What’s better than opening a warm takeout container and letting the savory steam rise with the aromas of your favorite comfort food? We’re hard-pressed to think of anything. We can, however, think of a way to make your takeout order just that much better: breadsticks. Think about it: what’s so good that warm breadsticks can’t make it better? Nothing. It might sound like a little thing to add to your order, but trust us, it will make a difference.
Breadsticks are the unsung heroes of takeout. Here’s why this simple side is just the thing to make your order complete.
The Perfect Complement
Whether you’re ordering pasta, pizza, wings, or even salad, breadsticks are a universally compatible side. They soak up sauces, balance out bold flavors, and provide your palate with something neutral and satisfying to reset between bites. That leftover marinara? Breadsticks. Garlic butter at the bottom of the box? Breadsticks. They’re functional and delicious.
You Get More Bang for Your Buck
Ordering out isn’t the cheapest option for dinner, but breadsticks are one of the most cost-effective ways to bulk up your meal. For a few extra dollars, you get something warm, filling, and shareable (or not—no judgment). Especially if you’re sharing with family or friends, a basket of breadsticks makes sure no one leaves hungry.
They’re the Ultimate Comfort Food
There’s something deeply comforting about warm, doughy bread fresh from the oven, especially when it’s brushed with butter and garlic. Breadsticks offer a kind of culinary nostalgia that brings a touch of homestyle coziness to any takeout meal, no matter how hectic your day may be.
They Make the Leftovers Better
Leftovers are inevitable, and breadsticks keep well. They reheat well and can double as a snack the next day or a side for whatever you’re having for dinner. So, go ahead and add some breadsticks to your order tonight. You’ll thank yourself later.
