Let’s face it; there is really nothing better than having the boys all come around to your place to watch the footy on the TV. Be it a weekend game, a mid-week game or the State of Origin, we love to get together, have a few laughs, jokes, rib each other, just catch up and enjoy watching the game together. Especially if it’s a Friday night game – end of the working week, and a time to have a few beers and relax.
Of course, while we all love our footy – and our beer, it’s Aussie culture and in our nature after all. Getting together with mates is also a big part of the fun. Hearing stories, trading jokes and insults, all in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Some of your mates might be married or may have kids, but it’s that one night you can get out of the house and hang with your mates.
Of course, no footy night catch up is complete without something to eat. No one likes to cook, so either ordering in some food, or having a mate pick food up on the way over it doesn’t matter. Take away means no cooking, no cleaning up and no mess. Pizza is without a doubt the best *getting the mates around to watch the footy* food on the planet. It’s so easy to order, it can be home delivered, or you can pick it up, and you can get a range of different pizza’s so you know there will be something there everyone will love.
Don’t forget that bonus – if there are any left overs – cold for breakfast the next morning – win – win!
There are some great pizzas on the menu when you need a few options to feed those hungry lads, most of us have a mate or two who can polish off a whole pizza – single handed! When ordering pizza’s, it’s always a good idea to get a couple of different ones anyway – not everyone likes spicy pizza, or garlic on a pizza, so always keep that in mind.
Our top picks for the perfect pizzas to serve on footy night are –
- Tandoori Pizza – served with marinated chicken breast, Spanish onions, capsicum, cherry tomatoes and topped with Greek yoghurt – perfect for those mates who enjoy their Indian food.
- Spicy Lamb – perfect for your mates who like a bit of *bite* to their pizza – layers of spicy lamb, baby spinach, onions, feta cheese, jalapenos and fresh lemon, topped with Greek Yoghurt and more lemon!
- Deluxe pizza – well you can never go past a deluxe pizza – a different take on the standard *supreme* pizza – smoked ham with hot salami, tiger prawns, Spanish onion, mushroom, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, garlic, herbs and lemon – this one has got it all
- Meat Deluxe – this is without a doubt THE BEST pizza for those who really don’t want anything fancy – and who don’t want vegetables on their pizza – this one is all about meat with no veggies in sight – BBQ base topped with smoked ham, hot salami, chorizo, spiced beef and bacon bits. It’s a meat lover’s pizza paradise – maybe you should order two.
- Aussie, Aussie, Aussie – no footy night is complete without the Aussie Pizza, plain, simple and loved by everyone – ham, bacon, onion and egg. It doesn’t get any more Australian than that!
While footy night with the mates is all about pizza, beer and your favourite football teams going head to head, why not *shake things up* and add some sides, why not try adding a serve of Homestyle pasta – spaghetti, tortellini, penne or lasagne bolognese served with a range of sauce options – or – a yummy dessert. Churros with chocolate dipping sauces, gelato, choc lava cake or a salted caramel chocolate mousse.
When you have mates round, ordering pizza is the best option, just get pizzas or add sides, dessert or even some drinks. Good food, a good game and good mates – it’s a great night in.
