Booking basics
Pizza caterers book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want full catering or an oven drop-off. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
We are way behind on writing our reviews for the amazing services we used for our wedding day, but we absolutely want to be sure we praise the wonderful experience we had from start to finish using Big Willie’s Pies for a Cause as our caterer!
So a few years ago we went to a party and big Willie was catering the party. After dinner my wife said, I wish we had a party coming up so we can have them cater ours. Fast forward almost a year and a half and my 50th birthday came up. What a perfect event to have them cater. We called Willie and secured the date.
We are still getting compliments on the pizza from our wedding! From start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process, pricing was very reasonable, and they were so easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely crushed it.
I hired Big Willy’s pizza to cater my mom’s 80th birthday party in my backyard. We had about 40 people and Willie exceeded every expectation. It wasn’t just that the pizzas were phenomenal, but the appetizers, and even down to the cannolis were amazing food.
Booking Big Willie's Pizza Catering for a wedding
Weddings come up for Big Willie's Pizza Catering, going by their listing and hosts’ reviews, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: everyone gets hungry at once after the ceremony, then the oven settles into a steady flow of pies until the dance floor takes over. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the pizza math: caterers typically plan on roughly one 12-inch pizza for every two to three adults, and per-person packages usually already bake that in — just be honest about your headcount, including kids and vendors. Second, the serving rate: a mobile oven cooks pies a couple at a time, so ask how many ovens and cooks they bring at your guest count and how long full service takes — that's the difference between a steady buffet and a hungry line during toasts. If anyone at the table is gluten-free or vegan, say so at the first email so the right dough travels with them.
