A savory pizza featuring a pesto base and dark-colored toppings for a spooky appearance.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (12 inch)
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  5. Distribute the black olives and red onion over the cheese layer.
  6. Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
  7. Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the toppings.

  • Use purple or black heirloom tomatoes if available for extra color.
