PLANNING THE PARTY

7 of 30

PIZZADAO.XYZ

CONNECT WITH YOUR LOCAL PIZZA PALS

To make this pizza party the talk of the town, we gotta find our local web3 community wherever they are online or in person.

Once we do, we reach out to the organizers or admins of any events or groups within an hour or so of our city and ask if they want to co-host the pizza party.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Search combinations of “bitcoin”, “blockchain”, “web3”, “ethereum”, “nft”, “meetup”, 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.

PIZZADAO.XYZ

FINDING YOUR

PARTY PALACE

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

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

A pizzeria, public space, or co-working space is a great place for a first year meet-up that you can likely secure for free. If you have more momentum and community support, try for a more epic location like a famous local landmark!

9 of 30

PIZZADAO.XYZ

GET THAT CHEESE & SOURCE PIZZA PARTNERS

Connect with the coolest, most respectable blockchain companies in your area and get them on board!

Use our Sponsor Menu to close the deal. All details are negotiable. Make them an offer they can’t refuse, even as low as $314.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Flex all your community partners and your cool venue when you’re talking to the company. They’ll be much more interested in participating if you have a lot of local interest or opportunities for great photos.

IT'S NOT PERSONAL, SONNY. IT'S STRICTLY BUSINESS

Effortlessly track and manage your expenses and sponsors with our party budget template.

Use our invoice template to send professional invoices or have your sponsors fill out our sponsor form.

Email your receipts to hello+billing@rarepizzas.com

with subject “2024 Receipts CITY” to maintain a comprehensive record of costs.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

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

Be sure to upload all your party receipts!

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Introduce the representatives from the communities and organizations involved in the event to each other in the city’s group chat. Encourage everyone in the community to contribute however they want!

SPREAD THE�GOOD WORD

Invite every local crypto community, plus other communities that might enjoy some pizza! PizzaDAO events are great for blockchain newbies.

Spread the word throughout the city and have a legendary pizza party. Social media and Eventbrite posts can go a long way. Better yet, try to get PR/Press in your city (we will have a press release template for you!)

🍕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.

ORDERING THE PIZZA

PizzaDAO only orders independent pizza. Make sure there's enough food and drinks for everyone and keep a watchful eye to replenish 'em as needed. You only have $625 for Pizza so the local sponsors your team found will be important.

We can't let anyone go hungry or thirsty on our watch, so keep those pizzas coming and those drinks flowing.

🍕PRO-TIP🍕

Pace out the pizza and bevs to ensure you can keep the party rollin’ all night long. If you’re running low, your Pizza Captain can help coordinate getting more of whatcha need.

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.

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.

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.
