Tips & Variations
- Our spiderweb pizza recipe has the BEST pizza sauce recipe. Highly recommended.
- Don't nix the mummy's eyes because olives for eyes give you the ick. Try mini pepperoni slices or Italian sausage instead.
- Love this easy Halloween pizza, but out of English muffins? Bagels or cooked biscuits swap out without a side-eye.
- To go the extra mile and make a homemade batch of mummy pizza pockets, spread the pizza sauce onto pizza dough or biscuit dough, add your favorite toppings atop the marinara sauce, then unroll crescent dough to turn crescent rolls into extra bandage strips. Top with a couple pulls of cheese to melt, not covering the olives for the eyes.
- Kids will love helping their mummy cook up Halloween recipes for this year's Halloween menu. Have the kids help spread the sauce and come up with great Halloween ideas for toppings.
