Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F), ensuring it’s fully heated for a crispy crust.
  2. Lightly flour a surface and roll out your pizza dough into a thin, rustic circle, aiming for slightly uneven edges for charm.

  5. Arrange black olives into spooky eyes or mouths, and place sliced bell peppers or pepperoni to create faces or fun shapes.
  6. Transfer the assembled pizza onto a preheated baking sheet or stone, then bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to set and flavors to meld.
  8. Finish by drizzling with herbs and chili oil for a burst of flavor and a spooky shimmer.
