"Fancy" Pizza Party
Casey 07/02/20	Hi Ellen, I'm trying to plan a "fancy" pizza party for about 15-20 adults. What do you think of the following menu: Artisan Bread, thin sliced and served with assorted toppings (olive tapanade, fig spread, roasted garlic, infused olive oil, etc). Antipasto tray Caesar salad Mint Melon Ball Salad Pasta with a Red Sauce (vegetable heavy, possibly gluten free) Pasta with a White Sauce Four large gourmet pizzas from a local resturant. I am worried that's not enough pizza, but that's why there's so many "sides" to round things out...any advice you can give is greatly appreciated...
ellen 07/03/20	"Fancy" Pizza Party This is plenty of food. Be sure the restaurant cuts 10 slices on the pizzas. Caesar salad About 6 hearts of romaine Mint Melon Ball Salad 5-6 pounds melon Pasta with a Red Sauce (vegetable heavy, possibly gluten free) Pasta with a White Sauce Gluten free for one is a good idea. 3 pounds total, 3 9x13, is sufficient. You will have leftovers!
