The Best Food To Serve Before Trick-Or-Treating

October 15, 2019 by Annie

Halloween is coming and it is time to plan for a night of spooky costumes, trick-or-treating and, of course, kids with sugar rushes. While Halloween is a lot of fun, it can be a lot of work for parents. So, you likely want to plan an efficient meal. While there are plenty of great options to choose from, the best is probably an old staple: pizza.

Getting a Great Pizza for Halloween Night

Before you head out walking door-to-door, you want to get something filling. Additionally, you need something that is going to be a little slower for digesting than candy. It’s not going to stop enthusiastic kids from getting a sugar rush, but at least it will help stave off the dreaded sugar crash.

The great news is with some of the cheapest pizza specials and even fun, Halloween-themed pizzas, it is easy to get a meal that works great as a pre-trick-or-treating dinner. Even better, it is very flexible. So, if your kids surprise you by bringing over a couple of extra friends, you won’t find yourself in hot water.

Accommodating Dietary Restrictions

Another benefit of pizza is that pretty much anyone can eat it. That can be a serious consideration if you are expecting to have any additional children over for dinner. You can pretty much always find a couple of pizzas that your kids and their friends can eat. Surprisingly, you can even get gluten free pizza delivery these days. So, even gluten-intolerant eaters won’t be left out.

Of course, it is always a good idea to plan a few sides such as wings and garlic bread if you are expecting to have lots of hungry mouths to feed. As all parents know, handling the tastes, restrictions and pickiness of numerous children can be a challenge. That is one of the main reasons that pizza is the best Halloween food.

Getting a Great Deal

If, like many parents, you order pizza for parties and occasional special dinners, think about joining your pizza place’s rewards program. More of them have programs than you may expect. If you’ve ever wondered how to get a free pizza, rewards programs are often the answer. Specials also help a lot, especially for parties. Most places will throw in a free pizza if you have a moderately-sized order.

Just keep in mind that other parents may be planning the same thing on Halloween. So, think about getting your order in early. It may not be Superbowl Sunday, but Halloween can get pretty busy with all the families needing an easy meal. If you get your order in and get some free food as a reward, what could be a better choice for a pre-trick-or-treating dinner?

Get Ready for the Big Night

As you likely know, Halloween is high up there on the list of kids’ favorite holidays. Gift-giving winter holidays probably take the cake, but getting free candy is a good reason to get excited. A little preparation and some good food can go a long way towards making sure your kids have the energy and sustenance they need to handle all that excitement.

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
