Imagine the mess it would make in those Trick or Treat bags.
Unless you had the kids sitting in your dining room or kitchen eating
where it is appropriate, you would have all the neighborhood mothers
angry with you. The children who are in your children's classes would be
mean and hateful to your kids. That slice of good pizza got tangles up
with chocolate, bubble gum, Sweet Tarts and Jolly Ranchers - nothing was
edible. The sugar rush the kids looked forward to for a whole month was
ruined. On the serious side of things, no parent would allow their
child to accept any food that was not pre-packaged and unopened. Some
parents still will now allow their children to accept fresh fruit.
That does not mean that pizza will be out of the picture entirely. Why not have a pizza gathering at your home for all the neighborhood parents while they wait on their kids to go out and collect their sugary bootie? You do not have to feed the entire crowd a complete dinner - just have enough for them to enjoy a slice and a soft drink. Most of them will want to sit around and chit-chat and with your provisions they won't have to do it on an empty stomach.
You know you can pull it off because your favorite gourmet pizza delivery will allow you to pre-order to be delivered at a requested time. Can you imagine how long you would have to wait if you ordered at the last minute? If you have guests that arrive late and the pies are not steaming hot, you can always warm them for about five minutes in the oven. Five minutes will not dry them out or make them chewy like warming in the microwave.
So now you have made plans and called all the neighbors. They may bring some of their teenagers who are not out supervising the young ones meandering around the neighborhood with E.T. You want to get your order in early with the pizza delivery.
Everyone loves pepperoni so you will order two large pepperoni pizzas. Yes, some of the special pizzas do have pepperoni on them, but you know several people who enjoy a slice with just the one meat. You must order a white pizza for the ladies who are fitness fanatics. Although there are plenty of people who enjoy Grilled Chicken, Mushrooms, Alfredo Sauce, Garlic, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses just because they love the mix of flavors. Your husband had one the other week and raved about it. He began imitating the Godfather after he had two slices of Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Sausage, Gyro, Deli Ham, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Red Onions, Black Olives, Meatballs and Mozzarella.
If you want to play it safe for the men in the crowd you can always order several kinds of wings. They always go over well. Your pizza delivery can accommodate you with Barbeque, Buffalo, Lemon Pepper and Teriyaki. Don't forget that some of those teenage boys that will be visiting have big appetites!
