This olive spider pizza will give your family the creeps!
Outdoor cooking is even more fun with a pizza oven.
Olive ‘Spider’ Pizza
Easy to make and delightfully spooky (without being too scary), the spider-shaped olives on this pizza are a fun way to involve kids in holiday cooking. An orange vodka sauce serves as the festive background to this salty black spider family, along with a healthy dose of mozzarella.
Each spider can be made using one olive. If you’re worried about kids + vodka, don’t worry: all of the alcohol burns off while cooking!
There’s nothing too complicated about this pizza, and that’s why we love it. It will make your Halloween party spread festive and just a little creepy without any sacrifices… on flavour, that is. [Cue maniacal laughing.]
Hot dog mummies are funny, cute and tasty.

Halloween Hot Dog Mummies
Halloween hot dog mummies with edible eyes and puff pastry wrappings are a great way to get kids involved in preparing a Halloween party. Use store-bought ingredients to ensure that the process is all fun and no fuss.
With dough that mimics tattered mummy wrappings and sugar eyes to bring them to life, ‘mummified’ snacks are as silly and festive as they are satisfying. The spooky cousin to traditional pigs-in-a-blanket, these are a bit bigger and have a whole lot more personality, but the taste profile is much the same. Buttery dough wrapped around salty meat makes for an addictive treat that can serve as the main dish on the kids’ table (and a snack for the adults).
We love these as post-trick-or-treat sustenance or a final touch to a Halloween party spread. Even if you’re tired from collecting lollies door to door, you can have these on the table in less than 30 minutes — and they’re so easy, you could cook them while still in costume!
Pizza isn’t all about savoury food…
Chocolate, Caramel and Peanut Candy Bar Pizza
Sweet and salty, this dessert pizza is an elevated version of a Halloween fun-size candy bar (cough, Snickers, cough). Designed to please the adults and little ones alike, it has a pastry cream base that’s covered in zigzags of chocolate and caramel. Chopped peanuts sprinkled on post-bake add a dash of salt and crunch.
While the toppings are designed to be approachable (and make ready-made substitutions easy), we do recommend making everything from scratch. Never made pastry cream before? This custard comes together quickly on the stovetop, and with a few ‘tells’ to watch for, it’s easy for a beginner. We like to make our own caramel and chocolate, but store-bought caramel sauce and hot fudge will work just as well.
Pro tip: Using a squirt bottle to apply the chocolate sauce and caramel will allow you to make those precise, Instagram-worthy lines. If you don’t want to involve more equipment, spooning the toppings on, while not as neat, will be just as delicious.
The name of the Halloween game might be trick-or-treating, but who needs a bag full of lollies when you’ve got a Snickers-inspired pizza on your table?
