We arrive at least 30 minutes before you would like us to serve pizza. Times vary depending on the event details and earlier arrivals can be arranged and are subject to additional service charges.

Vegan cheese is available on request. May incur extra charges.
Weather
We bring a gazebo to shelter us from rain while we make pizza. Storms and strong winds are an unfortunate reality of an outdoor operation and can slow things down considerably. Selecting a sheltered site for us to operate will be helpful in such cases. A well ventilated structure like a warehouse, carport or barn is ideal.
