BUILD A TEAM

To throw a great pizza party, we need to find the local crypto community, whether online or in person.

Contact the organizers or admins of any events or groups within an hour or so of your city and ask if they want to co-host the pizza party.

If they don’t know much about PizzaDAO, show them this short documentary or Laszlo’s Intro to PizzaDAO.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Search combinations of “bitcoin”, “blockchain”, “web3”, “ethereum”, “nft”, “meetup”, “crypto”, and your city to find local communities on google, eventbrite, twitter, meetup, and facebook.

Don’t be afraid to ask your friends or social media for help connecting the dots! If you’re really struggling, drop by PizzaDAO's discord for help or get in touch with your underboss.

CREATE YOUR BUDGET SHEET

Easily track and manage your expenses and sponsors with our party budget template. Once you’ve made one for your event, link it to your city’s name in the cities spreadsheet.

Locate your city’s folder in the cities folder and add needed information before and after your event. If your city doesn’t have a folder, create one.

Use our invoice template to send professional invoices or have your sponsors fill out our sponsor form and our payments team will take care of it.

Fill out your post-event form with photos of all receipts.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Send invoices to sponsors as early as possible so planning can get underway.

Be sure to upload all your party receipts!

FINDING YOUR

PARTY VENUE

A pizzeria, public space, or co-working space are great places for a first year meet-up that you can likely secure for free. Track venue options in your organizing sheet.

If this is your first time, aim for 25-75 guests. If you’re a seasoned pro, let's talk numbers and take this to the next level, capiche?

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Find a space that classically represents your part of the world. When people see the photos, they gotta feel like it's a party that represents our global famiglia.

If you have more momentum and community support, try for a more epic location like a famous local landmark!

FIND PARTNERS TO HELP PAY FOR THE PARTY

We’ll pay for up to $625 of pizza for your party. if you’re throwing a big party you’ll need extra funding, connect with local blockchain companies and use our Sponsor Menu to make a deal. All details are negotiable - make your partners an offer they can’t refuse and track them in your budget sheet.

Tell your potential sponsors about your community partners and your venue. They’ll be more interested to participate if you have lots of local interest or opportunities for great photos.

🍕PRO-TIP

Check out PizzaDAO’s Sponsorship Guide if you need help connecting with and securing partners for your event. If you’re really struggling, drop by the PizzaDAO discord and ask for help in the #biz-dev channel.

PROVIDING THE

PIZZA & DRINKS

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Pace out the pizza and bevs to ensure you can keep the party rollin’ all night long. A pizza delivery every 45 minutes is a good place to start.

There needs to be enough food and drinks for everyone so keep a watchful eye to restock as needed. You can estimate that a large pizza (16”+) feeds 3-4 people, and that a Neapolitan style (around 12”) feeds about 1.5 people per pizza.

Two drinks per person should be plenty. Water has to be available. Make a big stack of your empty pizza boxes so people can take photos with it!

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Post a bunch on socials, do some twitter spaces, and make sure all your event partners share and boost announcements! Get some flyers printed if you’re in a position to post them or hand them out in your area.

LORE & TRADITIONS

OF THE PIZZA DAO

“What’s your favorite topping + mafia movie?”

We’re known for big piles of empty pizza boxes, red and white checkered tablecloths, noggles, DOGE masks, and live art at our parties. Bring your own local flavor to the event!

Plan some fun activities to encourage your guests to meet each other. Hang posters and banners and give out stickers to spread the good word.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Make a huge sculpture out of the empty pizza boxes to stun and awe the guests. If you’re making a tall tower be sure to completely shut each box so you don’t have a weak brick.

Set the right mood with Pizza Collection. This music is perfect on shuffle for the first hour or two while people arrive and get comfortable.

Then back to the party! Throw on the community mixtape, then hand it over to any DJs we may be working with or throw Pizza Collection back on.

We want the venue to remember us fondly and be excited to host us again in the future!

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

IT’S THE PIZZA WAY

Don't forget to show some love to your guests, vendors, and volunteers who helped make your pizza party awesome.

Send a thank-you message and post on social media to show your appreciation and encourage them to join in on the fun next time. Tag all your partners in the post.

A little bit of gratitude can go a long way and keep your pizza party famiglia strong!

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

GATHER

THE FAMILIES

Ask your party guests for their feedback, so you can learn how to throw an even better pizza party next time!

Sending out a survey or feedback form through email or social media is a good idea, so you can identify what worked and what didn't.

With that kind of feedback, next year you'll be able to really knock your guests' socks off!

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Use our post-event survey to collect feedback on the event. Print a link to the form as a QR code and place it by the door for folks to scan as they depart the pizza party.

SAVE THE MEMORIES

After your pizza party is over, don't forget to share all the sweet footage with the PizzaDAO famiglia.

We'll use it to show off on the website, social media, and even to woo some future sponsors to join the cause.

Trust us, nothing sells a party better than our community.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Coordinate with your photographs, videographers to get footage after the event. Encourage attendees to capture their night and post it on social tagging @Pizza_DAO and @RarePizzas on Twitter and @RarePizzasNFT on Instagram.
