Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1 cup marinara sauce, preferably with a smoky flavor
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices or spicy salami
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Optional: red chili flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface to your desired thickness, aiming for a round shape that fits your baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking tray or pizza stone. Spread the marinara sauce evenly, leaving a border for the crust. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add the pepperoni slices, black olives, red bell pepper strips, and red onion slices in a chaotic pattern to mimic the Upside Down.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Broil for 1-2 more minutes for a charred, spooky effect.
- Remove from oven, garnish with basil leaves, and drizzle with olive oil. Slice and serve warm for a spooky, supernatural experience.
Notes
- Use a high-quality dough for best texture and flavor.
- Experiment with smoky or spicy sauces for added depth.
- Arrange toppings chaotically to enhance the upside down aesthetic.
- Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste or theme.
