Make your pizza night feel like a full-on feast. Whether you’re hosting friends, feeding the family, or just treating yourself, here are some elevated-yet-easy side dishes and snacks to serve with your Slices Roman-style frozen pizza:

1. Fresh Salads (for balance and color)

- Arugula & Shaved Parmesan Salad – Bright, peppery, and Italian-approved

- Classic Caesar with Croutons – Always a crowd-pleaser

- Caprese Skewers – Mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil drizzled with balsamic glaze

Pro Tip: Serve salads on a large board next to your pizza for a rustic Italian vibe.

2. Charcuterie & Antipasti Boards

- Olives, marinated artichokes, roasted red peppers

- Prosciutto, salami, and Italian cheeses

- Breadsticks and crostini with whipped ricotta or tapenade

Create a “snack station” guests can graze on before pizza comes out of the oven.

3. Dips That Go Beyond Marinara

- Spicy Garlic Aioli

- Whipped Feta Dip with Herbs

- Pesto Hummus or Artichoke Dip

Serve with sliced veggies, pita chips, or extra pizza crust pieces.

4. Drinks to Match the Mood

- Red Wine (Chianti, Montepulciano) or a cold Peroni

- Sparkling water with lemon or orange slices

- Batch cocktails like Negroni spritz, sangria, or Aperol slushies

5. Easy Desserts to End the Night Right

- Affogato (espresso over vanilla gelato)

- Mini cannoli or tiramisu cups

- Chocolate bark or Nutella-stuffed cookies
