Who doesn’t love a pizza party? For commercial pizzerias, throwing a themed pizza event isn’t just fun—it’s a strategic way to build community, increase foot traffic and show off your menu. Here are five ways to throw a pizza party that’s both memorable and profitable.
1. Host a "Build Your Own Pizza" Night
Let customers step behind the line—figuratively. Offer a menu of sauces, toppings and crust styles that guests can mix and match to create their own pizza. Fire them up in your LloydPans to show off those signature bakes. Offer prizes for the most creative combo and feature fan favorites on your menu for a limited time.
LloydPans Tip: Use our Sicilian-Style Pizza Pan or Quik-Disk to bake multiple pizzas at once while maintaining quality and consistency.
2. Run a Local Pizza Bake-Off
Invite local pizzaiolos and influencers to compete in a friendly pizza challenge using your kitchen. Let customers vote or bring in guest judges to pick a winner. This kind of event is social media gold and can help you cross promote with other businesses.
Bonus: Feature the winning pie as a weekly special.
3. Throw a Throwback Pizza Party
Tap into nostalgia with an ‘80s, ‘90s or Y2K-themed pizza party. Think retro arcade games, themed pizza specials (Bagel Bites-inspired mini pies?), and curated playlists. This is a great way to tap into newstalgia and bring in families or millennials reliving their youth.
LloydPans Tip: Use our Bar/Tavern-Style Pizza Pans to create retro tavern-style pies that match the theme.
4. Launch a Seasonal Pizza Pairing Event
Pair pizzas with local craft beers, natural wines or housemade sodas for a multicourse pizza tasting night. It’s elevated, educational and very Instagrammable. Add seasonal or local ingredients to show off your creativity.
Pro Tip: LloydPans’ Long Pans hold up beautifully in fast-paced, high-volume, shareable events like these.
5. Celebrate National Pizza Days (with a Twist)
Whether it’s National Pizza Day (Feb 9), National Cheese Pizza Day (Sept 5) or even National Pineapple Pizza Day (June 27), these built-in holidays are a great excuse to celebrate. Create limited edition pies, giveaways or pizza-making demos using your LloydPans as the star of the show.
Get Social: Post behind-the-scenes looks at your pans in action and offer “name that pie” contests to keep the buzz going.
Pizza parties can be more than just a slice of fun—they’re a smart marketing tool. With the right theme and the right pans (hint, it’s LloydPans) your pizzeria can create memorable experiences with the best food to party with.
