For crisper outlines, add the cheese shapes during the last few minutes of baking.
The designs work on any Milton's Cauliflower Crust Pizza flavor.

How to Make Ghost and Jack-o'-Lantern Pizzas

Preheat the oven. Heat the oven to 425°F, following the box directions. Keep both pizzas in the freezer until you're ready to top them, since Milton's pizzas bake straight from frozen with no thawing.
Cut the ghosts. Use a small knife to cut ghost shapes from the mozzarella, giving each one a wavy bottom edge. Press two olive bits onto each ghost for eyes.
Cut the pumpkins. Cut pumpkin shapes from the cheddar with the cookie cutter, or cut a rounded body and a little stem by hand. Arrange them over the Margherita Four Cheese pizza, then scatter olive slices around them for the jack-o'-lantern look.
Top the ghost pizza. Scatter the crumbled sausage over the Uncured Pepperoni pizza. Place the ghosts on top and tuck basil leaves in between.
Bake. Place each pizza directly on the center oven rack, without a baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice and serve. Let the pizzas cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Then slice, serve and enjoy!

Tips for Clean Halloween Shapes

Cut the cheese cold. Shapes hold their edges best straight from the fridge, so cut them right before you top the pizzas.
Add the shapes late for sharper outlines. Cheese spreads as it melts. For crisper ghosts and pumpkins, bake the pizza for about 10 minutes, carefully slide out the rack with oven mitts and add the shapes for the final few minutes.
Keep the olive eyes tiny. Small pieces still read as eyes once the cheese melts around them, while big pieces can slide off.
Bake one at a time if needed. If both pizzas won't fit side by side on the center rack, bake them back to back. Each one only takes 13 to 15 minutes.
Hand off the decorating. Cutting is a grown-up job, but kids love placing the ghosts, pumpkins and olive eyes.

Make It With Any Milton's Pizza

We built this recipe on two of our favorites, but the ghost and pumpkin designs work on every pizza in the Milton's Craft Bakers Cauliflower Crust Pizza lineup. Pizzas with fewer toppings give the shapes a cleaner background, while loaded pizzas make a heartier party pie.

Hosting a crowd? The Roasted Vegetable Cauliflower Crust Pizza Costco 2 Pack gives you two pizzas in one box, one for the ghosts and one for the pumpkins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is an Easy At Home Halloween Pizza Recipe?

An easy at home Halloween pizza recipe starts with a frozen pizza and adds cheese cut into Halloween shapes. Top a Milton's Cauliflower Crust Pizza with mozzarella ghosts or cheddar pumpkins, add black olive eyes and bake straight from the freezer. Active time is about 15 minutes, and the pizza bakes in 13 to 15 more.

What Are Some Creative Ways to Make Halloween Themed Frozen Pizzas?

Cut cheese into ghosts or pumpkins, arrange olive slices into a spider web or lay cheese strips across the top for a mummy. Pepperoni works well for jack-o'-lantern eyes and mouths, and fresh basil adds a green accent. Our Spooky Halloween Pizzas guide walks through five more designs.

How Do You Make Cheese Ghosts for Pizza?

Cut ghost shapes from sliced fresh mozzarella or provolone with a small knife, giving each one a wavy bottom edge. Press two tiny bits of black olive onto each ghost for eyes. Set them on the pizza before baking, or add them for the last few minutes for sharper edges.

How Do You Keep Cheese Shapes From Melting Into Blobs?

Cut the shapes from cold cheese and add them during the final few minutes of baking instead of at the start. Slightly thicker slices also hold their outline longer. A little melting is part of the fun, so wobbly ghosts are welcome.
