Preparation
Preheat oven to 450 F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the mini pizzas. Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl whisk together all of the pizza sauce ingredients, then spread a little bit of sauce on top of each mini pizza. Top the pizzas with the shredded mozzarella then place in the oven to bake for about 8 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
Slice 4 of the olives in half lengthwise and slice 4 of them in half down the center, to create the body and head of the spiders. Then slice a few in half lengthwise and thinly slice the halves to create the legs. See photo.
Remove the mini pizzas from the oven and arrange the olives on top of them creating the spiders.
