It’s spooky enough to impress the kids, tasty enough to please the adults, and—best of all—simple enough that you won’t feel like a zombie yourself after making it.

This recipe is cozy, cheesy, and packed with personality. Think: edible ghosts, veggie “gravestones,” and a playful graveyard scene all baked onto golden, crispy flatbread. Dinner and décor in one.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 pound flatbread dough (homemade or store-bought—no judgment zone here)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup pizza sauce
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 slices of mozzarella cheese (cut into ghost shapes with a cookie cutter or freehand)
½ cup black olives (whole and sliced)
1 cup cauliflower florets (small, bite-sized pieces)
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Cemetery Flatbread Pizza

Preheat & prep: Heat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
Shape the base: Roll out your flatbread dough into a rectangle to fit the pan. Brush with olive oil.
Build your layers: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges. Sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella.
Add the “landscape”: Scatter cauliflower florets across the top. They’ll roast up beautifully.
Bake the first round: Pop it in the oven for 8 minutes, until the cheese melts and edges begin to crisp.
Bring on the ghosts: Remove the pizza, add your mozzarella ghost cutouts, and press sliced olives into them for eyes and mouths. Scatter whole or halved olives to act like little gravestones.
Bake again: Return to the oven for 5–7 more minutes, until the ghosts are melty but still recognizable (no ghostly puddles, please!) and the crust is golden brown.
Finishing touch: Let cool slightly, sprinkle with parsley or cilantro for that overgrown graveyard vibe, slice, and serve warm.

Tips for Making the Best Cemetery Flatbread Pizza

Ghost hack: No ghost cookie cutter? No problem! Just use kitchen scissors to snip wavy edges in mozzarella slices. It’s spooky chic.
Veggie swap: Broccoli florets, mushrooms, or even bell pepper strips can all join the graveyard scene.
Make it ahead: Assemble everything except the ghosts, cover, and refrigerate. Add your ghosts and gravestones right before the final bake.
