Discover tips and inspiration for preparing, decorating and serving pizza for an evening with friends
Pizza and friends are the perfect combination, aren’t they? With a little planning, you can make everything even more fun and, of course, delicious! Check out our tips and inspirations for organizing an unforgettable pizza night.
Preparing or buying
Some people love the process of preparing pizza, while others prefer the convenience of ready-made. Whichever you prefer, it is important to consider some factors when deciding, such as: number of guests, number of pizzas needed and preferred toppings.
If you are ordering, don’t forget to check the delivery time and the restaurant’s reputation to avoid surprises. If you are preparing it at home, define the amounts and toppings in advance to ensure that you have the ingredients you need. Also decide whether the pizza will be prepared in a wood-fired oven or an electric oven, because that affects the temperature and baking time.
Decorating
There are several options for decoration and table setting styles for preparing a pizza night, from traditional to contemporary.
For an evening inspired by Italian cantinas, a checkered pattern is an excellent choice. Red and green napkins (paper or cloth) ensure a charming table.
Tomato cans can become decorative vases, either with natural plants or seasonings such as basil, green sage, oregano and pepper. Another tip is to wrap rosemary in a napkin and place it where guests will sit to leave a pleasant smell in the air.
Serving
For plates, we suggest using flat plates to make it easier to serve and use flatware. Items with decoration suited to the occasion, such as the Tramontina Amazonas pizza set, make the ambience even more fun.
The Tramontina Kit with stainless-steel blades and red handles is also an excellent option, because it includes flatware and slicers.
For serving pizzas, you can use wood, glass or stainless-steel cutting boards, depending on the chosen decoration style. An item that will help you serve is the round cutter.
Don’t forget to make olive oil and black pepper available to guests if the style of the pizza night is more traditional. For those who prefer a more modern take, ketchup and mustard are also options when setting the table.
