Pizza during the holidays might seem unconventional, but it is actually a time-honored tradition for many families.
The Christmas Eve Pizza Tradition
In many Italian-American families, Christmas Eve is celebrated with a Feast of the Seven Fishes, but for others, pizza has become the go-to Christmas Eve meal. It is easy, everyone loves it, and it frees the family from kitchen duties so they can focus on being together. This tradition has spread beyond Italian-American households to become a popular choice for families of all backgrounds.
The Post-Cooking Break
Thanksgiving and Christmas involve days of meal preparation. By the time December 25th and 26th arrive, many home cooks are exhausted. Pizza provides a delicious, zero-effort meal that gives the cook a well-deserved break. Nobody judges you for ordering pizza during the holidays; they thank you.
Kids and Pizza
Children love pizza more than almost any other food. During holiday gatherings where kids might be indifferent to the roast or casserole, pizza ensures they eat well and stay happy. Our tavern-cut squares are perfect for little hands.
Holiday Hosting Made Simple
If you are hosting overnight guests during the holidays, pizza is a lifesaver for casual meals between the big events. A lunch of Chicago thin-crust pizza from Mad Pizza feeds everyone without requiring any cooking or cleanup.
