Meatball Calzone

Pizza shops and food delivery are sure to be flooded with orders on the day of the game. Instead of turning to takeout menus, whip up your own meatball calzones (made in 30 minutes). Serve whole or in slices for individual pieces.

You can also set your party apart by going the extra yard with easy, football-themed entertaining décor. For cocktails or sodas, serve beverages in mason jars, marked like a football with duct tape and add a chevron straw with a yard line inspired banner for guests to easily label their drinks!

If you're adding snacks like popcorn and chips to your tablescape, skip the bowl and give guests individual football-decorated brown bags. Easy to serve and no cleanup necessary!
