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.

A directory can't see anyone's calendar — availability, travel fees, and minimums always come from the caterer directly.

Rise Up! pizza is great - the crust is a sourdough that brings some zing to the pizza without overpowering it - to me, that's what makes this the best pizza around. It's a thinner crust, but well-balanced with the sauce and toppings. Sauce tastes fresh, not canned, and toppings are often locally sourced.

I tried this place for the first time thanks to Lexington pizza week, and I can only describe it as simply, a level above. A friendly atmosphere, local, and certainly the best pizza in Lexington.
