Hire our mobile pizza oven for your corporate event catering
Pizza Project are proud to cater for all kinds of corporate events, bringing a theatrical centrepiece to any outdoor event.
Unique corporate catering
In the past, corporate events have often meant resigning yourself to a cold buffet – a sad ham sandwich here, a few flavourless crisps there, and perhaps a handful of sausage rolls if you were lucky. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Pizza Project, we bring delicious, authentic Italian fare to the corporate event catering scene. With our delicious handmade dough (which is given a luxurious 48 hours to prove), locally sourced toppings and, most importantly, our wood-fired mobile pizza ovens, we offer a gourmet experience to our corporate clients.
Whether you’re planning a summer party, a Christmas do, a team building day, seminar or conference, or you just want to say a big thanks to your employees for their hard work throughout the year, our freshly-made pizzas are the perfect way to treat the whole team.
Bring your corporate event to life with mobile pizza catering
One of the big attractions when we cater for any event are our mobile pizza ovens! There’s something truly mesmerising about watching a skilled chef hand-stretch the dough, lovingly top the pizzas and then fire up the oven right in front of you. Not only is it fun to watch, but pizza always tastes best when it’s served piping hot, fresh from the oven – and we provide a steady stream of ready-to-eat pizzas for your guests to enjoy.
Fuss-free food catering for your next event
We love catering for a crowd, and we always ensure that the experience is as stress-free as possible for our clients. On the day, we will arrive discreetly and speedily set up our mobile pizzeria so we can start serving your guests. You don’t have to lift a finger – just enjoy the party!
Bespoke menus for corporate catering events
We can be flexible with our menus and are happy to put together a personalised menu just for you and your guests. We can provide meat-free or cheeseless options to cater for vegetarians and vegans if you’d like – or we can provide particular toppings of your choosing. Just let us know and we’ll be happy to help!
Previous corporate events
With over seven years experience, we’ve brought our mobile pizza catering to many great events for a variety of clients, including Nike, Diesel and Heineken. Find out more on our corporate catering page and get in touch to find out how we can help at your next event.
4 reasons you should have pizza at your wedding reception
Photographer? Check. Flowers? Check. Pizza caterer? Hang on – pizza caterer? Yes, you read that right. If you’ve not booked a mobile pizza oven or van to provide the food for your wedding reception, it’s well worth considering.
Pizza for your wedding reception
When you think about it, pizza is the perfect food option for your wedding reception. Firstly, everyone loves pizza – simply order a range of flavours and toppings, along with some vegetarian and vegan varieties, and you’ve got all bases covered. It’s really easy to put together a bespoke menu, including items such as olives, salads and sides, created to your unique tastes and preferences.
Secondly, pizza is super versatile – it can either take centre-stage as your main foodie event, or provide a perfect evening snack for your guests to enjoy when they take a break from the dancefloor. If you’re after a relaxed, fun wedding breakfast, your guests will love helping themselves to a pizza buffet complete with antipasti, cold cuts and side dishes before sitting down to eat. Alternatively, pizza is the perfect finger food to eat while standing up in the evening. It’s completely up to you!
Thirdly, a caterer with their own mobile pizza oven can provide an extra element of excitement to your special day – and it’s a twist on tradition that your guests will remember forever. It’s so entertaining to watch skilled chefs hand-stretch dough, expertly add toppings, and cook the pizzas in an authentic, wood-fired oven right in front of your eyes.
The fourth and final reason? It’s so incredibly easy. A good mobile pizza caterer will arrive at your wedding discreetly, set up quickly and without any fuss, and start serving your guests as soon as possible. The best part? You don’t have to do anything – just sit back, enjoy the celebrations, and work up an appetite for some pizza!
How to turn your wedding reception into an up-market pizza party
It couldn’t be easier to turn your reception into a really fun, yet super swish, pizza party for your guests. At Pizza Project, we work out all the logistics for you – just tell us what you’d like and we can put together a bespoke menu to suit your requirements.
We bring everything we need with us, and don’t require an external electricity or water supply to set up our pizza oven. On the day, we’ll bring our pizza oven, get everything set up and start creating your chosen menu.

AN EVENING IN WITH FRIENDS – THE SOURCE
We joined Talya and Aron from The Source for a very special evening, packed with inspiration for planning any event. View the highlights of the evening above!
ALL THE EVENT INSPIRATION YOU NEED
Under the cover of an innovative stretch marquee from Stretch and Tents, we discussed every aspect of creating a truly memorable summer event, from creative floral corsages to mesmerising live entertainment, plus, of course, the perfect food options (you guessed it – pizza).
