Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base and Sauce
- 1 package prebaked mini 8-inch pizza crusts (e.g., Boboli)
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
Toppings
- 2 (1 oz each) mozzarella string cheese
- 3 large pitted black olives
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Crusts: Heat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the mini prebaked pizza crusts on a baking sheet and spread the pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
- Create the Cheese Web: Pull the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips and arrange them on top of the sauced crusts in the shape of a spiderweb, ensuring the web covers the pizza surface.
- Bake the Pizzas: Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted thoroughly. After baking, let them cool for about 3 minutes to set the toppings.
- Assemble the Spiders: Prepare the black olives to resemble spiders. Cut off one end from two whole olives to serve as the spider heads. Halve the remaining olives lengthwise to create the spider bodies and slice the rest into thin strips to form legs. Arrange the olive pieces on each pizza over the cheese web to form spiders.
Notes
- Use prebaked pizza crusts for quicker preparation and a crisp base.
- For a more dramatic look, add a little shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness on the web.
- Black olives are used here for visual effect; substitute for green or Kalamata olives if preferred.
- To keep the pizza crust crisp, avoid overloading the toppings.
- Serve warm for best flavor and melted cheese texture.
