Spooky season on the patio needed a pizza. Not a regular pizza — a skull.

It starts with pizza dough pressed into a skull mold, then loaded the only way pizza should be loaded: pepperoni, pizza sauce, and a pile of mozzarella. Fold it over, seal it up, and into the Blackstone pizza oven it goes.

What comes out is golden, crisp, and unmistakably a skull — and when you pull one apart, the cheese pull is the best special effect of the season.

Skull pizza pockets. Halloween party food will never be the same.

Why This One Works

The mold does the heavy lifting. It shapes the dough, seals in the filling, and gives every pocket those crisp, browned edges — while the pizza oven heat keeps the crust golden instead of soggy.

And the pepperoni-mozzarella combo is a classic for a reason: salty, melty, and built for a pull.

Made for Halloween

Set a tray of these out at a Halloween party and watch them vanish. They're handheld, they're spooky, and they're gone before the first trick-or-treater hits the door.

That's the Daddio way — fire, flavor, and a little bit of fright.