We fired up the oven and got busy stretching and topping our homemade dough, proved for 48 hours to achieve that perfect rise. Jonny explained what makes the Pizza Project pizzas so authentic and delicious, from sourcing the highest-quality, local ingredients to the traditional methods we use to hand-stretch the dough and cook it fresh to order.

WHAT MAKES OUR WOOD-FIRED PIZZAS TASTE SO AMAZING?
What does Jonny McCoy, the Pizza Project founder, think makes our pizzas taste so amazing? Hear directly from the man himself!
Whenever anyone asks me what my favourite pizza is, my answer is always the same: I love margherita. Simple, I know. But, made well – with fresh basil, soft dough, tangy tomatoes and creamy cheese – and cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven, there is nothing quite like it. Since I first learnt age-old Neapolitan pizza-making skills from the Italian National Pizza College, I have been driven by a love of simple, authentic pizza that tastes incredible. Here’s how our pizza caterers make our wood-fired pizzas taste so good.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DOUGH
For me, the dough is everything. A soft, springy and well-risen dough that lovingly hugs the delicious fresh toppings is the true indicator of an amazing pizza. At The Pizza Project, our tasty handmade dough enjoys a luxurious 48-hour prove, so that it is beautifully elastic and rises perfectly when cooked. Sometimes, we let it prove for up to three days! Ours is thinner than a classic Neapolitan dough, as we think this lets our ingredients truly shine through and makes our pizza beautifully light.
WE USE CLASSIC METHODS
All our pizzas are hand-stretched and created fresh to order, which is key to achieving that amazing rustic taste. This is something we’re incredibly proud of, which is why we make our pizzas in front of our customers, whether we’re serving pizza at weddings or cooking up a storm at one of our weekly mobile pizza street food pitches!
WE USE FRESH, WELL-SOURCED INGREDIENTS
If I have learnt one thing from the Neapolitan pizza masters, it’s that a wood-fired pizza will only taste amazing if it is made using high-quality, fresh ingredients. Our zingy tomatoes are sourced from the volcanic soil and endless sunshine of Naples – the most delicious tomatoes in the world and the only option for true Neapolitan pizza! Our cheese is made by family-run Italian company Carnevale, using English milk and exquisite Italian expertise. We buy all our fruits and vegetables from Covent Garden Market, so that we can make sure they are fresh and locally sourced. And all our meat comes from British charcuterie Cannon & Cannon, whose produce is reared and cured in England for that unbeatable freshness and rich taste.
AUTHENTIC STONE PIZZA OVENS
As far as cooking spot-on pizza street food in London goes, a classic stone oven is a must. It gives pizza that classic Neapolitan flavour that just cannot be achieved with gas or electric alternatives. Our purpose-built wood-fired stone ovens produce an extreme dry heat that is essential for cooking a truly authentic pizza using age-old Neapolitan methods. As well as enabling us to achieve that rustic taste, it also means we can cook our thin-based pizzas in just two minutes! For people who want pizza at weddings or pizza caterers for a corporate event, this is ideal – no long waits, no hassle: just fresh, wood-fired pizza within minutes.

WEDDING PIZZA CATERING – SUMMER IN LONDON
The summer of 2016 is almost over and The Pizza Project have provided mobile pizza catering at so many great weddings this summer. From Central London street markets to coastal retreats in Sussex, we really have seen a huge variety of pizza catering at weddings this year.
We wanted to share one wedding in particular, a festival inspired wedding in Richmond, London. The event was very much inspired by festivals but also had a formal touch to it. Obviously we were there to add to the festival vibe with our wood fired pizzas served directly from our mobile pizza oven.
It all started with the formal church wedding with all the normal formalities but as soon as they came out of the church the festival vibe started. After a short walk to the field, normally used by the scouts, they were welcomed by a double teepee. The prosecco started flowing and we served beautiful canapés in & around the teepee. There was a selection of rocket & walnut pesto bruschetta, parma ham & fig and classic bruschetta as well as mozzarella balls.
The Pizza Project’s mobile pizza catering was served up as the main event wedding breakfast. Pizzas were served buffet style and as the happy couple had opted for lots of our lovely extras too, the buffet looked amazing. In addition to the four pizzas there was couscous with grilled vegetables with lemon and mint salad, mixed leave salad with home made vinaigrette and wood fired grilled artichoke and sunblushed tomatoes.
Mobile pizza catering at a wedding is a brilliant way to creates a lovely atmosphere, the guests join the short queue and can watch and discuss as the authentic wood fired pizzas are prepared, cooked and served hot and fresh.
All the guest and most importantly the bride and groom loved it – many congratulations to them on their wedding day.

