🧰 Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet

- Small saucepan
- Cutting board & knife
- Cookie cutters (ghost, pumpkin, bat shapes, optional)
🛒 Ingredients
For the tomato-garlic sauce:
- 1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 ⅔ tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the pizzas:
- 3 (10-inch) flour tortillas (used as mini pizza bases)
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (or tomato-garlic sauce above)
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice cheddar cheese

👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Make the sauce
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then blend until smooth.
Step 2: Prepare the tortilla bases
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a round cutter or glass to cut small circles out of the tortillas (about 3–4 inches wide). Place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Add the sauce
Spread 1–2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on each tortilla base.
Step 4: Decorate with toppings
- Use mozzarella slices cut into ghost or mummy shapes with cookie cutters.
- Place olive slices as eyes, mouths, or spiders.
- Add strips of cheddar cheese for “pumpkin” looks.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella for extra cheesiness.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and tortillas are crispy.
Step 6: Cool and serve
Allow pizzas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
