Help me order pizza for a party this week...

We will have 70 people, a mix of kids and adults. How many should I order (there will be other food but no other entrees) and what kind? I am thinking half cheese and half pepperoni and assuming 2 pieces a person, including kids. I thought that would accomodate small kids and those who might eat much more than 2 slices.

Which chain pizza place has the best deals for larger orders? Dominos? (I'm not going for gourmet here; I just don't want to break the bank.) I want to have the order delivered. Thanks!!

Ask them to square cut some of them -- works much better for kids since a normal slice is too big for their hands. Papa Johns does this.

I really hope you aren't doing 70 people for a kids birthday party.

Half cheese.

1/4 pepperoni

1/4 other ingredients

That sounds about right. The 'other' might be onions, mushrooms, olives, etc. Figure at least two pieces per person. I would check to see if there is some local alternative to the big chains. They might be willing to cut a deal for a big order. Chain pizza just gets so old after a while.

Yes, definitely square cut or ask them to "party cut" it. Smaller pieces= less wasted pizza.

Order Ledo's. They are square pizzas so you don't have to do any special cutting. Works really well for kids parties.

Cost is pretty similar to domino's.

Potomac Pizza is fantastic, and it's relatively cheap. It's a step up from Domino's or whatever, and it'll taste so much better.

. The

Mama Lucia is much better pizza. They cook it in an oven as opposed to a conveyor belt. It is priced the same as Potomac Pizza.
