Josh and I have had to get a little creative with dates recently. We normally love to be out and about and doing all the things. But for the last nine months we’ve been laying low and staying home. While we’re now home all the time, I thought it would be fun to plan to do things together. Enter: a pizza and movie date night!
We supported local by ordering pizza and dessert from Casey’s. If you are not from the Midwest you may not have heard of Casey’s. It is a beloved gas station that is famous for its pizza. With the 24 Days of Casey’s, daily deals are available within the Casey’s Rewards app and everyone has a chance to win $500 in holiday cash by signing up.
Josh and I had actually never tried the pizza before (we’re transplants!) so this felt like the perfect time to change that. It was exciting to have something new to try and look forward to during quarantine!
We ordered our meals on the app (so easy!), got a little dressed up, and drove to pick up our food. Casey’s delivers if you need them too, but it was honestly nice to go for a drive and listen to Christmas music.
You can pick-up food from Casey’s curbside or in the store. Just be sure to wear a mask if you do!
Josh and I went to town with our order. We got pizza, Buffalo wings, and potato cheese bites. Let me tell you our mouths were watering on the drive back home!
Spoiler alert: we loved everything! Casey’s did not disappoint. I especially loved the chicken quesadilla pizza and went to town on the wings. Josh was a fan of the veggie pizza and potato cheese bites. He didn’t want to share!
What was also so fun was the dessert board we made to munch on while we watched Hallmark movies. It made the night feel so festive and fun! I wasn’t sure what to expect from the prepackaged treats, but they were honestly delicious. Casey’s makes quality stuff and I know where I’m going to stock up on snacks for my next road-trip! (Oh, how I hope I can road-trip soon!!)
Our pizza and movie date night was so much fun and a much-needed reminder that experiences are what you make them. Choosing to find the magic and wonderment in an otherwise routine night in quarantine helped make it so special. Now every time I pass a Casey’s it brings a little smile to my face because of our experience.
Questions of the Day: How are you making special moments during Quarantine? Have you tried Casey’s? What’s your favorite pizza topping?
Thank you to Casey’s for sponsoring this post and giving us the gift of such a special date night!
I’m a big fan of at-home date nights, but I think we all have to be right now. Ha! And pizza? Yum!
I love pizza! 😍
But what movie did you watch?!
Casey’s is good. If you are in KC you should try Minsky’s!
Love Actually!! My fave! Ohh I can’t wait to get back to KC! I miss travel.
Oh wow that pizza looks so yummy! This looks like a really simple and fun date night and those are the best kinds!
So fun! I am really missing our holiday date night we usually have but this is inspiring me!
The food looks absolutely delicious! Nothing better than a great pizza date night! I love your dessert board too. So cute!
Okay, how fun is this? I love that it’s a Midwest-specific thing, but I’m also a little envious because that pizza looks amazing and now I want to try it too! We’ve been loving our creative at-home date nights but haven’t done pizza in ages. Thanks for the suggestions!
This post definitely made me smile. We have a few Casey’s here in Minnesota and i have heard good things about their pizza although I’ve never had it either. (What’s wrong with me?) I think hitting up a gas station for date night is classic 2020. Sounds like you guys had fun!
We don’t have Casey’s our way in California but we love pizza! I love that you got dressed up and made it a special night. We’ve been coming up with fun ideas like making crepes together, eisco dance night where we made up our own moves, and wine tasting with cheese board. It’s been really fun to get creative, and we’ve saving a ton of money!!!
After a certain age you just wanna stay home and order pizza! I love to do that!
