FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have any questions that are not answered below, just give us a shout!
What types of events do you cater for?
We cater for a variety of events, including corporate events, weddings, birthdays, private parties, festivals, and more. Whether it’s a small gathering or a large event, we can customise our service to fit your needs.
How far in advance should I book my event?
We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability, especially for weekends and busy seasons. Ideally, try to book at least 4 weeks in advance. For last-minute bookings, please contact us directly to check our availability.
Do you have a minimum order requirement?
Yes, our minimum order is usually 60 pizzas, but this varies depending on the size of the event, date and location. Please reach out to discuss your needs, and we’ll provide a customised quote based on your event’s requirements.
How do I book Pizzamici for catering?
You can get in touch by contacting us through our contact page, social media, or emailing us with your event details. Once we have your information, we’ll send you a customised quote and help finalise your booking.
What types of pizzas do you offer?
We offer a wide variety of pizza toppings, and specialise in 12” Neapolitan-style, stone-baked pizza. We also have vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options available upon request. We can also offer calzone, panuozzi and pizza sandwiches on request.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Absolutely! We can offer gluten-free bases (with a small surcharge, as we have these made externally), vegan cheese, and a range of dairy-free and vegetarian toppings. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate all guests.
Do you offer other menu items besides pizza?
Yes! In addition to our delicious pizzas, we offer appetisers, canapés, salads, pasta dishes, cannoli, Italian desserts, and even prosecco! We also provide soft drinks and can arrange for additional beverages upon request.
How is the pizza served at events?
We offer a few service options. Our pizzas can be served buffet-style, onto labelled wooden boards upon a designated table, where guests help themselves. (We recommend this system for events with 60+ guests, as more guests can be fed quicker, rather than making individual ones.) Or we can provide staffed service where our team serves guests individually, or they can order bespoke pizzas straight from our setup. We’re extremely flexible and will always strive to accommodate.
Do you bring your own equipment, or do we need to provide anything?
We bring everything we need to cater your event, including ovens, utensils, and serving equipment. All we need from you is a suitable 4.5m x 3m space to set up our gazebo, and access to power (if required for our equipment).
How long does it take to set up and clear down?
Setup typically takes about 45-60 mins, to allow the ovens to reach optimum temperature, and clearing down takes about 30-40 minutes. We aim to be as efficient and unobtrusive as possible during setup and clean up.
How much does pizza catering cost?
Our pricing depends on the number of guests, location of event, types of pizzas, and additional services you choose. We offer flexible pricing to accommodate different budgets. Contact us for a personalised quote based on your event’s details.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we require a £200 deposit to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due prior to the event. This ensures your date is reserved and allows us to begin preparations.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, and cash. If you have specific payment requirements, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made at least 14 days before the event will receive a full refund of the deposit. For cancellations made less than 7 days before the event, we retain the deposit, to cover the costs of the ingredients we would have purchased. However, we’re happy to work with you on rescheduling, depending on our availability.
Can I make changes to my order after booking?
Yes, you can make changes to your order up to 2 days before the event. We’ll do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but changes are subject to availability.
Do you have a tasting option available before booking?
Yes, we offer discretionary tasting sessions for prospective clients. Tastings are available by appointment only and include a selection of our most popular pizzas. Contact us to schedule a tasting session. Otherwise, come and find us at one of our pop-ups, and try one of our pizzas before you book us!
Do you offer any packages or discounts for large events?
Yes, we offer special packages and volume discounts for larger events. Contact us with your guest count and event details, and we’ll provide a tailored quote to fit your needs and budget.
