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.
Events they cater
“The food was delicious and my husband’s little brother was caught at 2 am trying to steal one of our bride and groom pizzas because he loved the bacon chicken ranch pizza.”

From the reviews
Delicious and staff was super nice. Got 2 gluten free pizzas, 1 regular pizza, and buffalo wings. They also gave us their new chips for free ¨̮. Wings were my favorite but the pizzas were great too! Can’t go wrong with any of it!
I recently visited RVA Wood Fire located on Gentio and Dorset Rd in Powhatan, Virginia. This is a brand new restaurant location from the owners who also run a popular food truck. The pizza was excellent. While they use sourdough crust instead of traditional neopolitan style, it worked very well.
Great vegan pizza, some of the best in the area! We got the vegan Angry Zinski and vegan Hot Tomato Summer special, and they were both delicious. Everything (except meat alternatives) is handmade in-house. The owner gave us samples of new vegan wings they are developing and asked for feedback.
Writing this review is a dilemma for me. There's a selfish part of me that wants to keep this place under wraps, preserving it as my own little secret hideaway. But I know that withholding such praise hurts small businesses.
Booking River City Wood Fire for a wedding
Weddings come up for River City Wood Fire — 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.
