2. Wings

A football game without wings? Are you even trying? A staple of Super Bowl parties everywhere, chicken wings are essential to the Super Bowl viewing experience. Boneless or bone-in, it doesn’t matter. Wings are hands down the best gameday appetizer you can serve.

If your friends complain that the wing sauce is too hot, be sure to make fun of them throughout the night and give them endless grief.

Wings can also be a bit messy. So a great way to show everyone how sophisticated and gracious you are is to use your jeans as a napkin. People will be very impressed with your resourcefulness.

I think it goes without saying this Super Bowl appetizer will be a real …touchdown… with your guests.

1. Pizza

And here we have it. Possibly the most popular game-watching meal. And for good reason. Pizza has a long, rich history as one of the world’s favorite foods.

You could make the pizza yourself, but the best option is to order it for delivery. That way if someone at the party doesn’t like the pizza, you can blame it on the store. Everyone and their grandma orders pizza on Super Bowl Sunday, so order a few hours in advance if you live in a big city.

It should be noted–pineapple does not belong on a pizza. If one of your friends asks, “where’s the pineapple?” Even jokingly, you direct them outside your house. Say, “It’s out here” and then lock the door behind them.

That should just about do it. Remember to steer clear of vegetables or anything remotely healthy and your Super Bowl party won’t be a clunker.
