It’s no question that pizza is in high demand year-round, but there are certain days of the year that are especially busy for pizza restaurants. As pizza restaurant owners, it is crucial to make sure that you are ready for these big days of the year by being stocked up on delivery and takeout supplies, as well as making sure that your machines are running smoothly by replacing out-of-date parts. Keep reading to discover what the busiest days are so that you can be prepared!
- Halloween is one of the number one busiest days for pizza! As you can imagine, it’s the perfect night to grab something quick to eat with the kids before taking them out trick-or-treating. Or, the perfect thing to order with your significant other if you’re staying home to pass out candy. Either way, people don’t want a mess in the kitchen on this already hectic night, so a lot of people will opt for pizza delivery or carry-out.
- Second to Halloween, the next most popular day for pizza has to be Super Bowl Sunday. We’ve probably all been to a Super Bowl party before and know that it’s a great night for all of our favorite hand-held foods and snacks. One thing is for certain, pizza restaurants will want to be prepared for this day, as they’ll likely receive very large orders to feed a whole party!
- Another very popular day for pizza is the day before Thanksgiving. A proper Thanksgiving feast takes a lot of preparation, so the day before often consists of fridges full of food, tables already set, and last minute runs to the store. Plus, people are gearing up for a full day of cooking the next day! So, it’s the perfect day to order a pizza and save all the cooking and cleanup for the big day.
- Finally, the other most popular days of the year for pizza are New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Similar to Super Bowl Sunday, the perfect hand-held food for a big New Year’s Eve party is pizza. Get ready for big orders on this day! You may even want to extend your hours at your restaurant this day if you want to get those late-night orders rolling in. If people didn’t get pizza for their party the day before (or even if they did), what better hangover food than a greasy pie. People are trying to take it easy on New Year’s Day, the perfect day for an easy dinner like carry-out pizza.
