Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 package prebaked mini 8-inch pizza crusts (such as Boboli)
Sauce & Cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 (1 oz each) mozzarella string cheese
Decorations
- 3 large pitted black olives
Instructions
- Prepare the Pizzas: Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the prebaked mini pizza crusts on a baking sheet and spread the pizza sauce evenly over each crust to ensure even coverage.
- Create the Spiderweb: Pull the mozzarella string cheeses into thin strips and carefully arrange them over the pizzas in the shape of a spiderweb, creating a fun and spooky design.
- Bake the Pizzas: Place the pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool for about 3 minutes before decorating further.
- Assemble the Olive Spiders: Prepare the olive spiders by cutting the ends off two olives to form the spider heads. Halve the remaining olives lengthwise, using one half for the spider’s body, and slicing the leftover pieces into thin strips to make legs. Arrange the olive spiders on top of each pizza to complete the decoration.
Notes
- Use prebaked pizza crusts to reduce cooking time and simplify preparation.
- You can substitute mozzarella string cheese with shredded mozzarella if needed, but string cheese is easier to shape.
- Ensure olives are pitted for easier cutting and assembly.
- Cool pizzas slightly before placing olives to prevent shifting or sliding.
- Great for kids’ parties or Halloween-themed events.
- Can be served with additional toppings as desired.
