In honor of Landon’s birthday this year, we are sharing inspiration for our favorite build your own pizza bar parties!
This year for Landon’s birthday, we celebrated it, as he would say – “sorority style,” meaning he had a week long celebration (that lucky guy)! We started the week off with a fun gathering with all his friends at Peticolas Brewery to enjoy good beer and games, had a delicious dinner just the two of us at his favorite restaurant, Texas de Brazil, and completed the week long celebration with a make your own pizza bar party with our family!
Now I have to admit – the pizza bar party started off a little selfish. We have been so bogged down with moving and unpacking, that I just didn’t have the energy to make a full sit down meal for everyone, plus I honestly don’t know where all our kitchen supplies are right now – HA! No matter what the motivation was – this ended up being one of the best birthday parties we have ever thrown!
The pizza bar was a total hit! It was interactive, fun, creative and everyone could personalize their meal to their preference!
So – How to set up a pizza bar!
- I purchased a bunch of these ready to bake pizza dough from Trader Joe’s, cut them into quarters, and rolled them out so each package made 4 mini pizzas.
- We laid out the dough for our family, along with an assortment of sauces or bases such as marinara, pesto, olive oil, buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, and spinach artichoke dip.
- From there we had a large selection of toppings – everywhere from freshly cut veggies to some of our favorite meat toppings. You can get as creative as you want here!
- Then, of course, we provided an assortment of cheeses such as mozzarella, goat, feta, and brie so our guests could top off their little creation!
- Finally, all our guests had to do was hand it over to me to pop in the oven and 10 minutes later they had their own pizza creation!
Simple and easy, yet it was the perfect way to celebrate my pizza loving husband’s birthday in a fun, casual and interactive way!
Give this party idea a shot for your next gathering! And to help inspire you, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite pizza bar party setups! Enjoy!
