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Start preparing all your toppings.
Place an oven safe baking rack on a large sheet pan, and each pita bread on the rack. Toast the pitas in the oven for 7 minutes until they are just firm. This gets them slightly crisp before putting toppings on.
If you make your pizza sauce at home, mix a small 6 oz can of roasted garlic tomato paste with an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce, and a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on each pita bread using a small brush or back of a spoon, and decorate for Halloween!

Halloween Pizza Topping Ideas

Mummy Pizza: Add some grated white cheese, then lay strips of cheese (string cheese) in a crisscross pattern, and add two black olive slices for eyes. Add candy eyes inside black olive eyes after it bakes.
Friendly Ghost Pizza: For a simple cheese pizza, add some grated cheese, then use ghost-shaped cookie cutters and cut a ghost shape out of a slice of mozzarella cheese, provolone, or Swiss. Add a small circle of black olive for the mouth, and add candy eyes after it bakes.
Pumpkin Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza: Add some orange shredded cheese then cut round pepperoni slices with scissors into triangles for eyes and nose, then cut them into smaller triangles for teeth on your pepperoni pizza.
Dracula: Add some shredded white cheese, chopped black olives for hair, green olives with pimentos for eyes, and slice a piece of curved red bell pepper for a mouth and tiny triangles for fangs.
Frankenstein: Sprinkle grated white cheese, and for a fun pizza add crumbled cooked sausage for hair, mini pepperoni for eyes, green olive on the neck for his bolts, a black olive nose, and red bell pepper pieces for his stitched mouth.
Monster: Sprinkle on grated cheese, big pepperoni for eyes, then two mushroom caps with small pepperoni on top, a black olive nose, then red bell pepper strips for eyebrows, and small triangle pieces for his teeth.
NOTE: The candy eyeballs melt in the oven heat, so place them on right after baking!
Place decorated Halloween Pita Pizzas on the oven rack over a large sheet pan, and bake for 7 minutes at 400 degrees. After baking and add some candy eyes, and serve warm!

Notes

pita bread

Purchase a good thin pita bread, and pre-toast the bread in a 400 degree oven for 5-7 minutes or so, this creates a nice crisp crust on your pita pizzas!

Don't bake directly on a baking sheet, use a wire rack to get the oven heat all around the pizza.

If you don't have a wire baking rack then pre-toast the pita bread on the oven racks and bake the pizzas there as well. Place some foil on the rack below to catch any drips!
