How to Save Time Organizing your Pizza and Movie Night at Home

If you are like me you may occasionally invite your friends over to watch a movie and have pizza. Ordering pizza is pretty easy now that we can take care of business online, but sometimes you just can’t get the pizza guy to show up at the right time. If your pizza and movie night is on one of the busier nights of the week, here are a few tips to help you make it a more enjoyable evening where you know everything is going to happen on time.

Rent Your Movie Online

Whether you are watching Netflix or Hulu, you can rent everything you need online. Or you can go Old School and play DvDs or Blu-rays. There’s something to be said for watching your own physical media.

Knowing that your movies will be waiting for you at the pickup location, you can plan to stop by there after work. That way you don’t have to stand around trying to figure out what you and your friends are going to watch.

Pick Up the Pizza with the Movies

There are two ways to pick up pizza: either from a pizza place that makes it fresh for you or frozen so that you can cook it later. Here’s the great thing about frozen pizza: you don’t have to settle for what is in the freezer at the grocery store.

Don’t get me wrong. I like some store-bought pizzas, especially the pricier kind. But if you’re going to feed a crowd you are probably going to buy 2-3 large pizzas. A great way to save time and money on that kind of deal is to order your frozen pizzas in advance from a shopping club like BJ’s, Costco, or Sam’s Club. Just make sure you can pick up the pizzas before they close.

Have One of Your Friends Pick up the Pizza

You know, you don’t have to one person do all the work. One person can get the movies and another person can bring the pizzas.

Alterntively, you can also ask someone else to bring the beverages. Whether you’re drinking beer, soda, or tea ordering for the whole group may take a little time. So splitting up the orders among 2-3 people should save time.
