Drop-Off Delivery

Our most economical option, perfect for casual events and gatherings where you prefer to handle setup yourself. We deliver your order hot and ready at your specified time, complete with all necessary serving supplies. Each pizza is clearly labeled, and we provide setup instructions to make serving easy. This option works great for office lunches, small parties, and informal gatherings where simplicity is key.

All drop-off orders include disposable plates, napkins, serving utensils, and condiments. We package everything for easy transport and setup, with clear labeling to help you identify different pizza varieties and dietary options. Our delivery team ensures everything arrives in perfect condition and answers any questions you have about the order.

Full-Service Catering

Our premium catering option provides complete event support from start to finish. This comprehensive service includes advance planning consultation, professional setup, dedicated serving staff throughout your event, and complete cleanup afterward. It's the perfect choice for high-profile events, large gatherings, and occasions where you want to ensure every detail is handled professionally.

Full-service catering begins with a detailed planning session where we discuss your event timeline, guest count, menu preferences, and any special requirements. Our catering coordinator works with you to create a customized plan that addresses every aspect of food service. On event day, our team arrives well in advance to set up, manages all food service during the event, and handles complete cleanup before departing.

This service level includes professional serving staff who manage food stations, replenish items as needed, and ensure guests are well taken care of throughout the event. We coordinate with other vendors and venue staff to ensure seamless service. After the event, our team handles all cleanup, including removing trash, breaking down serving areas, and leaving the space clean.

Planning Your Catering Order

Successful catering starts with proper planning. We recommend contacting us at least 48-72 hours before your event, though we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller orders. Our catering specialists guide you through the ordering process, helping you determine quantities, select menu items, and coordinate logistics.

Dietary Considerations

We take dietary restrictions and preferences seriously. Our menu includes options for vegetarians, and we offer gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese upon request. When placing your order, inform us of any dietary restrictions among your guests, and we'll help you select appropriate options and ensure proper labeling.

For guests with severe allergies, we provide detailed ingredient information and can discuss preparation procedures to minimize cross-contamination risks. While we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment, we take precautions to accommodate special dietary needs whenever possible. Clear communication about dietary requirements helps us serve all your guests safely and satisfactorily.

Timing & Logistics

Proper timing is crucial for successful catering. We coordinate delivery or setup to align with your event schedule, ensuring food arrives hot and fresh when you need it. For events with specific start times, we recommend scheduling delivery 15-30 minutes before guests arrive, allowing time for final setup and ensuring everything is ready.

Consider your venue's receiving procedures and access requirements. Some locations have specific delivery windows or require advance notification. Our team works with venue staff to ensure smooth delivery and setup. For outdoor events, we discuss weather contingencies and appropriate food handling procedures to maintain quality and safety.

If your event runs longer than expected, we can arrange for additional food delivery during the event. Just let us know your timeline, and we'll coordinate accordingly. Our goal is to ensure your guests are well-fed throughout your event, regardless of how long it lasts.

Quality & Safety Standards

Food safety and quality are our top priorities. Every member of our catering team is trained in proper food handling procedures and follows strict safety protocols. We maintain temperature control throughout preparation, transport, and service to ensure food safety. Our delivery vehicles are equipped with specialized equipment to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.

All our ingredients meet high quality standards, and we source from trusted suppliers. Our pizzas are made fresh to order using premium ingredients, never frozen or pre-made. We follow all local health regulations and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness in our kitchens and during catering operations.

For outdoor events or situations where food will be displayed for extended periods, we provide guidance on proper food handling and can supply equipment like chafing dishes or coolers to maintain appropriate temperatures. Our team is trained to identify and address any food safety concerns that may arise during an event.

Sustainability Practices

We're committed to environmental responsibility in our catering operations. Our disposable serving supplies are made from recyclable or compostable materials whenever possible. We work to minimize food waste through accurate ordering guidance and proper portion planning. Leftover food can be packaged for guests to take home, reducing waste while extending the value of your catering investment.

Our delivery practices are optimized for efficiency, reducing unnecessary trips and fuel consumption. We consolidate orders when possible and plan routes to minimize environmental impact. These practices benefit both the environment and our customers through more efficient service.
