DiGiorno Pizza Party!

DiGiorno Pizza & Breadsticks Champions House Party

I'm a member of http://www.houseparty.com/, a website that allows you to apply to host parties that are sponsored by leading brands. Each party has a theme, and your assignment is to share the wealth with friends and family by hosting a House Party. This was the first mission I was sent on: DiGiorno Pizza and Breadsticks!

I received my "party pack" in the mail about a week before my party. Inside were coupons for free pizzas and party supplies, such as DiGiorno beads, table tents, coasters, and the snazzy finger basketball hoops you see above.

The day of our party, I picked up the pizzas: Pepperoni, Cheese, Supreme, and Sausage, Bacon, & Pepperoni. The spotlight selection pizzas, the boxes containing both pizza and breadsticks, were the Pepperoni and Supreme. These boxes contained (8) breadsticks in addition to a full-size pizza; the breadsticks cook alongside the pizza in the oven, and the marinara dipping sauce is easily heated in the microwave.

A delicious pepperoni pizza:


Supreme with seasoned breadsticks:


As another option for our guests, I put together a BLT Salad bar:


And for dessert, my strawberry version of Pizza Hut's dessert pizza:


And some festive cut-out cookies:


I tried to get creative with my sprinkles. That's supposed to be a basketball; can you tell?

Overall, the party was a success! I think all of our guests had a great time, and we all loved the pizzas! We ran into a small snafu with the smoke alarm while the pizzas were in the oven. I think the ones on the lower rack were a little too close to the heat source! Surprisingly enough, for all the smoke that escaped from the oven, the pizzas themselves (the two that were on the bottom) were only slightly crispy on the bottom.
