Originally posted on Hungry Halloween on June 14, 2010. I always loved this vampire pizza so I thought I’d bring it out of the cobwebs to share with you again.

_________

Our current love affair with vampires is creating such a frenzy for themed parties and food that I decided to create a vampire inspired dish.

Pizza is always the first food to get devoured at my parties, so I just had to have some fun turning a pizza into a vampire for our party.

I am so excited about how this Halloween meal turned out that I even gave him a name, Count Pizzala! My vampire pizza has black olive eyes, black olive hair, a roasted red pepper smile, and garlic fangs.

I am certain my Halloween party guests are going to love this.

Top a round of pizza dough with sauce, mozzarella cheese, black olives, roasted red peppers, and garlic to create this cute Vampire Pizza for Halloween.

How to make a Halloween Pizza Vampire

You’ll need:

Ingredients:

1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (11 oz.)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup jumbo pitted black olives, drained
1 (4-inch) strip roasted red pepper or sun-dried tomato
2 narrow garlic cloves, peeled

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 12” x 18” baking pan with parchment paper.

Roll out and cut a large circle out of your pizza crust then add two small circles of dough on either side for the vampire's ears and one round ball in the center for the nose.

Shape the Vampire Pizza

  • Unroll pizza dough onto the parchment-lined pan.
  • Cut a 10” circle in the center of the dough.
  • Remove the excess dough and set it on a cutting board.
  • Cut three 2 1/2” circles from the excess dough.
  • Place two of the small circles of dough on either side of the large dough circle to form the vampire’s ears.
  • Roll the remaining dough circle into a ball and place it on the large dough circle for the vampire’s nose.
  • Bake for 6-7 minutes until the dough is lightly golden brown.

Top the vampire shaped pizza crust with pizza sauce.

  • Remove from oven and add toppings.
  • Spread pizza sauce over entire dough except for the nose.

Top the vampire shaped pizza with mozzarella cheese.

  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over sauce.
  • Don’t cover the nose.

Decorate the vampire shaped pizza with black olive eyes, chopped olive hair, a roasted red pepper smile, and garlic clove fangs.

Decorate Count Pizzala

  • Cut one jumbo black olive in half lengthwise.
    • These olive halves will be the vampire’s eyes.
  • Place above and to either side of his nose.
  • Finely chop remaining olives.
    • The chopped olives will become the vampire’s hair.
  • Sprinkle the chopped olives all along the top of the vampire’s head forming his pointed brow.* (see notes below)
  • Add the strip of roasted red pepper for his mouth and attach two garlic clove fangs.
    • If your garlic cloves aren’t shaped like a fang, cut them into a curved point.

Return the vampire pizza to the oven and bake for 6-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve hot.

Notes for creating the vampire’s brow:

  • To easily form the vampire’s brow, place two equal-size bowls over the vampire’s face.
  • The bowls should meet at the center of the vampire’s face to form the point in his brow.
  • Sprinkle the olives around the bowls.
  • Remove the bowls.
  • You will now have a clean looking hairline.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. This recipe is easy enough to have your kids help. Get creative, if your kids wont eat olives, use sausage or hamburger for the hair. If you want more toppings on your pizza, just put them under the cheese.

    Heh. I was going to ask, "but how did you get the olives only on his hair, instead of all over" but you answered that already. Great job!
