Home › Mobile pizza catering by the numbers
Mobile Pizza Catering Statistics, 2026
We mapped every mobile pizza oven caterer we could verify in America — 1,564 caterers with 201,180 guest reviews between them. Here's where the industry actually is, which states have the most caterers per resident, and how deep the wedding specialization runs. (Journalists & bloggers: cite freely with a link.)
Which states have the most mobile pizza caterers per capita?
Nationally there are about 4.6 mobile pizza catering services per million residents. The per-capita crown goes to Connecticut at 22 caterers per million — 81 caterers for a state of 3.7 million people — with Wyoming at 17 and Vermont at 17 close behind. Mobile pizza catering follows the events calendar more than population: destination-wedding states and states with long outdoor-party seasons keep more ovens rolling per resident than the raw-population map would predict. At the other end, Louisiana has just 1.1 per million — worth knowing if you're planning an event there, because the good dates go first.

Two sources, one directory: Maps-verified + web-only
Most directories stop at Google Maps. We don't — because mobile pizza caterers are service businesses that travel to you, plenty of real operators run on a website and word of mouth without ever claiming a Google Business listing. So we compile from two sources: 1,282 Maps-verified caterers (ratings, reviews, photos) plus 282 web-only caterers found via organic web search — 18% of the directory that map-only sites simply never see.
| Source | Caterers | What we can verify |
| Google Maps listings | 1,282 | Ratings, review counts, photos, location |
| Open web (own websites) | 282 | Services offered, from their own site — clearly marked "web-only", never ranked |
| Total | 1,564 |
Wedding pizza caterers, state by state
Caterers with wedding evidence — weddings named in their own materials or in guests' reviews — as a share of each state's directory. These are floors, not surveys: a caterer only counts once we've seen proof, and the counts grow as our crawls continue.
| # | State | Caterers | Wedding caterers | Share |
| 1 | Connecticut | 81 | 30 | 37% |
| 2 | Vermont | 11 | 5 | 45.5% |
| 3 | South Dakota | 7 | 7 | 100% |
| 4 | Maine | 14 | 9 | 64.3% |
| 5 | New Hampshire | 7 | 7 | 100% |
| 6 | Delaware | 7 | 5 | 71.4% |
| 7 | Rhode Island | 12 | 5 | 41.7% |
| 8 | District of Columbia | 5 | 3 | 60% |
| 9 | Oregon | 48 | 18 | 37.5% |
| 10 | Wyoming | 10 | 2 | 20% |
| 11 | Utah | 27 | 11 | 40.7% |
| 12 | Washington | 44 | 24 | 54.5% |
| 13 | Colorado | 43 | 16 | 37.2% |
| 14 | Massachusetts | 50 | 19 | 38% |
| 15 | New York | 97 | 49 | 50.5% |
What the industry offers: wood-fired ovens, oven rental, and more
Beyond the headcounts, we mine each caterer's own website and its guests' reviews for the things event planners actually ask about. These counts require evidence, so they're floors that fill in as enrichment lands:
| Caterers that… | Count | Share |
| Cater weddings | 601 | 38% |
| Cook in a wood-fired oven | 779 | 50% |
| Offer pizza oven rental (you do the cooking) | 9 | 0.6% |
| Cite licensing & liability insurance | 22 | 1.4% |
| Cater corporate events | 424 | 27% |

America's densest pizza-catering cities
