Fun Pizza Party Ideas For Kids

Posted on: 11 September 2018

When it comes to planning a menu for a child's birthday party, pizza is an obvious choice. Not only does it please young palates, but pizza can also easily be customized to accommodate kids with allergies and even the pickiest of eaters. 

Pizza isn't just fun for children to eat; it's also fun to make. One idea to consider when putting together your child's birthday party is a do-it-yourself pizza buffet. A buffet may also be a less expensive option than ordering the pies if you're on a tight party-planning budget. It's also interactive and will keep young guests entertained all throughout the celebration.

Take possible dietary restrictions into consideration when purchasing the pizza ingredients. For instance, be sure to provide plenty of meat-free options and even soy-based cheese and proteins for any vegetarians in the group. Gluten-free dough will also be important for anyone with intolerances or sensitivities. Look for dough made from wheat alternatives such as brown rice flour. You can also get creative with dessert-style pizzas, and even pizza party favors to delight the children. With a little prepping, you can give your child a delicious party they and their friends will remember for years to come.

Here are some more tips for planning a child's pizza party.

1. Pizza Buffet

When setting up the build-your-own pizza buffet table, keep the little ones in mind. Make personal-size crusts for small appetites and provide a mild tomato sauce for youngsters who don't like too much spice or heat. 

You can either give each guest a pre-made crust or let the children roll the dough out themselves for even more fun. Set out bowls of popular, kid-friendly toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, pepperoni, and black olives, and have the party-goers design their own pies.

Encourage them to use the toppings to create faces, flowers or any other design on the pizzas. After their baked, you can serve the pizzas in small, personalized boxes with "happy birthday" messages on front. 

2. Dessert Pizza 

After they've enjoyed their main course, allow kids to make their own mini dessert pizzas as well. Roll out individual sugar or chocolate chip cookie crusts, bake them, and have guests top them with thin layers of frosting and treats such as fresh fruit or sprinkles.

Dessert pizzas are sweet alternatives to traditional birthday cakes, and kids can also take them home in small boxes as party favors as well. For more information, contact a company like Original Italian Pizza Pa.
