Top 10 Tips to Make Your Pizza Date Night in a Success

You can dine out at a romantic restaurant, snuggle up at the cinema or dance the night away but there are few people who can resist a pizza night in. Good pizza is a start but to make the night really memorable, follow these few tips below.

Having a group date can help take care of any nervous date jitters, so invite your favourite couples and friends over to keep the night casual and fun. The more the merrier!

There are so many fun options when it comes to themes. For a tropical theme, try serving a ham and pineapple pizza, hand out Hawaiian Leis for all the guests and pour fruity drinks. Spooky movie lovers can indulge in a bit of fun with scary movies, dim the lights for atmosphere and followed with a few spicy pizza toppings.

4. Scrap the washing up

Grab some good quality paper plates and cups to make sure there is minimal washing up at the end of the evening. Serve pizza the way it was meant to be enjoyed – with your hands! And make sure there are lots of serviettes to wipe up the messy goodness.

8. Dress Code: Comfort Wear

Pyjamas are optional but comfort chic should definitely be encouraged. The bonus of wearing loose, comfy clothes is not only feeling relaxed but there is more room for pizza!
