The oven

A real fire, wherever we park.

Authentic Neapolitan pizza: 00 flour, dough fermented for 48+ hours and a wood-fired oven running above 450°C – each pizza is ready in about 90 seconds.

  1. Into the fire

    Dough fermented for 48+ hours meets a wood-fired oven running above 450°C.

  2. Turned on the peel

    Each pizza is turned by hand so the crust blisters evenly all the way round.

  3. Out in about 90 seconds

    Puffed, leopard-spotted crust and bubbling toppings, straight off the peel.

  4. Straight to your guests

    Boxed or plated and handed over hot – for every guest, all event long.

Margherita

Basil, olive oil, cheese – then into the fire.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Dunston, Gateshead, and bring our wood-fired oven to events across Newcastle and the North East. Planning something further afield? Get in touch and we'll let you know.

How many guests can you cater for?

Anything from around 30 to 300 guests – from garden parties to big weddings and corporate events.

Do you have gluten-free or dairy-free options?

Yes – we offer gluten-free pizza dough and dairy-free cheese. Everything is cooked in the same oven, so we can't guarantee pizzas haven't come into contact with gluten, milk or nuts. See our allergen information for details. Allergen information

How is the pizza served?

Either buffet style, so guests grab a slice whenever they like, or made to order, with each guest enjoying a fresh pizza. You choose up to four favourites from our events menu.

Do you come with a pizza van or a horsebox?

Both are available: our pizza van, or our converted horsebox with the wood-fired oven on board – ideal for weddings and venues.

What kind of pizza do you make?

Authentic Neapolitan-style pizza: 00 flour, dough fermented for 48+ hours and a wood-fired oven running above 450°C, so each pizza is ready in about 90 seconds.
