There’s nothing I enjoy more than hosting a fun party, but sometimes the time and effort it takes to cook for, set up, and decorate the party can get exhausting. That’s why, as a smart hostess, there are occasions when I decide to keep life simple by getting food catered.

Since catering can often get expensive, going for a budget-friendly (but still crowd-pleasing) alternative is a good idea, especially for low-key get-togethers. A perfect example is ordering pizza from Domino’s with their new Domino’s Hotspots®Instead of just delivering to your home, this new service delivers your order to Domino’s Hotspots all over the city. From a music festival to a tailgating party, this service enables you to take your party on-the-go.

To learn how this service works, I recently hosted a pizza party at a park by ordering food to a  Domino’s Hotspot. I have to be honest – it was literally the easiest and most effortless party I’ve ever thrown! The table set-up took 15 minutes (read on to learn how) and the food arrived hot and ready to eat.

Tips for Planning Your Pizza Party Menu

When you’re entertaining food-fussy guests (some are gluten-free, or vegetarian), what’s great about ordering from Domino’s is that you can choose from a variety of delicious dishes.

From a wide range of pizzas to Specialty Chicken topped with tomatoes, bacon, and cheese, to fresh summer salads with walnuts, chicken and apples and even decadent Marbled Cookie Brownie™ desserts, there’s no shortage of tasty options. To complete your party menu, they also offer beverages, dipping cups, and more.

With their $5.99 Mix & Match deal, hosting a great party doesn’t have to break the bank. To prove how much more bang you can get for your buck, all the food showed here came out to $50. Pretty impressive, huh?!

Now that you’ve got the food and beverages figured out, it’s time to get your table set up.

While the idea of planning a picnic in the park sounds novel, it’s often more challenging than expected. What usually requires a couple of trips back-and-forth to the car, can actually be done in one run (when planned right).

Tips for Table Set-up

  • Get a large carrying tray (with handles) to neatly pack all your entertaining essentials (like plates, platters, bowls, utensils, etc.).
  • Since picnic tables are often grimy (or have unsightly stains on them), pack a colorful, eye-catching tablecloth.
  • Pack coordinating serving ware, such as a salad bowl, dessert plate, and a few platters for appetizers.
  • Keep napkins from flying away in the wind by tethering them down with a weighted object (like a mason jar filled with plastic utensils).

Elevate Your Pizza Party

If you want to elevate your pizza party, add a finishing touch with flowers.

Since colorful flowers always add vibrancy and cheer to any table, swing by a market to pick up a bouquet of flowers on your way to the park so that they’re fresh. When you get to the park, put the flowers in a water-filled mason jar (which is easy to pack and adds a cute vintage touch).
