I'm having a halloween party and I need a way to feed people pizza without it costing too much?

It'll start before dinner time so I have to provide something to eat and pizza makes the most sense since it's a lot of different people with different tastes and everyone likes pizza. There are also two vegetarians, so pizza makes that simple too. Me and one of my friends are co-hosting it and we are high school students with limited funds so we can't spend a fortune on pizza. There will be about 12-18 people at the party. Dominos no longer has the 555 or 777 deal and I haven't found any other deals like it to make buying a large amount of pizzas affordable. I thought about having everyone make their own pizzas but that would take forever to cook them all and if I make several pizzas ahead of time, they will be cold before we eat them. So any ideas?I'm having a halloween party and I need a way to feed people pizza without it costing too much?
Actually, no, pizza really doesn't make all that much sense especially when you consider that even some vegetarians don't eat pizza because of the cheese (which is considered an animal product in vegetarian dictionaries). There are also likely going to be people who come to your party who are on a diet and won't eat the pizza or who can't eat starches, don't eat beef or pork (sausage and pepperoni), are allergic to cheese or onions or even tomatoes. People's food palates and allergies have changed drastically over the years and it is hard to cater to everyone. If you plan to do pizzas, I suggest you also do sides like raw veggies, fresh fruits, chips and dips, and other things people who won't eat the pizza can fill up on instead. And have more than just sodas as a lot of people no longer drink them.



It's easy to serve a bunch of different people with party trays just from the grocery store. You can buy huge things of fruits and cheeses, veggies and dips, sandwiches, mini shrimps, chicken wings, and other finger foods. You can also buy a party plate of Halloween cookies and cupcakes. Set out plastic plates, napkins, and toothpicks (a lot) near each item.



You would spend about the same amount of money buying various types of pizzas and sides as you would buying the premade trays. And then you don't have to worry about the delivery time or the possibility that the order is wrong and that someone goes hungry because their cheeseless pizza didn't come.



Chik-Fil-A also does party trays, including fruit and veggies, although everything revolves around chicken so you'd still have to provide things for those who may be vegetarians. And seeing as they are fast food, I am betting they are fairly cheap. And they deliver.
mini pizzas....

english muffins, pizza sauce, cheese, variety of veggies, pepperoni

cut the muffins in half...let the guests prep their own pizzas.....you can cook at least 48 on 2 cookie sheets......



you could do a decent "spread" for about 50 bucks......



the muffins are small so maximum you would need is 2 cans of sauce, 1 large block of cheese should cover it....couple of sticks of pepperoni chopped up,



couple of bags of chips, some veggies and dip, something sweet and you will be good to goI'm having a halloween party and I need a way to feed people pizza without it costing too much?
Walmart sells store brand frozen pizza for under 7 bucks a large pie.



They are actually pretty darn good.



You can buy all cheese pizzas and add your own toppings too.



Just put them back in the box and cover w/ towels to insulate. That will keep them warm



Good luck!
well other you people can help just teach them if not them i think you and you party have to go to dion's or papa johns or even pizza hut I hope this helped
costco has good pizza cheap
If there's a Market Basket in your area, they have extremely good pizzas. If I'm correct, I think they sell 3 pizzas for $10, which is a pretty good deal. Make sure you get them in the frozen food sections, and not in the Market's kitchen area, because those are TERRIBLE!!! They have multiple different types including cheese, veggie (for vegetarians), pepperoni, everything, etc. They absorb a lot of heat, so they won't get too cold easily. After about 2 hours, they are luke-warm. Again, I don't know if you want to do that. To cook them a smaller amount of time, I would suggest defrosting them ahead. I hope this helps! :-)

you can get frozen pizza at the grocery store for $5 each or less. But that also involes cooking them, if that's not a problem, that's a good way to go. Little Cesars has the hot-n-ready for $5 each also, but that's limited to cheese or pepperoni.



At my last Halloween party, we did some pizza, some chips and salsa, candy...etc. We told people to come, we would provide all the food and they needed to bring something to drink. It worked out well.



Ask everyone to chip in two or three bucks for supplies, or ask them to bring something. But make sure you assign everyone specific things to bring, otherwise you'll end up with 12 liters of soda and no cups eh :)
