Your child worked hard and reached an important milestone, graduation. This pinnacle moment calls for a celebration with a party. Once you’ve narrowed the guest list, it’s time to sift through graduation party food ideas.
Hosting your child’s graduation party can be a successful, low-stress event where everyone has fun. Of course, early planning is key to creating a memorable event. Moreover, the menu is one of the important elements in creating a positive atmosphere while facilitating socializing. When deciding on food items, keep in mind these important aspects:
Being a proud parent, it’s very easy to overspend. Setting a budget can help you stay out of debt and avoid waste. Typically, the average cost for a graduation party with 60 guests is about $1130 or $19 per guest.
Typically, a party guest will consume 2 drinks per hour on average. However, consider buying extra in case it’s an overly hot day. Furthermore, buying bottled water and canned soda eliminates the need to purchase cups.
Even though this is a graduation celebration for your child, you’ll want to talk with guests and enjoy yourself too. However, preparing food that requires a lot of work or last-minute attention will draw you from the festivities.
Instead, pick some easy dishes to prepare so you can have fun too. Food bars are popular options allowing each party guest to assemble their meal. Another option is to lay out a charcuterie board with cold cuts, cheese, crackers, fruit, pickles, and nuts. Some other simple graduation party food ideas include:
Of course, the cake is the centerpiece of the graduation celebration. You can buy reasonably priced ones at your local supermarket or warehouse club. Cupcakes are another sweet option offering simplicity and ease of serving. Whether you choose cupcakes or a sheet cake, your guests will enjoy indulging in dessert.
Throwing any party is a huge undertaking, especially if the event is at your home. Cleaning and preparation are time-consuming and draining. However, you can lighten your load by buying prepared food or having your event catered. Moreover, pizza is a great choice for many reasons:
One of the best places to buy pizza is your local Tony’s Pizza. Since 1981, our restaurants have been making delicious NY style pizza. Depending on your party and topping preferences, you may need several different sizes. Use the following chart to figure out how many pizzas you’ll need:
Plus, if you want to offer appetizers, other main dishes, or desserts, we have you covered. Tony’s has an extensive menu that includes party trays of your favorites:
Subs and wings make great party food too. Luckily, we have those as well!
Are you in the party planning stages, and still deciding your options? Below, we answer a few questions to help you create a memorable event.
Of course, you want to create memories for your graduate. However, you also want to make a pleasurable event for your guests so that they also have a fun experience. Incorporating particular elements sets the mood and encourages interaction.
For example, centering the party around a theme will connect guests visually to the guest of honor. From the major to the college choice, the cohesiveness of a theme will make guests feel included and appreciated.
Playing background music is another idea. You can create a playlist of your graduate’s favorite songs or graduation-themed songs.
How about a photo booth with fun props? Teenagers love to take photos and this provides a fun and interactive spot to create lasting memories.
Often, the best place to host your event is right in your backyard. However, have a plan in place in case of inclement weather. Renting a tent will protect your guest from an unexpected rain shower as well as shade from the glaring sun.
Another idea is to rent a pavilion at your local park. Usually, these are affordable and convenient spaces. It’s a good idea to view the location of your pavilion before renting it. You’ll want a parking lot nearby as well as adequate facilities. Make sure you book at least 3-4 months in advance to ensure you get the pavilion of your choice.
For a graduation party, birthday party, or any other event, Tony’s Pizza can help you with your next celebration. Simply call your nearest Tony’s Pizza or use our website to place your order. We have 6 convenient locations throughout the greater Charlotte area:
Whether you need graduation party food ideas or food for hanging out with friends, rely on Tony’s Pizza.
Looking forward to watching the game with friends or family and trying to figure out what to serve? Luckily, the team at Tony’s Pizza is sharing some of their favorite and easy game day food ideas!
Of course, you can make it even easier and just order from Tony’s (we’ll go into that a bit later). However, we thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things to make when we’re watching football, basketball, soccer or just having a party to celebrate friends and family.
If you’re thinking about hosting a gathering and want to keep it simple, consider 3 courses or types of food to serve for game day. Primarily, you need:
Below, we’ve picked a recipe for each based on easy game day food ideas that we like to serve.
First, start strong with an appetizer. Preferably, this should be easy to make and easy to eat. Think party finger foods. Generally, guests will munch on these while prepping for the game and debating on who’s going to win!
Plus, if you’re trying to figure out football game day food, these sort of look like little footballs! If you want to get really fancy, you could use piping to mimic football laces over the cream cheese stuffing with a softened version of cream cheese. Just add a touch of food coloring to either the main cream cheese filling or the laces to make it stand out.

Prefer takeout? Tony’s Pizza’s famous wings and Italian meatballs make for fantastic crowd-pleasing appetizers! Or, we actually have jalapeno poppers that we can make for you!
Second, a main course should be hearty. Lots of folks opt for chili which is a tasty choice. Similarly, nachos are a great go to. However, they can get a little soggy while sitting out. Thus, you could create a nacho-style bar instead for your party.

If cooking isn’t your thing, subs are the perfect main course as well. In fact, you can order multiple large subs and slice them up into smaller portions for easy, hand-held snacks. Conversely, pizza is pretty much always a safe bet for game day party food.
Plus, if you have guests who avoid gluten, we have gluten-free and cauliflower crust. Just keep in mind that flour does fly around our kitchen. Consequently, there is a possibility of cross-contamination so make sure your guests are aware of this!
Similarly, we have vegan cheese as well. So, let us know if you’re trying to avoid dairy.
Finally, don’t forget all those sweet tooths (sweet teeth?) at your game day party. While decorated cupcakes are fun, we actually have a favorite twist on a classic 7-layer cookie that’s easy to make. Since we’re leaving out the coconut and nuts, we call them 5-layers cookies!

Alternatively, we make desserts at Tony’s Pizza’s too. So, you can order some extra for varying taste buds. Or, save time and let us make all the desserts. We have rich tiramisu, crispy cannoli, cheesecake and limoncello mascarpone cake.

Half of the food fun is creating an enticing spread. Luckily, we have tips to make everything look just as good as it tastes!
If you’re planning to order some, or even all, of your party food from Tony’s Pizza, timing is essential. Fortunately, we also have tips on how to time your food pickup and layout.
Place your order online or call ahead, especially if you’re ordering large quantities or party trays. In fact, if you have a really large order, several days ahead is wise. Likewise, be sure to schedule your pickup time well before gametime so you don’t miss the best part.
Pick up your order well before the start of the game to avoid last-minute rushes. Preheat your oven for a quick warm-up just before serving.
Set out the food on your table or buffet station, ensuring everything is placed strategically for easy access.
