The Pop Up Pizza CoHow a party booking runs
We arrive around an hour before serving and set up in your garden, driveway or venue grounds. The set-up is self-sufficient, no power or water needed, and garden friendly. Once the oven's up to temperature, guests come to the counter whenever they're hungry and order from the menu, and every pizza lands fresh from the wood-fired oven. It's dinner and entertainment in one: guests gravitate to the flames, and the cooking becomes part of the party.
Afterwards we handle the clean-up, take the rubbish with us, and any leftovers go into takeaway boxes. Our private party service page has the full package.
What a birthday party costs
Pricing starts from £12 per head plus VAT and is really built per pizza: a gathering of under 30 guests starts from £400 plus VAT, and the per-pizza rate gets keener as numbers climb. As a rule of thumb we suggest roughly one pizza per person, adjusted down for bigger crowds. The full table is on the pricing page, and our guide to how many pizzas you need stops you over-ordering.
Kids' parties and milestone birthdays
Pizza is the rare food that works for a 7th birthday and a 70th. For kids' parties, watching pizzas blister in the flames is half the show, margheritas and pepperonis keep fussy eaters happy, and the Nutella dessert pizza finishes the job. For milestone birthdays the counter becomes the social hub: guests drift over in twos and threes all evening instead of queueing for a buffet that's been sitting out.
Dietary requirements are handled properly at both ends of the age range: vegetarian options are on the menu, vegan cheese is available on request, and gluten free alternatives can be provided when you book ahead.

Smaller party? Get hands-on instead
If you need fewer than about 20 pizzas and want an activity as much as a caterer, our DIY Pizza Experience turns the making into the party: we drop off one of our stone ovens, a paddle and our bases ready to top, you buy the toppings, and your guests build and fire their own pizzas. It's the budget-friendly route, and for birthdays it doubles as the entertainment.
