The Pop Up Pizza CoEvening service or the main event?
The biggest fork in the budget is when we serve. An evening service feeds the party after the formal meal and soaks up the dance-floor hunger two hours into the dancing. A festival-style wedding breakfast makes the oven the main catering, with guests ordering fresh from the counter instead of sitting through plated courses. Both come from the same menu, and both are priced from the same per-pizza ladder, so the choice is about the shape of your day rather than a different price list.
Still weighing up whether pizza belongs at a wedding at all? Our guide to pizza as wedding food makes the case properly: the theatre, the dietary flexibility and how the oven fits the flow of the day.
The budget maths at wedding scale
Pizza van catering is really priced per pizza, and at wedding numbers that works in your favour: we'll usually recommend booking pizzas for fewer people than your headline guest count, because some guests won't eat, some will share and a few will come back for seconds. One pizza per guest is the rule; from 90 guests we suggest about 90% of your numbers.
| Guests | Pizzas | Starting budget |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 30 | Around 20 – 30 pizzas | From £400 |
| 30 – 50 | Around 30 – 45 pizzas | From around £420 |
| 50 – 100 | Around 45 – 90 pizzas | From around £650 |
| 100+ | 90 – 150+ pizzas | From around £1,200 |
All figures are plus VAT. A planning guide, not a quote. Final pricing depends on your guest count, distance, date and service length. Our guide to how many pizzas you need walks the numbers through in detail.
What the price includes on a wedding day
Everything you'd hope: travel, full set-up around an hour before serving, an experienced team cooking and serving throughout, plates, napkins and sauces, and the clean-up before we leave. The set-up is self-sufficient, no power or water needed, so barns, estates, marquee lawns and courtyards all work. We hold 5-star food hygiene certification and full public liability insurance, with risk assessments available for venues that ask.
Dietary requirements are part of the service, not an extra: vegan cheese is available on our vegetarian pizzas and gluten free alternatives can be provided when you book ahead. Our wedding catering service page covers the full package.
Booking a wedding date
Wedding dates go first. We'd recommend enquiring as early as you can, and certainly more than six weeks out: summer weekends fill fastest and minimum spends apply on peak summer Saturdays. A 25% non-refundable deposit secures your date, and the details, timings, access and final numbers, get settled as the day approaches.
