Few things are as universally loved as pizza and movies. Whether it’s a cozy night in with the family, a laid-back gathering with friends, or a solo evening to unwind, combining a delicious Odd Moe’s pizza with your favorite flick can transform an ordinary night into something special. But why stop at just ordering pizza and pressing play? Here are some tips to make your next pizza and movie night with Odd Moe’s absolutely perfect.

Order Ahead and Customize Your Menu

Planning your pizza and movie night starts with the most crucial step: the pizza! Odd Moe’s offers a wide variety of delicious options, from classic pepperoni to specialty pizzas like the Big Juan (Taco-style) or The Sweet Spot (Hawaiian). Don’t forget about their sides, like wings, Moe Joes, and dough dunkers, to round out the feast.

Order Early:

Beat the dinner rush and make sure your pizza arrives hot and fresh by ordering ahead of time. Odd Moe’s online ordering system makes it super easy to plan your meal.

Personalize Your Pies:

With Odd Moe’s Build Your Own Pizza option, you can let everyone create their dream pizza. This is especially fun for family movie nights where everyone has different tastes.

Choose the Right Movie (and Pair It with the Right Pizza!)

The movie you choose sets the tone for the night. Whether you’re in the mood for comedy, action, or something heartwarming, pairing it with the right pizza can enhance the experience.

Comedy: Go for something fun like The Big Juan Taco Pizza—its bold flavors match the lively energy of a good comedy.

Romance: Opt for a more sophisticated choice like the Garlic Chicken Pizza to pair with a sweet, romantic film.

Action or Adventure: Bring out a hearty option like the Big Moe Meat Lover to complement the intensity on screen.

If you’re having trouble deciding, make it interactive! Have everyone vote on the movie or randomly draw one from a hat to keep it exciting.

Set the Mood

Turn your living room into the ultimate movie theater experience with a few simple touches:

Dim the Lights: Lower the lighting to make the screen the focal point. Fairy lights or candles can add a cozy ambiance.

Get Cozy: Lay out blankets, pillows, and even bean bags for a super comfortable viewing setup. Encourage everyone to dress in comfy pajamas for maximum relaxation.

Upgrade the Sound: If you have a sound bar or Bluetooth speakers, use them to create a more immersive audio experience.

Create a Pizza Bar for Variety

Instead of ordering just one or two large pizzas, consider creating a pizza buffet. Order a variety of Odd Moe’s pies so everyone can sample different flavors. Don’t forget we also offer gluten-free and vegetarian options for guests with dietary preferences.

Add a Dip Station: Odd Moe’s has some fantastic dipping sauces, like ranch or blue cheese.

Include Custom Toppings: Set out extra toppings like crushed red pepper, Parmesan cheese, or fresh herbs for guests to customize their slices.

Serve Drinks That Complement the Pizza

Elevate the flavors of your Odd Moe’s pizza by pairing it with the right drink.

Soda and Soft Drinks: Classics like cola or root beer pair perfectly with cheesy slices.

Craft Beer: For the adults, pair hoppy IPAs with spicy pizzas or smooth stouts with meat-heavy options.

Mocktails and Cocktails: Create themed drinks to match the movie, like tropical punch for an island-themed film or a sparkling lemonade for romantic comedies.

Plan Some Pre-Movie Fun

Before the movie starts, warm up the evening with a few fun activities:

Pizza Trivia: Test everyone’s knowledge of pizza history and fun facts. Winner gets the first slice!

Guess the Movie: Play snippets of movie soundtracks or show still frames and see who can guess the title.

Pizza Art Contest: Provide paper and markers for kids (or adults!) to draw their dream pizza while waiting for the food to arrive.

Go All-Out with Themed Decorations

If you’re in the mood to go above and beyond, consider matching your decorations to the movie. This is a fun idea for family movie nights or birthday celebrations.

Action Movies: Decorate with superhero or action hero memorabilia.

Romantic Movies: Set the mood with candles, flowers, and soft lighting.

Kids’ Movies: Add fun props or character-themed plates and napkins to make it extra special.

Incorporate Intermission Games

Pause halfway through the movie for some mid-viewing entertainment. This is a great time to stretch, refresh your drinks, and have a little fun:

Pizza Box Challenge: Stack empty Odd Moe’s pizza boxes into a tower and see who can build the tallest one.

Guess That Topping: Blindfold a participant and have them guess a pizza topping by taste.
Movie Quotes Game: Test your guests’ movie knowledge with famous lines from the film you’re watching.

Make Cleanup a Breeze

The last thing anyone wants after a relaxing movie night is a big mess. Keep things simple with easy cleanup tips:

Use Disposable Plates and Napkins: Opt for recyclable options to keep it eco-friendly.

Trash Bins Close By: Place a few trash bins near the seating area for convenient disposal of pizza boxes and plates.

Leftovers Strategy: Store any leftover Odd Moe’s pizza in reusable containers for tomorrow’s lunch or midnight snack.
