Equipment
- baking sheet or pizza stone
- pastry brush
- knife or piping bag for cheese web design
- oven
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (tomato or marinara)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve some for web)
- 12 black olives, halved and sliced for spider bodies and legs

- Optional toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions
- 1 tsp dried oregano or basil (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to pizza dough instructions.
- Roll out dough into a circle or rectangle and place on baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush crust edges lightly with olive oil.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a border.
- Sprinkle most of the mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface.
- Use reserved cheese to create concentric circles, then connect with straight lines to form a spider web design.

- Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, about 12–15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool slightly, and serve warm.
Notes
Make mini spider web pizzas using English muffins or pita bread for kids. Mix cream cheese with mozzarella for a sturdier web effect. Add Halloween props like spider rings or cobweb cloth for festive presentation.
