How It Works
Tell Us About Your Wedding
Share your plans, guest numbers, and venue details. We’ll create a bespoke catering quote that fits seamlessly into your day.
We Bring the Van
Our fully self-contained pizza van arrives ready to serve complete with our traditional wood-fired oven, dough, and fresh toppings.
We Serve, You Celebrate
Guests can watch each pizza being stretched, topped, and cooked in 90 seconds – a fun, interactive experience that’s as entertaining as it is tasty.
Is a Pizza Van Right for Your Wedding?
A wood-fired pizza van is a popular choice for couples looking for relaxed, informal wedding food that still feels special. Mobile pizza catering works particularly well when you want food that’s fresh, sociable and loved by almost everyone.
Wedding Evening Food
Pizza vans are ideal for wedding evening food, served after the main meal when guests are ready for something comforting and informal. Freshly made, wood-fired pizzas keep energy high and encourage guests back onto the dance floor — without the formality of a sit-down service.
Outdoor & Marquee Weddings
If you’re planning an outdoor wedding or marquee reception, a mobile pizza van fits perfectly. We regularly provide outdoor wedding catering in Manchester and the surrounding areas, setting up close to the marquee or reception space so guests can see their pizzas being made and cooked.
Informal or Festival-Style Weddings
For couples planning a festival-style or relaxed wedding, pizza van catering creates a laid-back atmosphere that feels social rather than staged. Guests can eat when they like, choose their toppings and enjoy freshly cooked food without queues or rigid serving times.
This style of wood-fired pizza wedding catering is perfect if you want great food without formality
Wedding Pizza Van Logistics – What You Need to Know
We make the logistics simple, even if you’ve never booked mobile catering before.
Space Required
Our pizza vans typically require:
- A flat, hard-standing space
- Approximately one standard parking space
- Reasonable access for arrival and departure
If your venue has restricted access, we’re happy to advise in advance.
Power Requirements
Most of our setups are self-sufficient, meaning we don’t usually need an external power supply. This makes us ideal for:
- Marquee weddings
- Rural venues
- Outdoor and garden weddings
If power is available, we can use it — but it’s not essential.
Set-Up Time
We usually arrive 60–90 minutes before service to set up calmly and discreetly. This ensures everything is ready well before your evening guests arrive.
Guest Numbers We Cater For
We regularly cater for weddings ranging from:
- Intimate celebrations of 30–40 guests
- Large evening receptions with 150+ guests
Service is designed to be efficient, with pizzas cooked continuously so guests aren’t waiting long.
Add a Personal Touch to Your Wedding Catering
Your wedding should feel like you and that includes the food! We offer thoughtful extras to make your pizza experience even more special:
- Personalised Menu Boards - feature your names, wedding date, or fun pizza names.
- Custom Pizza Boxes or Labels - perfect for photos and keepsakes.
- Late-Night Pizza Service - keep guests happy and full on the dance floor.
From your first slice to the last, we make sure your catering is as memorable as the celebration itself.

It was perfect for what we wanted they were friendly, fast at serving and they boxed all the left overs up for us, which everyone enjoyed finishing them off at the end of the night.
Would highly recommend to anyone!
Thank so much

Matthew & the team provided the best customer service I could have asked for. They made sure to save extra pizzas for me and my husband!! And the pizzas were phenomenal! Loved by all the guests and approved by the Italian guests who had flown all the way from Italy (which says it all to be honest). Highlight of my wedding. Thank you so much!
