In addition to our fine food and friendly, experienced staff, we provide the following items to make your event the antithesis of average and uninspiring: tent coverage for pizza service area, pizza serving ware (e.g., serving boards/peels, serving utensils), pizza condiments, paper products (e.g., plates and napkins), and most importantly, good times and positive vibes.

We will work with you to ensure this event reflects your own tastes and preferences. Our goal is to relieve you of the many details that go along with hosting a successful party so that you, as well as your guests, can thoroughly enjoy this special event.
