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
Carolina Crust was the caterer for our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner at The Barn at Valhalla on June 3rd. We could not have chosen a better experience for our casual outdoor dinner for our 66 guests.
Carolina Crust catered our wedding, and they were perfect! The truck was stunning, the food was delicious (and a huge hit with our guests), and the service was warm and professional. Highly recommend!
I wish I could give John and his team 10 stars! We hired Carolina Crust to help us with a three-day series of back-to-back corporate events for national pizza day and we couldn't have been happier with them.
I cannot say enough glowing things about Carolina Crust. These guys are AWESOME! They arrived early, helped us move some coolers around and get our space just right, had hot pizza ready to feed 80 people quickly.
Booking Carolina Crust for a wedding
Weddings come up for Carolina Crust — confirmed on their own site, 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.

Corporate events with Carolina Crust
Reviews and the caterer's own materials mention corporate events at Carolina Crust — office lunches, holiday parties, launches, client appreciation days. For office events, three things are worth settling on the first call: whether they carry the liability insurance your building or venue requires (and can add it as additional insured), how they handle dietary counts — gluten-free and vegan orders multiply fast on an office RSVP — and how invoicing works if your company needs a W-9 and net-30 terms.
