Pizza Expert Gives Advice on Rounding Out Your Super Bowl Party

Super Bowl Sunday may not actually be the biggest day of the year for pizza sales, but it's always in the top five, says Jeremy White, the editor-in-chief of Pizza Today magazine.

“Halloween, the day before Thanksgiving and Super Bowl Sunday are all big days for pizza,” said White. “It varies from year to year, with New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day rounding out the top five days."

At any rate, White is certainly a big advocate of ordering a few pies to enhance your Super Bowl viewing enjoyment.

“You definitely want to have pizza and a few good drinks on hand to avoid any letdown in (the) game,” he quipped.

Tips for rounding out your Super Bowl party

At the risk of sounding cheesy, White gets right to the crust of the matter when it comes to pizza and offers these tips:

• Pizza delivers variety – “The great thing about pizza is it is the most customizable food dish in the world,” he said. When ordering party pies, offer diversity in sauces and toppings. Everything from pineapple to shrimp can be placed on a pizza.
• Slicing up your order – “The most popular pizza is a 14-inch round,” said White. “Figure it will serve three adults, so if you have 15 people at your party, you will need five 14” pizzas.”
• Save yourself some time and dough – “Call your order in early, and I don’t mean 10 minutes before kick off. I mean an hour and a half to two hours before the game starts,” he said. Pizza joints know it’s a big day and they plan and staff for it, but odds are most of the calls will come in at once. If you really want to save yourself some time, pick it up yourself. Most stores should be able to have your order ready in 35-40 minutes and you'll save money on delivery fees, too.
