How to Make Pizza Mummies for Halloween
Tips and Tricks
- Prep Ahead of Time: You can prep a batch of these pizza mummies in the morning, place them on a plate, cover loosely with foil and refrigerate. When ready to eat, pop them in the oven for a few minutes and enjoy!
- Cheese variety: If your little ones aren’t fans of mozzarella sticks, you can use shredded mozzarella or any other mild cheese that melts well. Also, note that cheeses that are lower fat or fat free don’t melt as well as full fat options.
- Get creative with toppings: While mozzarella and olives are classic, feel free to add your own twist! Pepperoni eyes, bell pepper mouths, or even a sprinkle of parmesan for extra mummy “dust” can be fun alternatives.
FAQs
Absolutely! Just reduce the cooking time a bit—air fry at 375°F for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is rare in my house), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to get them crispy and melty again.

Made these with the mummy dogs and they were a tasty hit. I used long shredded mozz which worked fine. Easy and festive – thanks Catherine!
Glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
Yum! Yum! Yum! I had to search for the recipe for my daughter and suddenly I found this pizza recipe. This one is a very delicious surprise for my daughter and she really likes this. Thank you so much for this recipe and for giving such a yummy and easy recipe.
I’m definitely doing this, prepping them in the morning and popping them in the oven before trick or treating! Yes!!! Thanks!
Cute idea!!! I’m going to try this tomorrow with whole wheat sandwich thins…maybe not keep it in so long though. Yay! My 2 yr old will love this!

Ha ha! Great idea, the kids will love them!
so easy & cute..
i have a Halloween birthday party coming up and will be making it for the kids.
Oh no! What type of cheese are you using? Where in the oven are you placing the baking sheet? You may need to place it lower in the oven. Also, I have noticed that lower fat and fat free cheese don’t melt quite the same as full fat versions!
Jennifer – do you have full fat or low fat cheese? I’ve found that low fat cheese doesn’t melt so well. That could be it.
I have tried this two times and my cheese never melts 🙁 It just burns.
“put them on top of the trees” lol! : )
These made me laugh out loud – too cute ! My boy will have a blast making them.
