You can find full printable recipe below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure along with step-by-step photos.
1 to 4. Make cheese skulls - Cut skull shapes from mozzarella cheese slices using a skull cookie cutter. Punch out two holes for eyes using the big round end of the piping tip, like in Halloween poptarts and mouth using the pointed end (refer video).
5. Place naan bread on a cookie sheet and brush a thin coating of olive oil all over the naan. Bake for about 2 minutes at 400 degrees and then remove.

6 & 7. Spread tomato sauce all over the naan, top with cheese skulls, cutting to fit if needed. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, making sure that the cheese doesn't melt too much.
Tip: Keep a watchful eye to make sure that the cheese melts just slightly, preserving the integrity of the skull face in the Halloween pizza.
8. Top the baked Halloween pizza with olive spiders - Cut a large olive vertically in half and place a half on the pizza. Cut the tip of the remaining half to make the head. Cut legs from remaining olive and place around the body.
How to make in air fryer?
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 2 to 4 minutes.
- Brush naan bread with olive oil, season with salt, and place in the air fryer basket; cook until golden in color.
- Open basket spread naan with sauce and cheese skulls and continue baking at 370°F for another 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese begins to melt.
- Remove Halloween pizza, and top with olive spiders and fresh basil.
