FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHERE CAN I TASTE TEST YOUR PIZZAS?
We have an amazing venue CAMPGROUND KITCHEN & BAR at 9 Errol Street, Braybrook in Melbourne. Book a table for a meal at Campground Kitchen and come and see us! Please note the menu might differ a bit from our catering, but it has all our favourite pizzas and will give you a good idea of our food philosophy and vibe!
HOW BIG ARE THE PIZZAS AND HOW ARE THEY SERVED?
Our wood fired pizzas are 12 inch in size.
We leave our dough to rise for a minimum 48 hours and our pizzas, including our dough, are handmade on the spot, using fresh and locally sourced ingredients.
We serve direct from our food truck/ovens, however we can offer everything from cocktail, sit-down or buffet service.
Our chefs will cook their way through your chosen pizza menu, providing a steady flow of pizzas for a set period of time. Guests can grab a whole pizza as they come out of the oven or from a buffet-style table (provided by you) if you’d prefer slices and don’t want guests to wait for food.
Guests with dietary requirements (e.g. vegan + gluten-free) can approach our chefs and order direct. We recommend serving your guests with special dietary needs first.
WHAT PLATING OPTIONS ARE THERE?
You can choose from wooden paddles or compostable kraft trays. We provide paper napkins. For an additional fee, we have biodegradable plates and wooden cutley sets available. Or provide your own plates for a fancier sit-down event.
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?
We can cater for almost all dietary needs. We have an Allergen Matrix available for guests with special dietary requirements.
VEGAN If you have a small number of guests that are vegan we can provide some delicious options at $3 extra per guest.
Check out our Catering packages for more information.
GLUTEN FREE Fresh gluten free dough is an additional $6 per GF guest. We cook our GF pizzas on separate trays, however as they are cooked within the same oven there is a risk of cross-contamination.
*Due to the nature of our food, we cannot cater for anaphylactic coeliacs.
SET NUMBER OF PIZZAS OR PIZZA PACKAGE?
SET PIZZAS: Order a set number of pizzas and choose the timeframe for service. We bring a set amount of dough and ingredients to your event to avoid food wastage. If you think you might need more, you’re best to order extra and our team is happy to box up uneaten pizzas as takeaways, provided it’s within the service timeframe. You won’t be able to purchase more on the day. Minimum 80 pizzas.
ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT: We highly recommend a free-flowing pizza package to fill everyone’s belly to bursting! Our pizzas are super YUMMY and you won’t run out of food this way as we bring enough pizza for everyone plus 25% more!
OUR GELATI IS HANDMADE & AUTHENTIC!
We source fresh gelato and sorbet from our friends at Bianco Latte who make it the authentic Italian way!
Gelati service is straight after pizza service. Servings are offered in paper cups with biodegradable spoons.
Our team will scoop and walk around the gelato to your guests.
We offer 2-3 flavours, depending on the size of the function and serve from freezers incorporated into our food trucks (not a separate cart).
We find cups are the fastest method to feed a large crowd as they can be scooped quickly (before they melt) and served to guests on trays.

DO I NEED WAIT STAFF?
Service is offered direct from the pizza truck/ovens in a relaxed and casual style. Our pizza chefs are busy creating pizzas from scratch and not available to walk food around.
If the food truck is positioned away from the main entertaining area, you have a large number of guests, and/or you prefer a more personalised service we recommend adding wait staff to your booking. They can walk around serving slices from wooden paddles to your guests, serve for sit-down events or lay pizzas on tables throughout the venue, returning to top them up and remove the empty paddles. At the end of the evening they will collect the empty paddles, and clean up napkins and food-related rubbish. Wait staff are an additional costs to your quote and we will only quote them one-month prior to events to ensure we have staff available. You are welcome to source your own wait staff also.
