What Are Halloween Mummy Pizzas?

Halloween Mummy Pizzas (also called mummy toasts) are a creative twist on mini pizzas. Instead of a traditional dough base, slices of sandwich bread are topped with tomato sauce, sliced cheese arranged like bandages, and black olives for eyes. The result? A fun and ghoulish “mummy” face that’s equal parts adorable and delicious. Popular during spooky season, these bites are perfect for Halloween parties, school treats, or themed dinners.

Pro Tips for the Best Mummy Pizzas

• Use thick-cut cheese like mozzarella or provolone so the "bandages" stay visible after melting.
• Pre-toast the bread for a crispier texture before adding toppings.
• Add flavor by mixing garlic powder or chili flakes into the sauce.
• Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free bread.
• Use cookie cutters to shape the bread into pumpkins, ghosts, or other fun Halloween shapes!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Pizza Dough Instead of Bread?

Yes! Roll out pizza dough, cut into rectangles or circles, and bake with toppings for a more traditional mini pizza version.

What Type of Cheese Works Best?

Mozzarella is ideal because it melts evenly, but cheddar or provolone can also be used for fun color and texture.

Can I Make These Ahead of Time?

You can prep the bread and toppings in advance, but bake them just before serving for the best texture.

Do These Work for School Lunches?

Definitely! Once cooled, they can be packed into lunchboxes, though the cheese won’t be as melty.

Can I Add Other Toppings?

Yes—try thin slices of pepperoni or bell pepper under the cheese for extra flavor and color.

Are These Vegetarian?

Yes, as written. Just double-check your cheese and sauce for any non-vegetarian additives if needed.

How to Store Halloween Mummy Pizzas

If you have leftovers, allow them to cool completely, then place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes to regain the melted, crispy texture.

How to Freeze Halloween Mummy Pizzas

To freeze, prepare the pizzas up to the point of baking. Place them on a tray and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen at 360°F (180°C) for 5–6 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
