Mummy pizzas are so fun for halloween!
These mummy pizzas are one of my favorite easy Halloween snacks to make with the kids. They start with simple ciabatta rolls, and from there, it’s all about layering the “bandages” strips of zucchini and string cheese before popping them in the oven. The black olive “eyes” get me every time; they’re cute, a little creepy, and totally perfect for the theme.
I love that these mummy pizzas take less than 15 minutes start to finish, so they’re great for parties or a quick dinner before trick-or-treating. No dough to roll, no mess.
Happy Cooking!

Mummy Pizza Ingredients
- Bread: You’ll want to use some kind of longer, rectangular roll or loaf for these mummy pizzas. Ciabatta rolls are my favorite, but a French loaf will also work well.
- Pizza sauce: Any brand of store-bought pizza sauce will do! Marinara sauce will work, too.
- Zucchini: I like the flavor of zucchini with these Halloween themed pizzas but other ribboned vegetables like asparagus will also work for the mummy bandages on these pizzas.
- Cheese: Look for mozzarella string cheese to top your pizza for the “mummy bandages” effect.
- Black olives: Canned or jarred black olives are all you need for your mummy eyes.
How to Make Mummy Pizza
Mummy Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 zucchini
- 4 mozzarella string cheese
- 8 black olives slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zucchini into thin ribbon slices. Pull cheese into thin strips.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the bread. Lay zucchini ribbons across the bread at random criss-cross patterns to mimic mummy bandages. Lay the cheese across the zucchini at different angles. Place two slices of olives on each slice of bread to make the eyes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.

- Storage: This pizza is best served straight out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Just reheat in the microwave or the oven when you’re ready to eat, or enjoy it cold. Freezing is not recommended.

Recipe Tips
- Don’t go too crazy on the cheese. You want the Mummy bandages to have some definition when they melt, so criss cross them leaving some space in between each piece.
