Sides for grown up pizza "party"

[BrassicaBabe]

I'm having friends round for pizza at wmthe weekend. Home made but casual get together.

I like a bit of kitchen faff. What sides or accompanying dishes would folks suggest?

TIA

Coleslaw
Potato salad
Corn on the cob
Garlic dough balls
Couscous
Sundried tomatoes

Cheesy garlic bread
Potato wedges/potato skins/chips/baked potatoes
Salad in seperate bowls so people can make their own
Coleslaw
Potato salad
Sour cream dip
Onion rings

You could do brushetta if it's a sit round a table thing

I would basically do Pizza, potato item, garlic bread and then salad people can put together themselves and dips and Coleslaw/potato salad

Then lots of nice picky bits for dessert, tiny portions so you can have a bit of everything or a few pieces of one

The advert on this page is trying to help

Garlic bread or dough balls
Green leafy salad w chunks of avao, cuc and baby toms
Another salad like a carrot one
Antipasti platter - olives, meats, cheese, artichokes, sun dried toms.

I am often tempted by these wild garlic butter music paper bread though I have not yet got round to making them myself! :)

Definitely garlic bread of some sort.

It sounds like a lovely and relaxed idea. I hope you have fun :)

Make a lovely home made garlic bread
Lidl paninis, halved, drizzled with olive oil and crushed garlic. Toast for a couple of minutes, add sliced mozzarella, grill again, scatter with fresh basil and balsamic glaze.

Giant couscous salad

Is it going to be eating with a knife and fork, or fork and fingers?

I like pizza portioned so I can eat it without cutlery, so I'd go for coleslaw, rice vegetable salad and small baked potatoes, cut in half, a little flesh scooped out and some finely chopped spring onion garnish in the well.
