Don't have a pizza party where everyone shops separately.
A pizza party sounds like an economical way to spend a saturday night, right? well, you're wrong because it costs like 50 dollars a person. Part of that money went to booze, but most of it was towards pizza supplies. long story short, I got a pound of mozzarella, a bag of spinach, and two unopened bags of pepperoni sitting in my fridge. and no bread or dough or sauce. so...I'm going to have to buy pizza dough or bread and sauce now. and I'll be eating pizza forever. which is partly awesome, partly stupid.
anyway, my point is, pizza is delicious and pizza parties are fun, but you have to plan it out or else you're going to be making and eating pizzas for 5 hours straight because you have so much stuff. so much in fact, that you will probably make an apple cinnamon pizza. also, everyone will drink your vodka instead of beer so they can fit more pizza in their bellies.
none of this is economical.

edit: Forget what I said.
spinach is the best - great on pizza
Dude, make ya own pizza dough! Its so easy - a little flour, dried yeast, sugar, salt.
And if you make loads of it you can freeze half the dough - make sure you beat the air out of it though first.
And its far nicer & cheaper than any store bought crap

well, we had the dough from trader joe's, it was cheap and good. whole wheat and such.
this is mostly a joke thread. we don't really have to talk about pizza in here.
Oh.
There is a dead fish floating in my fish tank - we could all talk about that.
I knew it was dying and when I woke up this morning its upside down on the top when its a bottom feeder and normally the right way up. Corydoras (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=corydoras&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:unofficial&client=firefox-a)

two fish in my tank once died, the first one was never seen again and the other one showed up weeks after his death, all rotty and bite marked from the snails
he had no head anymore and you could look into his body
good times!
i like most types of pizza but especially the ones with tank fish toppings!

We had a pizza party last year, granted there were only 4 of us but we made the yeast before work to let it rise and by the time we got home it was good and ready...it was so much fun, I dont know why we don't do it more often.

isn't the general rule of thumb for something like this that each person has something specific that they are to bring? i mean, if someone invited me to a pizza party, i sure as hell wouldnt show up with 2 pounds of cheese unless the host told me thats what i was in charge of getting....

On the saving money shitnitz....
I was in HMV getting some cd's using my gift card voucher thing my brother got me and I started seeing cd after cd I wanted but I managed to put the ones that I know I can get another time.It was tricky for a cd hoaring slut like myself(y)
I forgot - I have a HMV voucher.

Sometimes a salad is just a bowl of pizza toppings.
...probably not with pepperoni though. English muffin mini pizzas! Or bagels. When pizza is on a bagel you can have pizza any time.

yeah, I was in charge of the cheese, but other people still brought their own. it was a disaster!
nuzz is right, I need to get some bagels so I can have pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time.

that's your loss, then. Trader Joe's is MILF Island/Heaven wrapped into one convenient store...
