At every company Christmas party it’s always fun to see how people behave outside of the office. For many it’s a time to let loose and get crazy, but for others it’s just another event.
As a fun twist this holiday season, we decided to pair up your typical Christmas party personalities with some delicious Famoso pizzas!
There is always someone like this at a party. The parent takes care of everyone throughout the night and makes sure to clean up during and after the party.
They are always the rock of the group, keeping everything under control. Similarly, the Margherita Pizza is a staple in the pizza world. Always there, always delicious — it’s the pizza you can always depend on.
With authentic Campania tomato sauce, fior-di-latte, fresh basil, Grana Padano and extra-virgin olive oil, you can be confident that it will be there to take care of your taste buds.
Have you ever had that person that takes advantage of every single event? If so, you might have a climber on your hands. Every event is an opportunity for them to increase their status in the company or network with the boss.
People seem to love or hate the climber. People are also very passionate about one ingredient on our next pizza. Pineapple.
The debate has been going on for years but it seems that the pineapple has climbed its way into the pizza world and is here to stay!
The Authentic Italian Capicola Ham and Pineapple Pizza with Campania tomato sauce, fior-di-latte, italian capicola, smoked mozzarella and, of course, pineapple, will convince those that are hesitant to give it a chance and it’s a delicious option for everyone else.
No matter where you work, there is always someone new wandering around. No one knows how long they will last or who they are. Maybe they were only hired for a seasonal position.
In the workplace they are usually quiet and focused, but with a few drinks they will become an open book. If they are only temporary, they might not have anything to lose. These wild cards are always interesting to have around.
The Prawn Pesto pizza captures this personality perfectly. This seasonal feature doesn’t hold back. It is fully loaded with fior-di-latte, seasoned ricotta, garlic citrus prawns, roasted garlic, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, pistachio pesto and a playful lemon wedge on top.
This feature won’t be around forever so make sure to try it before it’s gone!
Different. That’s how this person will describe themselves. They always need to be doing something different from everyone else and they love trying new things. They might be found trying to convince the dj to play an alternative Christmas song.
Trying new things should always be encouraged, but this person takes it to a whole new level. With this in mind, let’s explore our next pizza. The Cavoletti.
Most times when you think about Brussels sprouts you think of holiday dinners, but for this pizza every day is a holiday.
The Cavoletti is loaded with oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, prosciutto crisps, gorgonzola, dates, walnuts and honey. Definitely unique and, let’s be honest, quite intriguing!
Someone couldn’t get a babysitter for the night of the company Christmas party so they brought their kid with them. Once the kid gets bored of sitting and watching the adults, they will start to wander around the Christmas party.
Since their parent is off enjoying the festivities, the forgotten kid has all the freedom in the world. So many choices!
The 7” pizzetta is an option for every pizza, but for the kids’ special they will have four choices. Kids can choose Pepperoni, Ham and Pineapple, the Quattro Formaggi or the Vesuvio.
This person loves their work and just wants to be left alone. They keep working well into the party and they are reluctant to join in.
They don’t like the change of atmosphere in the office around the holidays and they want things around the office to return to normal.
This sets us up for our next pizza. Pepperoni and Roasted Mushroom. Keeping things simple yet delicious, this pizza is loaded with fior-di-latte, Campania tomato sauce, pepperoni and roasted mushrooms.
It is quite clear who this person is. They have an air of authority when they walk through the room.
At the Christmas party they control the festivities and with all the different personalities of their employees, it is important for the boss to stay on their toes.
A bold leader deserves a bold pizza. The Primavera has a wide variety of ingredients to satisfy every taste.
With smoked mozzarella, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, roasted mushrooms, Kalamata olives, red onions, fresh basil and Grana Padano, the Primavera will command the room.
Since there is so much time spent in the office, you get to know the people you share it with really well. If a couple decides to take things to the next level and hide it from their co-workers, the change in demeanor can be quite transparent.
Although they do their best to hide it, at the Christmas party they both might disappear unexpectedly. There would have been subtle rumours spreading throughout the office by this point and the Christmas party would almost confirm them.
The Spicy Thai pizza captures this romance with spicy peanut sauce, roasted chicken, fior-di-latte, smoked mozzarella, carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, crushed peanuts, lime wedge.
The lover of the holidays! This person will be the one over-decorating the office or their desk and blasting Christmas music in early November.
Style no longer matters to them during the holiday season. They find the most obnoxious Christmas sweaters they can and they stick to it.
Just like their sweater wearing counterparts, the Prosciutto Arugula pizza doesn’t hold back. It’s completely overloaded with prosciutto and arugula, topped with Grana Padano, fresh basil and a lemon wedge.
This person will be the most quiet in the office. They stick to themselves, do their job, only socialize when necessary and they head home.
Their shell seems impenetrable, but they just might surprise you at the Christmas party! After a couple drinks, they will be socializing with everyone as if they are best friends. Sometimes becoming the center of attention.
Named after the sleeping giant, Mount Vesuvius, the Vesuvio pizza is waiting for you. With Soppressata (spicy salami) and house-made chili oil, this pizza will take you by surprise, so tread lightly!
Everything is photo-worthy for this person. They will spend the whole night finding new friends to take photos with and they won’t stop until the Christmas party has been recorded in some way.
Their phone is out and ready to be used. They always take a million photos and they will post to social media all night long. The next day they will be going through them all and reliving the events of the night. Their pizza order will be based on its photogenic-ness — whether or not they even eat a slice is debatable.
With Italian ham, roasted mushrooms, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives and extra virgin olive oil, the Capricciosa is an Instagram-worthy pizza that captures this bold personality.
