Three small pizzas, decorated to resemble faces, sit on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The pizzas have a tomato sauce base and are topped with shredded cheese. Each face uses different toppings for features: one has spinach hair, cucumber noses, tomato mouths, and blueberry eyes; another substitutes sliced sausage for the spinach and tomato; and the last uses a combination of sausage, tomato, and cucumber along with the blueberries and cheese. The baking sheet rests on a light wooden table. These pizzas are clearly designed to be fun and appealing to children.

Sometimes, mini versions of food are always more appealing to children. From tomato sauce to cheese and colourful vegetables, children can let their creativity run wild! Let's try this simple and fun mini pizza recipe and see who can make the silliest pizza face!

An overhead flatlay image shows ingredients and tools for making mini pizzas arranged on a light wood-grained surface. A small, off-white bowl contains shredded cheese. A white bear-shaped dish holds sliced pepperoni, tomato slices, blueberries, and spinach leaves. A small, clear container holds tomato sauce. A roll of parchment paper lies near a small baking sheet with a single small pizza crust on it. A white spoon and a gray butter knife complete the scene. This image appears to be set up for a child or for demonstrating a simple pizza-making activity.

Step-by-step tutorial

Step 1

Use a spoon to spread pizza sauce evenly on the pizza base. Preheat the oven at 200°C for 5 minutes.

Two hands wearing clear plastic gloves are preparing small pizza crusts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. One hand holds a small white spatula and is spreading tomato sauce onto a crust. The other hand steadies the baking sheet. A second crust, already spread with sauce, sits next to it. A bowl of shredded cheese and other ingredients are visible in the background on a light wooden table, suggesting this is part of a pizza-making process.

Step 2

Spread mozzarella cheese over the sauce-covered base.

Two small pizza crusts topped with tomato sauce and shredded cheese sit on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The baking sheet rests on a light wood-grained table. Other pizza toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, blueberries, and spinach, are visible in a dish in the background, indicating that these pizzas are in the process of being assembled.

Step 3

Cut your favourite toppings into small pieces using a knife, and use your imagination to arrange them on the prepared pizza base to create your favourite pizza face.

Step 4

Place the completed pizza face in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, then enjoy your delicious creation!

Two small pizzas decorated as faces are placed on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, which sits on a light wooden table. Both pizzas have tomato sauce and shredded cheese. The first pizza uses spinach for hair, blueberries for eyes, a cucumber slice for a nose, and shredded tomato for a mouth. The second pizza uses spinach for hair, pepperoni slices for eyes, a blueberry for a nose, and a cucumber stick for a mouth. These fun pizzas are likely designed for children.
