Helpful Tips Before You Start
A little prep work helps the pizzas come together without stress.
Color the Dough
Mix a bit of spinach puree into one batch for green dough and activated charcoal into another for black. This gives a strong base for spooky designs.
Cut Shapes Early
Use small cookie cutters on cheese slices, pepperoni, and bell peppers before you start assembling. Precut pieces speed up decorating each pizza.
Choose Sturdy Crusts
Thicker dough holds up better under heavy toppings like extra cheese or sauce. Thin crusts can sag once you add fun shapes and details.
Work in Stages
Make the sauce and prep all toppings the day before. On the day of, you only need to roll dough and bake.
Use Parchment Paper
Slide each pizza onto a sheet of parchment before baking. This makes it easy to move them in and out of the oven without losing any toppings.
