The United States consumes 3 billion pizzas per year, with a total of $38 million spent on one of restaurants’ most popular menu items.*
Pizza is one item that rarely “gets old.” Whether your main customer base is fueled by high schoolers down the street or a mix of all demographics, most guests love a fresh pizza pie.
National Pizza Party Day gives guests a reason to celebrate with family and friends at their favorite local restaurant, or at home with food from their favorite pizza menu. Restaurants celebrating this day easily increase awareness of their venue for summer events and local gatherings by hosting a pizza party that guests can enjoy with their family and friends. Restaurants that don’t have a traditional pizza oven may participate in this specialty event by serving pizza variations including pizza bread, pizza sandwiches, pizza casseroles, and more.
Whether your restaurant offers pizza items regularly or are introducing limited-time offers, hosting a pizza party provides a unique and engaging opportunity to attract and retain local customers.
Reward Customers
Restaurants can increase order intake and promote restaurant traffic by rewarding customers that order ahead, place orders with a minimum dollar amount, or make reservations for a specific party size. Loyalty points, rewards credit, discounted items, and gift cards are a great way to increase return visits. Aldelo Express users effectively manage event operations by designating time slots for indoor/outdoor dining, helping staff to efficiently manage order flow and services. By offering ordering and service options in the days leading up to their pizza party, restaurants can properly plan the event while providing easy and convenient options that enable customers to prepare for at-home National Pizza Party Day gatherings by ordering food and drinks from the restaurant.
Combined with cloud-based inventory management, digital menus, and sales reports, owners and operators manage and monitor their restaurant in real-time from any web-enabled device, making adjustments to digital menus and item inventories as necessary so that they are never out of advertised food and drinks.

Special Events Lure Guests
Even if you cannot host a pizza party, owners and operators can still attract eager guests with pizza-related weekend specials. Engage customers and promote new or high-profit menu items with limited-time pizza discounts, complimentary slices or toppings, and meal deals for customers who order takeout or meet specific purchase requirements.
Digital Services Streamline Operations
The high-traffic spring and summer market is an ideal time for attracting new and existing customers to the restaurant and its digital services. Once customers experience the ease of ordering and payments via credit card, loyalty, rewards, coupon, and gift card promotions, they will continue using the business’ remote online ordering solutions. Imagine the increased customer satisfaction with an enhanced service level for placing and picking up orders without calling or waiting in line at the restaurant.
Such events can also be used to promote in-house loyalty and gift card campaigns that help drive customer traffic throughout the year, especially during the busy summer season.
Restaurants using Aldelo Express utilize a full-featured pizza module that supports up to ten pizza sizes, including slices, and an unlimited number of crust types to include flatbreads or dietary-specific options.

Aldelo Express POS for pizza enables topping orders on whole, halves, and even thirds of a pizza, providing customers flexible pizza combinations.
QR code-enabled Masa+ digital menus allow restaurants to promote their digital ordering solutions on their website, social media, signage, or table tent cards, enabling customers to easily scan, order, and pay to streamline operations in any environment. When used with Aldelo Express Cloud POS, Masa+ can increase a restaurant’s sales by 8.3%.
