Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you’re feeling extra dramatic, pretend you’re summoning the perfect crust.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a spooky form — a jack-o’-lantern face, a ghost, or a haunted castle. Don’t stress about perfection; character trumps contour.

Brush a light coat of olive oil around the edges to help the crust go golden and not cardboardy. Spread the pizza sauce over the center, leaving a thin border for a crusty edge.

Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the sauce. It’s the blanket that makes every bite oozy and melty.

Arrange toppings to create your Halloween masterpiece: olives for eyes, bell peppers for color, onions for teeth, and tomatoes for bloody mouths if you’re feeling extra theatrical.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a little heat, dust with red pepper flakes.

Bake 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on it; burned cheese is a mood, but not a tasty one.

Remove, let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Slice and serve to your goblin crew.
