Everyone loves pizza, and planning a party around this perpetual favorite is destined to be a big hit with your friends and family. It's a great choice for a kids' party, but adults will love it too. When planning the party, think beyond simply having a selection of pizzas to delivered to your home and instead opt for some of these gourmet ideas.

Homemade pizza is easier to make than you might think. Pizza crust takes just minutes to make and you can make it a day or two in advance. So why not plan a party where guests select their toppings and make their own pizzas? This is fun for all ages, including young children, teenagers and grown-ups. Simple cut off portions of dough for each person and set out a wide variety of toppings and let people mix and mingle while they select their favorite items.

If you wish to have all the food prepared before the party begins, you can make the homemade pizza ahead of time and begin baking just as guests arrive. While they wait for pizzas to come out of the oven or off the grill, let them snack on antipasti platters filled with sliced Italian meats and cheeses, as well as marinated vegetables, olives and bruschetta. Pizza is an excellent option to consider if you have friends with diverse diet restrictions. Perhaps some of your friends are vegan or vegetarian, maybe some love meat and others cannot eat any dairy products. Not to worry, there are great pizza ideas out there to suit just about any diet.

When you select the beverages, a simple solution would be to serve a few different Italian wines as well as Italian beer. There are delicious Italian sodas for the kids and those who don't drink alcohol, and there are also fine Italian sparkling waters to consider. If you wish to serve a cocktail, consider an Italian theme here as well. The Bellini is an easy and popular cocktail that combines Proseco with fresh peach juice. The Negroni, a combination of Campari, gin and vermouth is another option.

Dessert is the easiest part of the entire evening. Simply go on the Internet and order dessert from Chocolate Pizza Company. Their specialty chocolate pizzas are the perfect dessert for a pizza party, and they even package their product in actual pizza boxes before sending it to you. There are dark chocolate pizzas, milk chocolate pizzas and even white chocolate pizzas and a huge variety of toppings. You can order several and guests can simply break off a chunk of each kind of chocolate pizza and enjoy. All of the pizzas are handmade using only the finest of ingredients.

Chocolate Pizza Company also sells a huge variety of other treats to consider for your dessert buffet. They create homemade chocolate cookies, almond bark, cashew clusters, truffles, chocolate-covered pretzels and much more. Another signature treat to consider is their Peanut Butter Wings, which is a natural complement to your chocolate pizzas. These wings are created by blending crispy potato chips with creamy peanut butter and then dipping them in melted dark or milk chocolate.
