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
If you love Neapolitan pizza - the soft thin dough, the puffy crust with its polite char - then this spot is for you. There are so many options on the menu for flavor combinations that everyone will eat happy. We ordered take-out, and drove the pizzas 10-minutes to home.
We needed a mobile pizza service for a wedding shower with 40+ people. We found Criscito and the reviews were favorable. They were responsive from the start with good communications. The logistics were determined and payment schedules were clear.
Amazing spot for pizza, salad and gelato! Visiting from out-of-town and grateful we chose to grab dinner from Criscito Pizza one of our nights out. The pizza was cooked perfectly, crust was crispy but not overdone.
Criscito Pizza is hands down the best pizza and gelato spot in San Diego! From the moment you walk in, you’re transported straight to the Amalfi Coast – the atmosphere is cozy, authentic, and full of charm. The pizza is absolutely incredible.
Booking Criscito Pizza for a wedding
Weddings come up for Criscito Pizza — 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 Criscito Pizza
Reviews and the caterer's own materials mention corporate events at Criscito Pizza — 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.
