Pizza is known as a universal party food because it’s delicious, affordable, and suitable for just about any occasion. Whether you are planning a birthday bash, game day celebration, or even a retirement party, learn more about why you should order a few pies for your next event. 

Why Is Pizza a Perfect Party Food?

1. Something for Everyone

From pepperoni to anchovies, there are a wide variety of toppings, so everyone can find something they enjoy. If your party guests are kids, opt for classic options like cheese and meatball.

For adults or more adventurous eaters, you can experiment with flavors like eggplant, jalapeno, or even clams. Pizza is also an easy choice for vegetarians. 

2. It’s Portable

Some foods are difficult to transport. But pizza was invented with portability in mind. While you can sit down and eat a pie at a restaurant, it is also easy to call in a carryout order and take your meal anywhere, whether it’s home, the park, or the office.

Tables, seating, and even plates aren’t necessary to eat this dish, making it ideal for outdoor parties or events with many guests. 

3. It Serves Many People

Most adults eat about three slices, while most kids eat two per meal. Use those estimates to determine how many pies you’ll need to purchase. If you think your guests may be extra hungry, order sides and desserts too.

If there are leftovers, save them in the fridge or freezer to enjoy at a later date. Most pies keep well for three days in the refrigerator and can taste even better cold.

4. It’s Affordable & Convenient

Even if you get a variety of toppings, the cost of a slice of pizza per person is typically less than more elaborate plates. As such, ordering a few pies is the perfect way to feed everyone without breaking the bank. If you order ahead of time and pick up on your way to the event, you can save time as well as cash.
