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.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan.
- Melt 1 1/2 cups mozzarella with the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the egg, almond flour, and Italian seasoning. It should form a soft dough.
- Divide into 7 pieces. Pat each into a round on the pan.
- Spread a thin spoon of sauce on each. Cover with the remaining mozzarella.
- Set two olive slices for eyes and a pepper strip for the mouth. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are gold and the cheese is bubbling.
- Cool 2 minutes. One pizza is a serving.
Notes & Tips
- No-sugar sauce only. Check the jar. Added sugar misses the card.
- Olive slices, not chopped olives. A slice is the eye in the photo.
- Do not thin the rounds. A thin crust bakes hard and the faces slide.
- Press the faces on after the cheese, or they sink.
- Best the day they are baked. Fridge, covered, up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan, not the microwave, or the crust goes soft.
- Per pizza, estimate: 240 calories, 18g protein, 6g net carbs, 16g fat.
