Everything you might find in a graveyard has made its way into this devilishly spooky pizza! Use a frozen pizza for the base but scare it up with eyeballs, spiders, tongues, vampire fangs, and worms for your kids before you go out trick or treating on Halloween!

Spiders, worms, eyeballs and vampire tongues can be found on this spooky Halloween Graveyard pizza! This creepy Halloween-inspired dinner is so quick and easy to make thanks to a frozen cheese pizza, all you have to do it make the toppings!

Graveyard pizza is the perfect kid-friendly dinner to serve on Halloween! The best part is that it's super easy to assemble, and if you use a frozen pizza for the base, all you have to do is make your spooky toppings. Kids will love finding and eating the red bloody tomato sauce, cheesy eyeballs, vampire pepper tounges, zucchini worms, and black olive spiders! This meal is spooky, creepy, delicious, and so much fun! 

Step by Step Instructions

First, assemble your spooky pizza toppings. You'll need mozzarella cheese balls, olives, zucchini, and one small red pepper. 

Mozzarella balls, olives, zucchini, and a red pepper on a dark background.

Next, cut the top off the bell pepper (don't throw it out), and remove the seeds and membranes. Follow the white lines and cut it all the way down to the base. The pieces will be pointy on the end, so use a sharp knife and round off the tip. If the "tongue" is too wide, slice thin layers off the sides until you get a tongue-like shape that you're happy with.

Then, use a small knife to cut around the bell pepper stem and cut the pepper into two long pieces. When you put them together, the gap where the stem was will make it look like lips that are opened a little bit. I used two small pieces of zucchini for the fangs.

A red bell pepper sliced into wedges on a dark background.

Now, let's make the black olive spiders. Each spider takes two black olives to make the body and the legs. Cut one olive in half (vertically) and use one half as the body.  Cut the other olive in half and then cut each half into three legs. You will have one half of an olive left which you can use as the body for the next spider.

To make the green worms, you'll need a spiralizer to shred zucchini into worms. Leave the skin on the zucchini for color and texture. You only need one small zucchini to make a few worms.

For the eyeballs, use small mozzarella balls (I got them from the olive bar at Whole Foods) and top each one with an olive slice to look like an iris.

Lastly, assemble your creepy toppings on top of a frozen cheese pizza and bake it according to the directions. The mozzarella balls will melt when you put the pizza in the oven, but they will keep their round shape. I love how the vampire tongues and lips shrivel a little bit, it's so realistic and gross! Perfect for a Halloween-themed dinner.

What Goes With It? 

I usually serve this Halloween-inspired dinner with a salad or roasted vegetables to keep it quick and easy, but you could also serve the following side dishes: 

  • Green Cilantro Lime Quinoa
  • Avocado Cherry Tomato Salad
  • Creamy Broccoli Salad

Recipe Variations

You can follow the recipe instructions to make the pizza just like this, or you can try any of the following variations:

  • Pita Pizzas: Use pita pockets to make individual pizzas and top them with tomato sauce and all of your homemade toppings. 
  • Make it Vegan: Use a vegan-friendly frozen cheese pizza and skip the mozzarella eyeballs.
  • Use Homemade Pizza Crust: Skip the premade frozen pizza and make pizza crust from scratch and homemade tomato sauce! This could be a fun activity to do with older kids. 

Success Tips

  • Use a frozen cheese pizza to make Halloween dinner super quick and simple!
  • If you decide to make the pizza crust from scratch, make sure you put the spooky toppings on top of the shredded mozzarella cheese so you can still see the worms, spiders, eyeballs, and vampire tongues.
  • Store the leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Equipment

  • Small Knife

Ingredients

  • 1 small red pepper
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 6 small mozzarella balls
  • 8 black olives
  • 1 frozen cheese pizza

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to the pizza Instructions. Next, Assemble the toppings.
  • Bell Pepper Tongues: Cut the top off the bell pepper (don’t throw it out), and remove the seeds and membranes. Follow the white lines and cut it all the way down to the base. The pieces will be pointy on the end, so use a sharp knife and round off the tip. If the “tongue” is too wide, slice thin layers off the sides until you get a tongue-like shape that you’re happy with.
  • Bell Pepper Lips: Use a small knife to cut around the bell pepper stem and cut the pepper into two long pieces. When you put them together, the gap where the stem was will make it look like lips that are opened a little bit. I used two small pieces of zucchini for the fangs.
  • Black Pepper Spiders: Each spider takes two black olives to make the body and the legs. Cut one olive in half (vertically) and use one half as the body.  Cut the other olive in half and then cut each half into three legs. You will have one half of an olive left which you can use as the body for the next spider. 
  • Green Worms: To make the green worms, you’ll need a spiralizer to shred zucchini into long, skinny worms. Leave the skin on the zucchini for color and texture.
  • Mozzarella Eyeballs: Use small mozzarella balls (I got them from the olive bar at Whole Foods) and top each one with a round olive slice to look like an iris. 
  • Arrange the toppings on the pizza and bake it according to the frozen pizza instructions.

Notes

  • Use a frozen cheese pizza to make Halloween dinner super quick and simple!
  • If you decide to make the pizza crust from scratch, make sure you put the spooky toppings on top of the shredded mozzarella cheese so you can still see the worms, spiders, eyeballs, and vampire tongues.
  • Store the leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.

    To heck with the kids! I think my kid-at-heart husband just might be getting this for a pre-Halloween meal. It's so hard to get vegetables down his throat! Genius! (And I think I still can enjoy a glass of wine alongside!)

      Exaclty! I don't have any kids, I made this for my 32 year old fiancé, he LOVED it! A glass of wine definitely goes well with a graveyard pizza, it's a perfect pairing! Hehe
