Super Bowl Sunday is the single busiest day of the year for pizza restaurants nationwide, and North Georgia is no exception. If you plan to order pizza for the game, you need to plan ahead more than you think.
Order at least two to three hours before kickoff. Mountain pizza restaurants have smaller kitchens and fewer staff than their metro counterparts. During the Super Bowl rush, they can get overwhelmed quickly. Place your order in the early afternoon for an evening pickup or delivery.
Pickup is more reliable than delivery. Delivery drivers are in high demand on Super Bowl Sunday, and mountain addresses are harder to find in the dark. If you can drive to the restaurant, pickup eliminates the uncertainty of delivery timing.
Call rather than using online ordering. Online ordering systems do not always reflect the restaurant's capacity during peak periods. Calling the restaurant directly lets you confirm that your order is in the queue and get a realistic pickup time.
Order extra. Cold pizza on Monday morning is a Super Bowl tradition, and mountain restaurants will be too busy to take a second order if you run out. Add an extra pizza to your order.
Most pizza restaurants in Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and Hiawassee participate in Super Bowl Sunday with extended hours. Check individual listings for specific hours and ordering instructions.
