The menu for this party couldn't be more simple. Pizza, salad, bread sticks Italian Sodas...Italian food however, is deceptively easy. To make it great, you must have great recipes with fresh ingredients. This recipe from SeriousEats.com looks delicious. THIS is my marinara recipe, which I also use for pizza sauce. The recipe is a little involved, but it make a lot and you can make it ahead to feed a crowd. It's best the second or third day when all the flavors have married.. the secret to it.. use a sweet yellow onion.. the sweetest you can find. White onions are for Mexican food.. a lesson I've learned the hard way too many times. However, if you want to make this as little work as possible... purchase a couple of bottles of Contadina Pizza Squeeze sauce, which is, in my opinion, the best grocery store version. 
Italian sodas would make it so much fun and you can even do straws and whip cream if you want. Teenagers love this...
These traditional Italian bread sticks are available on Amazon, but they or similar will be available at your local market. For dessert Neapolitan Ice Cream, Apple Slices with Nutella, or some bits of Perugina Chocolate bars... Yummm...
