This Witch’s Brew Pesto Pizza is bubbling with flavor and spooky charm! With vibrant green pesto, melty mozzarella, and eerie olive spiders, it’s a frightfully fun Halloween dinner or party appetizer that’s as tasty as it is festive.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or dough (about 12 inches)
- 1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Black olives, sliced (for “spiders”)
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Olive oil spray or brush (for crust)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the potion: Evenly spread pesto over the crust, leaving a small border.
- Add the cheese: Top with shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Add crushed red pepper if using.
- Create the spiders: Slice black olives in half for bodies, and cut slivers for legs. Arrange on top to look like creepy crawlers.
- Bake: Bake for 10–14 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is golden.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm with a cackling laugh — it’s witch-approved!
Notes
For extra Halloween flair, use a mix of green and purple pesto or add thinly sliced red onions for ‘witch hair.’ Great as a spooky appetizer or main dish!
