Having a large gathering to feed? People always arrive hungry, whether it’s for a birthday celebration, an impromptu team lunch, or just your friends joining you for a game night. And let’s face it, how can you feed a group without using up your entire paycheck? That requires some wise decisions.
This is where Papa Ray’s is useful. We have enough experience in the culinary arts to know how to deliver substantial quantities, robust flavors, and excellent value. I now have the solution to your question, “What is the best food for a group that won’t cost me an arm and a leg?”
Start with the MVP: Pizza
Let’s start with pizza, which is undoubtedly the highlight of any group supper. Everyone loves it for a reason: it’s cheesy, hot, easy to share, and there’s always a slice for every type of eater. In addition to pizza, Papa Ray’s offers enormous pies and Monster Slices that can feed the entire staff without requiring a second mortgage.
Depending on how hungry everyone is (because, let’s face it, they’re always hungry), our big pizzas are ideal for feeding groups of four to six people. You can use half-and-half, mix and match toppings, or stick to popular options like cheese, BBQ chicken, or pepperoni. You can’t go wrong with a $94.95 package of five big one-topping pizzas if you’re organizing a party or team lunch!
Wings That Fly Off the Table
Now, no group meal is complete without a tray of wings. They’re the perfect side—or main dish—for anyone who wants a little kick, a little crunch, and a whole lot of flavor.
At Papa Ray’s, we’ve got wings in ten tasty flavors—from Mild and BBQ for the easy-going types, to Spicy Garlic, Mango Habanero, and our bold Suicide wings for the brave ones. You can order them in trays of 25, 50, or even 100 pieces depending on your crowd size. It’s an easy way to keep everyone happy, full, and reaching for just one more.
Add the Sides, Feed More Bellies
You want to make a group meal stretch even further? Sides are your best friend. Garlic bites, mozzarella sticks, crinkle-cut fries, and Bosco breadsticks—these are the little extras that make a meal feel complete.
Our garlic bites and cheesy breadsticks are always crowd favorites, and they come in generous portions at budget-friendly prices. Order a few trays and you’ve got snacks to keep everyone munching between slices.
And don’t forget the pasta! Our pasta trays—whether it’s Alfredo cavatappi, classic marinara, or meat sauce—can serve 10–15 people easy. It’s warm, comforting, and guaranteed to fill up the heartiest appetites.
Big Portions, Bigger Value
We know what it’s like to plan a meal for a crowd. You need food that satisfies, pleases a lot of different tastes, and doesn’t cost more than the event itself. That’s why we’ve built our catering and group menus with real people (and real budgets) in mind.
From combo deals and family bundles to party trays and daily specials, Papa Ray’s has something for every occasion. Whether you’re feeding five people or fifty, we’ll help you put together a meal that feels big without the big price tag.
