It’s easy and convenient to buy your party food when hosting a party like NYE. Order a pizza, pick up a veggie tray, maybe a deli tray. This year we chose to make everything homemade. Made a deep dish and a regular (thicker crust) pizza, coney sauce for coney dogs and a dip for tortilla chips. Also cut up some veggies for a vegetable platter – we bought the French onion dip. Here are pics of the pizzas.

It was a pain to do so much on our own. But it’s rewarding in the end because you save a lot of money by making your own party food. In the past we’d order a party pizza, a veggie platter, fried chicken and jojos and/or wings. Any combination of those or even all of it if you had a lot of people coming over.

My advice is if you host parties and typically purchase takeout items like we did per above – consider tackling it with homemade instead. Hard work but worth it. Take the day off ahead of time though!

    Pizza shops charge like $20+ per pizza. Homemade is maybe $6.

    Worth the effort when feeding a crowd.

    Nice work. Next time, leave it in the oven just a few more minutes. It looks undercooked to me.
