Pizza is among the most widely beloved comfort foods in the U.S. Whether you enjoy this Italian-American specialty topped with vegetables, meats, or extra cheese, you might still be looking for different dishes to enjoy alongside your favorite pie. The next time you dine at a pizzeria or order delivery, here are some sides and appetizers to try.

What Should You Order With Pizza?

1. Garlic Bread

No pizza dinner would be complete without garlic bread. These thick slices of dough coated in garlic butter and baked until golden brown make the perfect prelude to pizza topped with your favorite meats and vegetables. Make this appetizer even more decadent by ordering it topped with cheese and with a side of savory marinara dipping sauce.

2. Salad

A cold and light salad can make a refreshing accompaniment to hot and hearty pizza. A simple garden or chef salad made with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber can round out the dinner with an extra serving of healthy vegetables. If you want a more substantial salad, many pizzerias offer antipasto, which features cured meats, provolone, and olives atop a bed of greens.

3. Chicken Wings

Chicken wings baked until crispy and slathered in sweet and spicy sauces can make any pizza dinner a true meat lover's delight. Mouthwatering wings add a savory kick to the meal and taste even more delicious when dipped in ranch dressing and washed down with soda or sweet tea. Ordering chicken wings alongside pizza can also give you an extra boost of protein, which the body uses to build strong muscles and repair tissues.

4. Cheese Sticks

If you have a passion for cheese, cheese sticks are an essential companion to pizza. These breaded and deep-fried chunks of mozzarella are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Enjoy a delectable flavor contrast by dipping the sticks in a side of marinara.
