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.

From the reviews

Delicious gourmet thin crust artisan pizza in an open family friendly environment. Build your own or try one of the creative pies available such as Dill With It, or the broccoli and cheddar combination we had. The crust is wheat forward with a rustic flavor developed by their wood-fired pizza oven.

I've been sitting on this review for a few days now, because I feel conflicted about writing it. Tastebud has some of the best pizza in Portland, if not *the* best pizza. Why the 4 star and why do I feel conflicted? I purchased bagels from Tastebud this last weekend, and I couldn't be more disappointed in them. 1.

★★★★☆ — Dylan via Google, Jun 2023

Their "Pesche" pizza is easily in the top 5 best pizzas I've ever had (and I've had a lot). Not the cheapest pizza I've ever had, but man, was it ever good! Crust was perfect out of the oak fired oven, ingredients were flavorful and fresh. Note: I never , ever heard of a peach being on a pizza...

★★★★★ — George via Google, Aug 2018

Highly attentive staff, great pizza and just small enough to be initmate. It had been a while since our last visit but consistently a really good experience. One suggestion...get rid of the paper napkins and replace with cloth. I know there's a cost imapct, but it makes a difference.
