Your guests, kids and adults alike, will love a make-your-own-pizza party theme for Halloween. And you’ll love it too, since the perfect pizza dough can be made ahead, and then your guests will have the fun of making their own pizzas when they arrive. You provide the dough, ingredients, a ready-to-go grill or oven, and watch the fun!

Ingredients I love to have for making your own pizza parties are:

Meats: Pre-cooked Grilled Chicken Bacon Ground Beef and/ or Turkey Ham Shrimp

Sauces: Pesto Alfredo Sauce Red Sauce

Cheeses: Mozzarella Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese Feta

Additions: Pepperoni Black Beans Mushrooms Black Olives Garlic Onions Peppers Tomatoes Pineapple Fresh herbs of basil and oregano
