It’s natural to feel excited and anxious over the anticipation of a first date. When deciding how to spend the afternoon or evening, consider going out for pizza. Sharing a meal at a restaurant is a nice way to engage in a one-on-one conversation in a comfortable and minimal distracting setting. Consider the following reasons to choose a pizza place if you’re on the fence about where to take your date. 

Why You Should Take Your Date for Pizza 

1. It’s a Popular Food

If you didn’t get a chance to talk to your date about food preferences and dietary restrictions, pizza is a pretty safe choice. A vegetarian won’t have to settle for the only non-meat option on the menu, and the variety of toppings provide an opportunity to include plenty of vegetables on the pie. However, meat lovers can also choose from several options, including pepperoni, sausage, and specialty meats.

2. Talking About Toppings Can Break the Ice

From classic pepperoni to pineapple, everyone has their favorite pizza toppings and pairings. Deciding what toppings to order can be a fun way to break the ice.

While making recommendations or vetoing suggestions, you and your date can learn more about each other’s food preferences. You can also talk about interesting or unusual toppings you’ve heard of or tried in the past. This can be a nice way to ease into the conversation and avoid any awkward silences. 

3. You’ll Get a Lot for a Little

While there are both casual and fancy pizza restaurants, this comfort food is relatively inexpensive compared to how much you might pay at other date-night establishments. This means you won’t strain your budget or leave hungry at the end of the date. If you order a large size, there will also be plenty of leftovers for each of you to take home.

If you’re craving a pizza for date night, stop by Riverfront Pizza & Sports Bar in Covington, KY. This restaurant is known for its Italian cuisine, including pizza, pasta, and hoagies. You and your date can break the ice by watching a game on their 50-inch televisions or playing pool. For carryout or delivery, call (859) 261-4800. Order online to save 10% on your first order.
