Throwing a Pizza Party

Hosting a pizza party with a wood-fired pizza oven can be a fun and unique experience for your guests. Here are some tips to make sure your party is a success:

1. Plan your guest list: Make sure to invite enough guests to justify firing up your pizza oven, but not so many that you can't keep up with the demand. Aim for a manageable number of guests based on the size of your oven.

2. Prepare your ingredients: Before your guests arrive, make sure you have all the ingredients you need for your pizzas. This includes dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Set up a toppings bar with a variety of options so that guests can customize their pizzas to their liking.

3. Start the fire early: Wood-fired ovens can take up to an hour to heat up, so make sure to start the fire well before your guests arrive. You want your oven to be at the optimal temperature (around 700 degrees Fahrenheit) when it's time to start cooking.

4. Get your guests involved: Encourage your guests to get involved in the pizza-making process. Set up a prep station where guests can help prepare the dough and toppings, and have them take turns cooking their pizzas in the oven.

5. Serve appetizers and drinks: While your guests wait for their pizzas to cook, serve some appetizers and drinks to keep them satisfied. Consider offering a selection of wines that pair well with pizza.

6. Keep it simple: Don't overcomplicate things by offering too many pizza options. Stick to a few classic pizzas (such as margherita or pepperoni) and let your guests add their own toppings.

7. Enjoy the experience: Most importantly, have fun! Cooking pizzas in a wood-fired oven is a unique and enjoyable experience, so make sure to savor the moment with your guests.
