Birthday party pizza is a science. Here is how to get it right and keep every kid at the party happy.
How Many Pizzas for Kids
Children eat less than adults, but they are also unpredictable. A good rule for Chicago thin-crust tavern-cut pizza is one large pizza for every five to six kids aged five to ten. For younger children, you might get away with fewer. Always order one extra pie as a safety net.
Topping Strategy for Kids
Keep it simple. Cheese pizza is the safest bet and should make up at least half your order. Add one pepperoni pizza and maybe one with a mild topping like sausage. Avoid anything spicy, unusual, or divisive. You want every kid to have something they will eat.
Why Tavern Cut Works for Kids
Our square tavern-cut pieces are naturally kid-sized. Children can easily hold and eat a square piece without the drooping and mess of a large triangular slice. This means less mess, less waste, and happier parents.
Timing the Delivery
Plan your pizza to arrive about 30 to 45 minutes into the party. This gives kids time to play and build up an appetite. Pizza that arrives too early sits and gets cold. Pizza that arrives during the peak of activity gets ignored.
Setup Tips
Set up a separate pizza table away from the gift and cake areas. Place pizzas in their boxes with a stack of small plates and plenty of napkins. Having a designated eating area keeps the mess contained.
Do Not Forget the Adults
If parents are staying, they will eat too. Add an extra pizza or two with more sophisticated toppings like sausage and peppers or our Italian sausage for the adults.
