Pro Tips for Pizza Budgeting

  • Bulk Buy: Always check warehouse clubs like Costco or Sam's Club for better pricing on drinks and sides.
  • RSVP Matters: Confirm your guest count 3 days before to avoid over-ordering food that goes to waste.
  • Hidden Costs: Don't forget napkins, plates, and cupsโ€”these can add $20-$40 to a large party budget.
