Have you ever wondered what goes into delivering an unforgettable pizza event? The magic you experience at a wedding, corporate event, or private party doesn’t just happen overnight, it’s the result of careful planning, preparation, and attention to detail. As a catering business, we’re behind the scenes making sure every bite, every flavor, and every detail is executed perfectly. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain to give you a sneak peek into a typical day in the life of a pizza caterer.




The Prep Day Before the Big Event: Prepping 24hrs In Advance

Preparing the perfect pizza begins well before the event itself. To ensure a truly authentic, flavorful crust, we start by making the dough 24 hours in advance. This extra time allows the dough to ferment, enhancing its flavor and texture. By letting it rest overnight, the yeast has time to develop a rich, slightly tangy taste while the dough becomes beautifully airy and easy to stretch. This meticulous preparation is key to delivering the best pizza experience, ensuring that every bite has that perfect balance of crispness and chew. When it's time to serve, the dough is ready to be transformed into a masterpiece that will delight your guests.




The Day Of The Event: Starting the Day Right

We start the morning off with team espresso shots, to keep us energized throughout the morning prep. We then review the event(s) details, whether it's a wedding, corporate lunch, or intimate celebration—to ensure that we are completely aligned with the client’s expectations. From dietary restrictions to special requests, there’s no detail too small to miss. We prepare and organize ingredients based on the menu we've curated specifically for the event. While the kitchen hums with activity, we also take time to organize our supplies, arranging the wood for the pizza oven, stacking plates for guests, and neatly organizing the pizza boxes for a smooth, efficient service. Every detail counts, and having everything in its place ensures that when the time comes to serve, we can deliver hot, delicious pizzas without a hitch. From the first slice of pizza to the final box for leftovers, it's all about precision and preparation.




Arrival & Set Up: Bringing the Pizzeria To Your Doorstep, Venue, Business

On the day of the event, we arrive at the event early to set up and fire up the oven. This is where our team’s experience and organization really pays off. We work efficiently, making sure that all the food is ready to be served at the right time and at the right temperature. Whether we’re setting up a buffet table or coordinating an order at truck style service, we ensure the event is transformed into a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for the guests.




Wrapping Up: The Final Touches

Once the event is over, it’s time to pack up. But our job doesn’t end with the last pizza served. We ensure that the venue is left spotless, that all equipment and garbage is accounted for, and that any leftover food is boxed up and taken care of properly. It’s important to us that we leave the event space just as pristine as we found it, and that includes making sure the hosts have everything they need to wrap up.




What Makes Us Stand Out?

The behind-the-scenes process of catering isn’t just about cooking and serving food, it’s about ensuring that every aspect of the event is executed with precision and care. At Pizza Twenty Two, we pride ourselves on offering personalized, high-quality pizza catering that makes every event special.

That’s the behind-the-scenes magic that goes into making your special day unforgettable.
