GET READY FOR GAME DAY WITH A PIZZA PARTY!

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY DIGIORNO PIZZA Football season is in full swing and we're all rooting for our favorite team in hopes that they'll make it to the big game! Whether you're a die-hard fan (you know I am!), or just supportive of your family's love for the game, chances are there's a game day party in your future. Today, we are sharing some great ideas for food, drinks, and decor to make your party table football fan ready thanks to DIGIORNO Pizza! The best part about these ideas? They are all simple + easy to put together so you can spend less time in the kitchen, and more time cheering on your favorite team! Tip #1: Start off by personalizing our free printable invitation to send out to your guests. It's a great way to get everyone excited for game day! Tip #2: Serve a variety of DIGIORNO Original RISING CRUST pizza on your buffet table to satisfy every fan! We chose the classics: Original RISING CRUST Pepperoni and Original RISING CRUST Four Cheese. So delicious! DIGIORNO pizza helps you rise to the occasion because it is piping hot and crispy, straight out of the oven, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time focused on the game. Tip #3: This "Touchdown" Paper Runner from Hester & Cook is the perfect addition to your game day party table! We also used the table runner to make this adorable banner! Simply cut triangles using the yard lines as your guide and string with twine! Tip #4: Our free printable "Game Day" art print adds the perfect focal point for the party table! Simply download, print and place in a simple frame to tie in the football theme! Tip #5: Don't forget the drinks! We used French square plastic bottles with cute striped straws and filled them with root beer! To make the football threads, we used the Cricut Explore to cut white vinyl to stick on the bottles. Tip #6: Serve an easy to make and delicious side to accompany your pizza, like this Caprese Pasta Salad. Caprese Pasta Salad via pip & ebby Ingredients 16-oz. box Rotini pasta, cooked and drained 8-oz. container grape tomatoes, halved 8-oz. package Mozzarella pearls 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil 1/4 cup pesto 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar Salt and pepper, to taste Directions: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Cover and chill until ready to serve! Tip #7: What's a party without dessert? Pick up or bake your favorite cupcakes! We made ours in striped baking cups to match the football theme and added cute little candy footballs! Ready to host your own game day celebration? Be sure to serve DIGIORNO Original RISING CRUST pizza for your next celebration and make it memorable!
