Equipment
- parchment-lined baking sheet
- cutting board
- sharp knife
- oven
- spoon (for spreading sauce)
Ingredients
- 8 mini pizza crusts, English muffins, or small pita rounds
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can whole black olives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place mini crusts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each one.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
- Slice black olives: cut in half for spider bodies, then cut remaining halves into 8 thin strips for legs. Arrange 1 body and 8 legs on each pizza.

Notes
Try using green olives or cherry tomatoes for spider variations. Bell pepper or mushroom slices also work for legs and bodies. To create a web design, use a piping bag with ranch dressing. Assemble in advance and refrigerate up to 6 hours before baking.
