Delicious Foods Ideas to Stop Serving Pizza at Parties
While pizza is a go-to for kids' parties, parents in Ottawa are looking for healthier, equally tasty options. Here are some easy alternatives that don’t sacrifice fun or flavor.
As a mom of two boys in Ottawa, I've noticed that pizza is almost always the go-to choice for kids' parties! Pizza is always a crowd-pleaser, but if you’re planning a party for your kids, it can be refreshing to go beyond the usual slice! Here are some easy, healthy, and fun-to-eat alternatives to try.
Alternatives to Pizza
Switch up the menu with bite-sized foods that are easy to eat and fun to serve. Our Lunchinho meal packs feature options like mini buns filled with lean proteins, sandwiches and wraps, and delicious baked goods - all made from scratch by our chef. These are perfect for small hands and provide a variety of flavors and nutrients that pizza can’t offer.
Oh, but my kid wants pizza...
A “build-your-own” pizza station is a great way to get kids involved and make meal times interactive! Consider setting up a pizza bar with flatbreads (wraps) for the "pizza dough", shredded cheese, sliced tomato, and fresh veggies like bell pepper and basil. At Lunchinho we also have our version of pizza buns, muffins and decorated pizza dough.
Include Colorful Platters
Kids are drawn to colorful displays, so use bright fruits and veggies to make your party table pop! Arrange items like sliced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and carrot sticks in fun patterns or shapes. Fruit kabobs with berries, pineapple, and grapes are a hit, too. These visually appealing platters are easy for kids to grab and enjoy, and they add a festive touch to any party setting.
Grab-and-Go Snacks
Finger foods are perfect for parties! Lunchinho offers great grab-and-go options like mini quiches, energy bites, and filled mini sandwiches. These foods are easy to eat and packed with nutrition. Everything comes in a box that can be customized and take home in case kids' do not finish their snacks. You’ll also avoid the mess of a traditional pizza party!
With Lunchinho’s wide variety of meal options, parents can plan a kid-friendly spread that’s as delicious as it is healthy. Say goodbye to the pizza default and surprise your guests with fun, fresh alternatives that everyone can enjoy. Lunchinho is here to make Ottawa kids’ parties tasty, and hassle-free!
