New Year’s Eve deserves better than frozen appetizers and a bag of chips you found in the pantry. If you’re feeding a crowd this NYE, Godfather’s has the food, the portions, and the feasts to make it happen without spending the whole night in the kitchen. Order early, feed everyone, and actually enjoy the countdown.
NYE parties have a food problem. The guest list grows, the snack table empties by 10pm, and someone’s always stuck reheating something while everyone else is in the living room. Pizza solves most of that. It’s easy to portion, arrives ready to go, feeds a crowd without assembly, and holds up through a long night.
We handle large group orders all the time — birthdays, graduations, corporate lunches — and NYE is exactly the kind of event our feasts are built for. Here’s how to set your party up right.
Party Packages Built for NYE
The Feasts are the backbone of any large NYE order. They’re designed to feed groups, come with sides included, and cut your per-person cost down significantly compared to ordering everything à la carte.
Build Your Own Feast (Large): $45.99 | Lg Specialty + Lg 1-Topping + Side | Feeds 5–7
Pizza & Wing Feast (Medium): $45.99 | Med Specialty + Med 1-Topping + Full Wings | Feeds 4–6
Pizza & Wing Feast (Large): $55.99 | Lg Specialty + Lg 1-Topping + Full Wings | Feeds 5–7
For a party of 15–20, two Large Pizza & Wing Feasts plus a Pizza Pack (Four Large 1-Topping Pizzas, $75.00, feeds 12–16) covers the whole crowd. That’s a lot of food for a NYE party at a price that doesn’t ruin January. Our catering page has full details if you want to go bigger or need help scoping out quantities.
Wings are a must for NYE. People graze during parties — they’re not sitting down for a full meal, they’re walking around, holding drinks, grabbing food off the table. Wings are perfect for that. Bone-in or boneless, all three sauces (naked, buffalo, BBQ), served with ranch or blue cheese. A full order is $26.49 and goes fast in a party crowd.
The Midnight Menu: What to Order for Late-Night Eating
Midnight on NYE is different from dinner at 7. By that point, people have been eating and drinking for hours and they want something that tastes like a decision they made consciously. Our top picks for that midnight window:
Taco Pie. Taco sauce, beef, onions, tomatoes, cheddar and mozzarella, with lettuce and tomato added fresh after baking. It’s different enough to feel like a choice, filling enough to do the job, and shareable without any awkward cutting. Check our top picks if you want the full specialty rundown before you commit to a build.
All-Meat Combo. Ham, pepperoni, bacon, beef, Italian sausage, sausage, mozzarella. If people are hungry late, this is the answer. Nobody turns down a slice of the All-Meat at midnight.
Hot Stuff. Pepperoni, beef, Italian sausage, jalapeños, onions, mozzarella on Signature Sauce. For the crowd that wants something with kick at the end of the night. Goes well with a beer, a countdown, and good company.
And don’t skip dessert. The Cinnamon Monkey Bread ($7.79) is warm pull-apart sweet bread with icing — it disappears at parties. Caramel Monkey Bread is the same format with caramel instead of cinnamon. The Big Chocolate Chip Cookie ($7.79) is six servings of fresh-baked cookie, still soft in the middle, and easy to put out on a table for people to grab. All three are crowd-pleasers and come in at under $8.
Sides That Hold the Table Together
A NYE party table needs more than pizza. The sides are what fill the space between slices and keep people at the food station.
Cheesesticks ($7.79 small / $12.24 large) are the best party side — garlic, Italian seasoning, mozzarella, with marinara on the side. Easy to grab, easy to share, gone fast. Potato Wedges at $6.74 are seasoned and baked golden and work as a standalone side for people who want something different. Our sides guide breaks down the full lineup with honest takes on what’s worth ordering in quantity.
If you’re building out the order, think about having a dedicated sides table separate from the pizza — it keeps the crowd moving and makes it easier for people to mix and match what they want.
For crust options, Original is the classic and holds up well even after sitting out for a bit. Golden crust is crispier and slightly lighter. For a party where pizza might sit under a box for 20 minutes before someone grabs a slice, Original is the safer call.
How to Order for NYE: Timing Is Everything
NYE is one of the busiest food nights of the year. If you’re planning a party, do not wait until 6pm on December 31st to place your order. Here’s the timeline that works:
Order 3–5 days in advance for large orders. Call (210) 750-2222 to book a catering order and confirm quantities. We’ll lock it in and make sure everything is ready on time.
For delivery orders on the night itself, order at least 90 minutes before you need the food. NYE delivery demand is high everywhere in San Antonio. Placing a 7pm order for an 8:30pm party is the right call. Don’t place the order at 9:45pm and expect it before midnight.
Carryout is always faster. If your party is close enough to 151, pick it up yourself. Call ahead 20–25 minutes before arrival, walk in, grab the order, and head to the party. Zero delivery wait, food arrives exactly when you need it.
For parties where the scale is larger — corporate NYE event, big family gathering, apartment complex party — our party guide walks through exactly how to set up an order, plan quantities, and make the food the thing people talk about on January 1st.
FAQ
How much pizza do I need for a NYE party?
A general rule: one large pizza feeds 3–4 adults as a party slice (not a full meal). For 20 people, plan on 5–6 large pizzas plus wings and sides. Our feasts are the most cost-effective way to scale up — the Pizza Pack (Four Large 1-Topping Pizzas, $75.00) feeds 12–16 on its own, and you can stack multiple orders.
Do you do catering for New Year’s Eve parties?
Yes. Call (210) 750-2222 to book a catering order. For large groups, we recommend placing your order 3–5 days in advance so we can confirm quantities and have everything ready on time. Don’t wait until the day of for a big order.
What are the best NYE party foods from your menu?
The All-Meat Combo and Taco Pie are the two specialty pizzas that disappear fastest at parties. Wings (full order, $26.49) are essential for grazing. Add Cheesesticks and at least one Cinnamon Monkey Bread for dessert — those go faster than you think.
Can I order online for a large NYE party?
You can order online at godfathers.orderexperience.net for standard orders. For large catering orders or anything that needs confirmed timing and quantities, call (210) 750-2222 directly — it’s faster and makes sure nothing gets missed.
