If your company is still going ahead with holiday festivities, time’s running out to make arrangements. With smaller gatherings or in-office celebrations in mind, here are some resources for a recession-proof—but fun—party.
1. Big Mama’s and Big Papa’s Pizza delivers a 2,916-square-inch pie that yields more than 200 slices, enough to serve 50 to 70 people. A cheese pizza is $199.99, plus $14.99 for each topping. Delivery is available to the ground floor of a venue, or other floors if the building has an elevator containing double doors at least 58 inches wine. Twenty-four hours' notice is required for delivery anywhere in Los Angeles County.
2. Mac-and-cheese delivery service Paddy Mac can bring hot, ready-to-serve pasta to holiday parties. Six different flavors are available; for $66, you can get 20 to 30 servings of the Ship, a five-cheese blend. Chafing dishes are an additional $9.
3. Sweet Square is offering seasonal desserts like mint brownies, cran-apple bars, and Hanukkah and Christmas-themed crispy rice squares for $18 a dozen. Orders requires 72 hours' notice.
4. For sweet parting gifts, P.O.P. Candy has a holiday-flavored version of its signature butter crunch candy that includes walnuts, cherries, and thyme. Four two-ounce cello bags are $14. Deliveries are available in the Santa Monica area, or pick-ups can be arranged.
