Frequently Asked Questions

A flat 15-foot by 15-foot area is ideal, but we can work with a little less if needed. The space should be outdoors (or covered outdoor like a patio or pavilion) with overhead clearance — no low branches or awnings — and a safe distance from anything flammable.
A few logistical things we need for setup:
A hard, level surface (concrete, pavers, asphalt, packed gravel) from where we park to the setup area. We roll our equipment in on wheels, so grass, sand, or soft dirt makes that difficult.
No stairs between the parking area and the setup spot.
At least a 3-foot-wide opening to get our equipment through (gates, doorways, side yards).
We bring everything else — no kitchen, electricity, or running water needed. If you're not sure whether your space will work, send us a few photos when you reach out and we'll let you know.

There's no minimum guest count — just a $1,200 minimum spend. That works for everything from intimate gatherings to large parties. For bigger events, we comfortably serve up to around 150 guests with a single oven setup. Planning something larger? Reach out and we'll scale up to fit.
-
Yes — we serve the greater Sacramento area, including Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Roseville, Elk Grove, and beyond. Events outside of the greater Sacramento area may include a travel fee. We'll let you know up front in your quote.
-
Everything you need for the pizza experience: our mobile oven, all ingredients, up to two hours of continuous service, setup, cleanup, the buffet table we serve from, and disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. All you need to provide is the space.
-
We can operate under a covered outdoor space (a tent, awning, or pavilion) as long as there's proper ventilation. If the forecast looks rough, we'll touch base with you the week of your event to make a plan.
-
A 50% deposit secures your date. Typically the remaining balance is due one week before event date.
-
Cancellations more than 30 days out receive a full refund of your deposit. Within 30 days, deposits are non-refundable, but we'll do our best to reschedule if your event is postponed.

Unlike a typical caterer who preps food ahead and holds it in warmers, we cook every pizza live over fire on site, so each one comes out of the oven fresh. We don't use heat lamps, since they take away from the quality of the pizza.
Because everything is made fresh, our service moves at a different pace than a standard buffet. If your wedding has a traditional dinner where all guests eat at the same time, we ask that tables be released to the buffet in waves, with a few minutes between each. For larger events, we par-bake pizzas on site to about 80% and finish them in the oven when guests are ready to eat, which keeps service moving.
When booking, please let us know whether you're planning a traditional dinner or if guests can eat whenever they like. Either way, service begins at the food service start time we agree on.

No. Our team runs the oven and buffet line for the length of service, and we clean up our own setup area when we're done. Clearing tables, collecting plates, and general venue cleanup are handled by the venue or your coordinator.
