The Pop Up Pizza CoWood-fired pizza catering, done properly
Our wood-fired story
From a single oven and a stubborn belief that event food should be the highlight, not the compromise — to weddings, corporate events and parties across the South West.
How it started
The Pop Up Pizza Co began with a simple mission: to share authentic Romana-style wood-fired pizza across Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds, Bristol, Bath and the South West. Not the lukewarm, boxed-up kind — the kind that comes off the paddle blistered and leopard-spotted, made fresh to order.
What started as a passion grew into mobile pizza catering for weddings, corporate events and private parties across the region. Today we cover a 50-mile radius and cater for everything from intimate gatherings to celebrations of 500 or more — and the oven is always the centrepiece, never hidden away in a kitchen.
Real flames, real char
Wood-fired pizza catering is half dinner, half theatre. Guests gather round the oven, watch the flames roar and walk away with a pizza made fresh to order — still bubbling hot from the flames.
The difference
What sets us apart
Authentic Technique
Every pizza comes out of the oven blistered, charred and properly leopard-spotted — real wood fire, not a trick of the lighting.
Quality Ingredients
The finest mozzarella, rich tomato sauce and honey roasted ham — toppings chosen because they taste better, not because they cost less.

The face at the oven
Meet Jacob
Founder Jacob leads a young, enthusiastic team of pizza chefs, and everyone at the oven is well trained and knows how to make great pizzas. Read our reviews and you'll see his name in most of them. Personable, unflappable and genuinely fussy about every pizza that leaves the paddle, he's the reason booking us feels less like hiring a caterer and more like inviting a friend who happens to make exceptional pizza.
“We booked Jacob for our 10-year wedding anniversary celebration, and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He made the whole process so easy and took the stress out of organising. The pizzas were delicious and a huge hit with all our guests.”
