Ideas For Hosting A Pizza Party

I’m sharing Ideas for Hosting a Pizza Party with International Flair, with decor, recipes, and tips. This is a fun casual dinner party idea that you can enjoy with friends or family.Ideas for hosting a pizza party Today I’m hosting the perfect Pizza Party! This gourmet pizza party has an international twist as reflected in the decor, the pizza flavors, and the desserts. If you want a delicious and casual dinner party theme, I’ve got you covered!

The scene is set with Autumn colors and patterns and travel related props. The menu represents 3 locations from around the world: Hawaiian pizza = USA, Italian pizza = Italy, & Mediterranean = Greece. You could make the pizzas yourself, have guests make them as part of the fun of the evening, or order from your favorite restaurant.

For this party design I used luggage tags as place card holders which also double as a favor for guests. Apple cider is served in flip top bottles and pizza is placed on the table family-style alleviating the need for a centerpiece. Themed labels for the pizza flavors were made using map graphics of each region. You can find my recipes for the Hawaiian pizza and Italian pizza previously posted; the Mediterranean was ordered from our favorite pizzeria and includes grilled chicken, spinach & artichokes on a white garlic sauce (yummm).

For an inviting dessert table I used small suitcases & mini globes for an interesting display. Once again the food reflects international tastes: French macarons, Italian tiramisu style dessert, and classic American {mini} pies. The pies are another great take-home favor since they are individually packaged.

Ideas for Hosting a Pizza Party 

  • Turn your pizza party into an international travel theme by incorporating different flavors from around the world.
  • Use fun props like mini globes & suitcases, maps, luggage tags, etc. to reinforce the theme.
  • Make pizzas ahead of time and pop in the oven as guests arrive, OR have them make the pizzas as part of the fun. Order your favorite flavor from a restaurant for even easier planning.
  • No need for a centerpiece when you serve the pizzas family-style.
  • Serve desserts from around the world: pastries from France, creamy delights from Italy, all-American pies from the US.
  • Send guests home with themed favors like a luggage tag or boxed mini pie.

      Hi Tammy,
      All I did was put a black dish on top of a wide candle stick & use Glue Dots to hold the dish in place.
      Easy Peasy 🙂

    What a beautiful party! I love the international theme you tied in, and the luggage tags are a fabulous idea too. I think one of the greatest things about a pizza party is that it’s so great for all ages. What a fun party to share with family and friends!
