Derek and Julie's tips for throwing a stellar pizza party

Prep as much as possible before the party, including side dishes, pizza toppings, and the sauce and dough. (Jensen recommends making dough that requires a 24-hour rise time at a low temp.)
Enlist helpers beforehand: kids who can clear plates or guests who might be able to stop by early to set up furniture.
Wear comfortable clothes for the party.
Start the evening with a glass of prosecco for each guest.
Offer more types of toppings than you would normally want.
Place prepped toppings in little bowls near the oven to spark appetites and conversation about the food.
Always offer a dessert. Gulla suggests cutting cookies, brownies and lemon bars into bite-size pieces for a relaxed sweets course.
Above all, have fun!
