These Quick Mummy Pizza Bites are a fun and easy Halloween snack made with refrigerated pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. Ready in under 20 minutes, they’re perfect for parties and weeknight treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 24 to 30 slices mini pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara (for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup additional pizza sauce or marinara (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough. Gently stretch it into a rectangle about 12×8 inches.
  4. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into strips about 1/2-inch wide (about 12 to 14 strips).
  5. Cut the mozzarella block into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cubes).
  6. Place one cheese cube at one end of a dough strip. Wrap the dough strip around the cheese, overlapping slightly, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Repeat with all cheese cubes.
  7. Arrange the wrapped mummies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  8. Brush each mummy with the garlic oil mixture.
  9. Press two mini pepperoni slices into the exposed cheese gap on each mummy for eyes.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  11. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid sogginess. If dough strips stick, sprinkle with more flour. If cheese leaks during baking, call them ‘zombie mummies’ and enjoy. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
