Whether you're feeding a hungry family, hosting a game night with friends, or planning an office lunch, ordering the right combo deal can make a big difference in both satisfaction and value. At Pizza Depot, we offer a variety of combo options designed for different occasions and group sizes. In this guide, we'll share our insider tips for choosing the perfect combo deal for any situation.
Understanding the Basics of Combo Value
Before diving into specific scenarios, let's understand what makes a combo deal worthwhile:
- Cost savings: A good combo should save you money compared to ordering items individually.
- Variety: The best combos offer a mix of flavors and textures to satisfy different preferences.
- Appropriate quantity: The combo should provide the right amount of food for your group with minimal waste.
- Balance: Look for a good balance of main dishes (pizza), sides (wings, bread), and refreshments.
Family Dinner Combos
Feeding a family requires balancing different tastes while keeping everyone happy. Here's how to nail the perfect family combo:
For a Family of 3-4:
- One large pizza with half-and-half toppings (accommodate different preferences)
- One medium pizza with a crowd-pleasing topping like pepperoni or cheese
- A small order of wings (10-12 pieces) with a not-too-spicy flavor
- Garlic bread or breadsticks
- A 2-liter bottle of soda or family-sized iced tea
Pro tip: Our "Family Feast" combo is perfectly sized for this scenario, but consider adding extra breadsticks if you have hungry teenagers!
For a Family of 5-6:
- Two large pizzas with different toppings
- A large order of wings (20 pieces) with two different flavors
- Cheesy breadsticks and a side salad
- Two 2-liter bottles of different beverages
Pro tip: Our "Extended Family" combo is designed for larger families and includes a dessert pizza that's perfect for sharing.
Party Combos
Whether it's a birthday party, game night, or casual get-together, here's how to feed a crowd:
For 10-15 Guests:
- 4-5 large pizzas with a variety of toppings (include at least one vegetarian option)

Customizing Your Combo
Don't see a pre-made combo that fits your needs? No problem! Here are some tips for creating your own perfect combination:
- Calculate per person: Generally, allow 2-3 slices per adult and 1-2 slices per child.
- Mix crust types: Order different crust styles (thin, regular, thick) to please everyone.
- Balance flavors: If ordering multiple pizzas, include a range from plain cheese to fully loaded.
- Consider dietary needs: We offer gluten-sensitive crusts and plant-based toppings for those with special dietary requirements.

Planning for Leftovers
One of the joys of ordering pizza is enjoying the leftovers the next day! If you're specifically wanting leftovers, here's how to adjust your order:
- Add one extra pizza beyond what you need for the meal
- Choose toppings that reheat well (pepperoni, sausage, ham)
- Request extra sauce packets for reheating
Pro tip: Pizza Depot pizzas are best reheated in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes with a lid, or in an oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. Avoid the microwave if possible!
