[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how strictly they eat halal. Veggie pizza is made from halal ingredients, but is not considered halal due to cross contamination with non halal meats. [/quote]
Not true. All my Muslim friends/family will eat a cheese or veggie pizza. Halal refers to how meat is slaughtered/prepared. If there’s no meat (or alcohol) then it’s halal! [/quote]
Google “halal pizza” (different from veggie pizza from a regular pizza place) and haram and educate yourself. [/quote]

Lol. I'm Muslim and trust me 95% of US Muslims aren't looking for "halal pizza." Shocking to you but a % of Muslims don't even do halal at all - they refrain from pork/alcohol - but then will eat beef, chicken, lamb etc. bc in this country they're being slaughtered by other people of the book (Christians/Jews). I don't think OP needs to cater to the 5% of obsessive fringey Muslims (who let's be honest won't be in attendance bc they don't socialize with non Muslims)  in order to be a good host here. Cheese or veggie pizza is perfectly fine and if this person is SOOOOO ridiculously obsessed with religious rules they can simply not eat for a 1 hr bday party - and oh yeah if they're that strict they'll be the type that won't let their kid partake in cake bc omg frosting could have a smidge of gelatin.

OP if this person/kid have accepted your invite, they are likely normal - pizza, cake, etc. are all fine. Only thing I'd do to be hospitable is make sure to not serve them cheese/veggie pizza from the same box as pepperoni or sausage -- i.e. don't order a pizza that is half plain/half pepperoni - as the pepperoni juices could have run onto the cheese side; I've had non Muslim Americans be like so what you're not eating pepperoni, but that's one thing that most Muslims would be uncomfortable with whether they keep halal or not.[/quote]
