Wood-Fired Live Pizza Catering in Miami
The portable Neapolitan pizza experience Miami's weddings, corporations, and private events trust
Live pizza catering turns dinner into a show. Our team arrives 90 minutes before service, sets up our portable wood-fired oven, and begins hand-stretching 72-hour dough right at your venue. From first fire to last slice, guests watch their pizzas come alive — baked at 900°F in 90 seconds, served hot, one after another. It's the kind of catering your guests will still be talking about next week.

1. Arrival (90 min before)
Our team arrives with the wood-fired oven, workstation, prep supplies, and all ingredients. We set up in the space you've designated — 6'×8' flat surface is all we need.
2. The Fire
The oven reaches 900°F. This is a show in itself — guests love watching the flame build. We'll have it ready exactly when you need it.
3. Live Pizza Making
Our pizzaiolo hand-stretches each dough to order, tops it in front of the guests, and slides it into the oven. Each pizza bakes in 90 seconds. Pizzas come out continuously throughout service.
Why Wood-Fired Neapolitan?
The 900°F wood fire is the entire point. At that temperature, the dough puffs in seconds — creating the leoparding on the crust that defines true Neapolitan pizza, the airy interior texture, and the smoky character you can't fake. Our dough is naturally risen for 72 hours. Electric pizza ovens can't reach these temperatures. Gas ovens can't replicate the flavor. Wood fire is non-negotiable — it's the difference between great pizza and catering-grade pizza.

Live Pizza Catering FAQ
How many pizzas does each guest eat?
Typical consumption is 2–3 slices per guest for a main-meal event. Our Signature package's 3-pizza selection and per-person pricing accounts for this.
Can we have the pizza station at an indoor venue?
Yes, as long as the space is ventilated. Covered outdoor spaces, patios, rooftops, and open tent setups all work well.
Do you handle rooftop venues?
Yes, with coordination. Most Miami rooftop venues require advance notice to building management about the wood-fired equipment. We'll coordinate directly with the venue once the booking is confirmed.
What happens if it rains?
The oven operates under most light weather conditions. For heavy rain or severe weather, we require a covered area at least 10'×10'.
Can I combine live pizza with other catering?
Absolutely. Many clients pair our wood-fired station with their venue's main catering, a separate bar service, or other food stations.
