TLDR – Quick Guide

  • Opt for menu items that travel well and stay warm.

  • Offer variety: meat, veggie, and spicy options.

Detailed Breakdown

1. Go Big with Shareables Like Sausage Bread

Skip the tiny snacks. Game day hunger is real and nothing feeds the squad like Sam’s World-Famous Sausage Bread. This baked beast comes in full loaves (24 slices!) and is made for grazing throughout the game.

It travels well, reheats easily, and satisfies even the pickiest fan in your living room. Just slice, serve with marinara, and let the compliments roll in.

2. Pick Fan-Favorite Handhelds

Think burgers, sausage sandwiches, loaded dogs anything that doesn’t require a fork or knife. Game day food should be easy to hold, hard to forget, and built for bite-after-bite satisfaction.

Our go-tos? The NY Style Sausage Burger and The Parm Legend, both of which bring bold flavor and serious game-day vibes.

3. Don’t Sleep on the Sides

Nobody’s mad at crispy fries, golden onion rings, or a pile of jalapeño poppers. They’re essential fuel for tense fourth quarters or unexpected overtime.

Pro tip: Sides are perfect for delivery since they hold heat and crunch well in an air fryer or oven if you need to reheat mid-game. Order extra because someone always goes in for seconds.

4. Mix It Up for the Crowd

Your group isn’t one-size-fits-all, so your menu shouldn’t be either. Cover your bases with:

  • Meat-lovers’ favorites like the Sausage Slammer

  • Veg-friendly options like the eggplant Parm Legend

  • Spicy picks like the Kickin’ Chicken Sando

Let your guests choose their adventure. Bonus: fewer complaints, more clean plates.

5. Build a DIY Food Station

Instead of dishing out individual orders, set up a DIY sandwich or hot dog bar. Have buns, sausages, toppings, sauces, and sides laid out buffet-style.

It saves you from playing short-order cook, gives guests control, and keeps the party vibe going. Delivery makes this easy just transfer items to trays and go.
