Whether it’s making pizzas from scratch or playing pizza-themed games, you’ll find plenty of ways to celebrate with these 15 fun ideas for an unforgettable pizza-making birthday party!

1. Pizza Box Decorating Contest

Provide plain pizza boxes and let kids decorate them with markers, stickers, and stamps. This doubles as a fun activity and a way for each guest to take home leftover pizza or party favors.

2. DIY Pizza-Making Station

Set up a DIY pizza-making station with all the fixings—dough, sauce, cheese, and toppings galore! Let each guest craft their perfect pizza masterpiece. This hands-on activity is sure to be a hit.

3. Pizza-Themed Photo Booth

Create a photo booth with a pizza-themed backdrop and fun props like chef hats, aprons, and cardboard pizzas. Guests can snap pics as they channel their inner pizzaiolo!

4. Pin the Topping on the Pizza

In this twist on “Pin the Tail on the Donkey,” blindfolded kids try to pin pepperoni or mushroom “toppings” onto a large pizza poster. It’s a silly and fun way to get kids laughing.

5. Mini Pizza Cupcakes

For a twist on traditional pizza, bake or serve mini pizza-flavored cupcakes. They’re a fun alternative that adds a playful surprise to the party food.

6. Pizza Relay Race

Divide guests into two teams and have them race to build a “pizza” by collecting ingredient cards from different stations. The first team to complete their pizza wins!

7. Pizza Slice Bean Bag Toss

Create a pizza-shaped board with cut-out holes as targets. Kids toss bean bags, aiming to get them through the holes to score points. This easy-to-make game is a crowd-pleaser!

8. Pizza Party Favor Bags

Send guests home with pizza-themed goodie bags filled with fun surprises like mini pizza erasers, pizza stickers, and small candy packs. These little treats will remind them of their awesome day.

9. Create Your Own Pizza Toppings Craft

Set up a craft table with colored paper, markers, and scissors where kids can make their own “toppings.” They can create funny shapes like hearts or stars to add to their pizzas.

10. Guess the Topping Game

Blindfold kids and have them taste small pieces of pizza toppings (like olives, pepperoni, or peppers) to guess what they’re eating. It’s a fun, sensory game that lets them explore new flavors.

11. Pizza Pinata

Fill a pizza slice-shaped piñata with treats and small toys for the kids to break open. This classic activity is a fun way to end the party on a high note.

12. Pizza Parlor Scavenger Hunt

Organize a scavenger hunt around the party area with clues related to pizza and Italian cuisine. At the end, kids can find a “hidden” stash of goodies or mini pizzas.

Decorate with a pizza slice balloon garland made from red, yellow, and brown balloons to represent the pizza’s colors. It’s an easy and festive way to bring pizza party decorations to life.

Give each child their own chef hat and let them personalize it. You can find affordable paper or fabric hats that kids can decorate with markers and stickers.

15. Chef’s Obstacle Course
