Mummy pizzas are the perfect cute Halloween snack for kids! Plus, they’re super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

Whether you serve them as a party snack, a fun school lunch, or a Halloween night dinner before trick-or-treating, these cheesy mummy faces are guaranteed to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

Having fun doesn’t have to cost you, and these mummy pizzas are versatile. You’ll find options below to switch it up according to what’s already in your pantry and fridge.

Ways to Enjoy These Yummy Mummy Pizzas

• An after school snack: How fun is it to enjoy when the kids get home! My kids light up when they see this snack. They can help you make it too.

• A fun cold lunch for school in October: They’ll be in for a fun surprise in the cafeteria.

Add this cute joke to their lunch too: A zombie, a mummy, and a ghost bought a house. It has all the usual rooms except for one. What room won’t you find? (Answer: A living room)

• Movie Night Treat: It’s the perfect fun dinner as you cozy up for a family movie like Under Wraps, Mummies, or any family Halloween movie.

• Halloween Parties: Got a lot of kids to entertain? Have them help make them as part of the party! Just check on allergies first.

• Family Tradition: Let kids help make these before trick or treating on Halloween night. It’s quick, fun, and memory-making.

Mummy Pizzas Ingredients

• Bread slices (Any kind of bread you like)
• Pizza sauce
• Mozarella cheese (I bought a block and cut the cheese into thin strips)
• Olives (for the eyes)
• Red pepper (for the mouth)

How to Make Mummy Pizzas

You can make this fun Halloween snack two ways. I chose the faster, easier way in the pictures. This is an option for a quick snack that’s surprisingly cheap and healthy:

1. Toast your bread.
2. Spread the pizza sauce on.
3. Cut your mozarella and zig zag the cheeese over your bread.
4. Add olives for eyes and the pepper for a mouth.
5. Put your mummy pizzas in the microwave for 30 seconds or so to melt your cheese.

But if you prefer a more melty version and you have more time, this way is great too:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spread your bread out on a pan.
3. Spread the sauce on your bread and put on your toppings.
4. Stick your mummy pizzas in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Watch them towards the end to make sure they’re melty but not too brown.

Smart Money-Saving Tips

Now, this Halloween snack is already quite budget friendly. But you can make it even cheaper using these tips.

• Start with what you have. Check your fridge and pantry before going shopping for new supplies. Chances are, you’ll have at least a few of the items already.

• Buy bread wisely. You don’t need fancy bread to make this pizza fun. My kids are just as happy to eat it on regular sandwich bread.

• Make smart swaps:
  • Don’t have olives? Use capers, pine nuts, or cut your pepper into eyes instead.
  • Missing peppers? Swap out with another veggie you have. Or leave it out.
  • A can of tomato sauce can be used instead of pizza sauce. Dress it up by adding dried basil and oregano as you warm it up.
  • Use leftover buns or any bread product you’re trying to use up. You’ll waste less food too!

• Use store brands. Generic cheese, sauce, and olives are often just as good, for a fraction of the cost.

• Stretch with veggies. Add more olives and peppers as a filler and to bulk up your mummy pizza. You can also use other veggies like mushroom to make it even healthier.

• Buy in bulk: Warehouse clubs and bulk bins stretch your dollar when making this fun Halloween snack for multiple kids. We often get our pizza sauce and olives at Costco.
