FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do your services work?
We set up our pizza trailer at your venue. Our Neapolitan style pizza is made from scratch, stretched, and topped, by hand, in front of your guests. The pizzas are baked on-site, in our brick pizza oven. Oven cook time is about 2 minutes. The pizzas are roughly 10 inches in diameter and are cut into at least 6 pieces. All pizzas are served buffet style for your guests. The base package typically feeds up to 35 people. Additional pizza can be added to accommodate more people. Please refer to Pizza Party page for pricing.

​
Do you have a gluten free crust?
Due to our limited space and single working surface in the truck, we do not offer a gluten free pizza. Working in a small area (and usually with one oven), we can't prevent cross-contamination for people who have an actual gluten allergy versus gluten sensitivity. We don't want to put anyone at risk of a reaction. Because our Neapolitan style pizza dough undergoes a long, slow fermentation it both develops flavor and breaks down the protein strands that are the elements responsible for triggering gluten sensitivity in people. Our fermentation process is a minimum of 24 hours (but typically 36 to 48 hours). During that time, the yeast in our dough digests carbohydrates and converts them to alcohol, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid, thus improving the digestibility of our pizza. We have gotten feedback from several customers with non-celiac gluten sensitivity that have had no side effects from our pizza.
What is the footprint of your setup, how much space is required?
We require a level hard flat service. Driveways, cement or tile floor, and sidewalks work best. Our overall set up requires an approximately 20ft x 20ft area. Our pizza trailer is 6ft x 14ft. We use a 10ft x 10ft tent and our pizza oven requires approximately 4ft by 8ft of working space.
​
Do you have a non-dairy pizza option?
All of our red sauce pies can be non-dairy by simply leaving off the cheese. We also have non-dairy vegan "cheese" available for substitution. Unfortunately, due to our limited space and single working surface in the truck, we can not prevent cross-contamination for people who have a dairy allergy.
​
Can you set up in my backyard?
If your backyard is accessible with our pickup and trailer, yes. We are able to move most of our equipment out of our trailer, if necessary. For service setup away from our trailer there is an additional charge of $150.
​
What time do you arrive?
We arrive approximately 90 minutes prior to service time.
What is included?
The pizza. We also offer additional catering options. Our large meat and cheese tray, for 40 to 50 people, includes meat, cheese, and crackers. The large tray is $100. Our mixed green salad is $3 a serving. We serve that with Italian dressing and croutons. For the salad, you order as many servings as you'd like and we serve it buffet style. Plates, forks, and napkins can also be provided upon request for $1 per person/setting.
​
When do you need to know my pizza choices and/or additional pizzas needed for my party?
All food selections and event details must be finalized 10 business days prior to your scheduled event.
Can I choose more than two specialty pizza options?
With our Specialty Pizza package, you are able to choose 2 specialty pizzas from our menu, in addition to our basic pies (garlic cheese, cheese, pepperoni). If you would like to add other specialty pizzas to the lineup, it's $50 each.
​
I don't see my favorite pizza on your menu, can you still make it for me?
We can definitely work with you to create your favorite specialty pizza with ingredients accessible to us.
How long is a typical service?
We plan for up to 2 hours of service time for our base packages. Larger events, with production of 50 pizzas or more, will require additional service time at a rate of $150 per hour.
Does your oven give off smoke?
Once the oven is at temp for pizza production, there is little to no smoke produced.
