Delicious Spooky Pizza Pumpkins

Mozzarella dough, no-sugar sauce, and olive faces — ready in 20 minutes.

These are the Halloween pizzas that stay on a low-carb plate. The crust is almond flour and mozzarella, not wheat. The faces are black olive slices and strips of red and green pepper, the same ones on the platter in the photo. One pizza is about 240 calories, 18g protein, and 6g net carbs. Seven on the plate is the picture, not the serving.

Use no-sugar pizza sauce. The jar with added sugar misses the card. Slice the olives, do not chop them. A slice is the eye. A short pepper strip is the mouth. Press the faces on after the cheese, so they sit on top the way they do in the photo.

The dough should be thick enough to pat into rounds, not a thin crust you can see through. Thin crust bakes hard and the olive faces slide off. Twenty minutes covers the melt and the gold edge. Longer and the olives burn.

Why you'll love it

A face on every round, not a plain mini pizza.

Looks like the photo: olive eyes, pepper mouths, gold edges, a white platter.

The Secret to the Face

Press the olives and pepper on after the cheese, not under it. Under the cheese they sink and the face disappears. On top they stay where you put them, which is the look on the platter. Slice the olives. A chopped olive is not an eye.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Can I use regular pizza sauce? 🫙

Only if it is no-sugar. A regular jar misses the card.

Why did the faces slide off? 🫒

The rounds were too thin, or the faces went on before the cheese. Pat them thick and press the face on last.

Can I freeze them? 🧊

Yes, after they cool. Reheat in a pan or the oven so the edge crisps. The microwave softens the face.