4 WAYS TO HAVE PIZZA AT YOUR WEDDING
Are you planning for your special wedding day and considering how to handle pizza catering? There are so many options, some more formal and some more traditional – did you know that pizza can be silver-cutlery-and-waited-tables-posh, or it can be a brilliant al fresco centrepiece or an evening snack perfect for your reception’s party atmosphere? Pizza is very versatile and we wanted to showcase just a handful of the amazing ways we’ve performed pizza catering for a variety of weddings over the years.
If you’re considering pizza catering for your wedding, don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to help, offer advice and send you a quote. You can read more about our wedding catering services here:
PIZZA AT WEDDING RECEPTIONS
If you have more guests arriving in the evening for a reception or a party, then pizza makes a brilliant evening snack. Wood-fired pizza is an ideal option for the evening, it’s informal, our ovens add a theatrical and social centrepiece and you can serve lots of guests fast! Our pizzas are cooked fast and we’ll continue to keep the buffet tables stacked with hot pizzas just out of the oven.
PIZZA CATERING AT FESTIVAL WEDDINGS
Festival style weddings have deservedly become one of the most popular themed wedding styles. Following the popularity and culture of music and art festivals they usually take place outdoors, using large marquees or teepees. Wood-fired pizza is a classic and very popular at music and art festivals and many festival weddings also opt for pizza! Our stone wood-fired pizza ovens fit right into the theme, and we often decorate them with flowers, props and more to match the festival theme!
BUFFET STYLE PIZZA CATERING
Buffet catering frees your guests from the table and allows them to mingle and walk up and choose their own food. Our wood-fired pizzas are a brilliant option for a buffet table because guests can choose from a variety of pizzas and salads. We can also prepare antipasti and canapes to be served for buffet guests.
FOOD FESTIVAL WEDDING CATERING
Taking the festival style wedding one level further, why not invite a few food stalls? In addition to the wood-fired pizza you could have Thai food, fish & chips and an artisan burger van?! A food festival caters for lots of different tastes and makes an amazing social hub for your guests. You’ll want to ensure each vendor can prepare and serve smaller portions (like pizza by the slice). Food tokens can also be handed out to guests to ensure they all get a taste of everything!
Pizza Project has been catering for weddings for over 5 years. Our stone wood-fired pizza ovens have been used in a huge variety of ways, and importantly, always leave our clients and their guests satisfied. If you would like to learn more about what we offer, visit our wedding catering page now.
THE RISE OF THE DIY FESTIVAL WEDDING
Saying ‘I do’ has always gone hand-in-hand with tradition. It is considered ‘the norm’ to get married indoors in a church or a registry office, and then follow the ceremony with a formal drinks reception, sit-down meal and a disco (all mainly indoors!).
Nowadays, though, a lot of couples just want their big day to be about having fun. That’s why the DIY festival wedding is so popular – it is the perfect option for alternative brides and grooms who simply want a chilled-out day where they, their friends and their family can all relax and have a good time.
WHAT IS A DIY FESTIVAL WEDDING
Rather than sticking to traditional wedding formalities, the DIY festival wedding is all about creativity and fashioning the big day into something unique – whether that is with upcycled jam jars as candle holders, white-washed bedroom drawers filled with wild flowers, or a washing line where guests can peg Polaroid snaps with messages of love scrawled on them.
The bohemian, carefree spirit of the DIY festival wedding means that most of the day takes place outdoors, with food served from a stall or van and eaten on hay bales, picnic benches or blankets on the floor. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a festival wedding without live music, so most DIY weddings will have a few bands planned to really ramp up the festival fun at the after-party.
Venues can range farms and barns, to open fields with huge festival-style tipis and tents. For the little ones, there may be old-fashioned games like a coconut shy or ring toss, or perhaps a secret garden with a fairy-lit den and wooden swings.
THE PERFECT DIY FESTIVAL WEDDING FOOD
At festivals like Glastonbury or Reading, food plays almost as large a part as the music. It’s all about vendors like wood-fired pizza caterers selling moreish and easy-to-eat street food. Serving up delicious pizza at weddings is an ideal way to keep your guests happy. Not only does it taste amazing, but it is easy to eat (use your hands!) and with a range of fresh toppings you can cater to all your guest’s tastes. Pizza is the perfect reminder of the hazy, carefree summer evenings that the festival season brings. Our pizza ovens also make a vibrant centrepiece, where guests can interact with our chefs and try a variety of wood-fired pizzas. The subtle smoky flavour of our wood-fired dough is just beautiful when washed down with some fizzing Prosecco and good music as the sun sets.
So, if you want to give your guests a DIY festival wedding dinner they’ll always remember, our wood-fired pizza options are perfect. We are at the heart of the London pizza street food scene, have catered for hundreds of weddings and parties over the years and we know you’ll be delighted!
