Cass Sent on 11/03/2018Amazing- hire them now!
I can't say enough about the service, the food, or the passion behind it all.
Tim was great with communication and planning. He hadn't been at our venue before so we met there ahead of the wedding so he could see the space and we could talk about the menu. I'm the daughter of a chef, so I can see when someone is just passionate about good food, top ingredients and creativity with the menu. We were able to do special requests for appetizers and they even suggested we create "Alex Pizza" and "Cass Pizza" for guests to choose from. My biggest regret is that I was never able to get out of the reception room to visit them and see the set up, but they were always making sure my wife and I had food and were happy while we were busily chatting and dancing with guests. They even made sure we had a pizza each to go to the hotel with that night. Honestly, after the big party and finally sitting in comfortable clothes in my hotel room with just my new wife and me eating the literal best pizza I've had in YEARS was a major highlight of the whole night for me.
The price was so reasonable I still can't believe the deal we got. I can't recommend them enough. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. -

Tim was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, he was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He had answers to all the questions I had, and asked questions that I hadn't even thought of. His level of professionalism and presentation is incredible.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Stone Oven Catering. Tim went above and beyond and was very flexible with me. He worked within my budget and delivered on everything he said he would. My fiance and I knew that we wanted pizza at our wedding and it was more than we could have hoped for. We also had Tim do appetizers for us and again, we were blown away. Everything was delicious and our guests are still raving about the food months later. I have family from NY & NJ who are very picky about their pizza, and they raved about the food. Honestly, everything was so, so good.
Additionally, when we ran into a logistics issue with putting out our desserts. Tim's team stepped in to make sure that everything went smoothly and definitely went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for us. My only regret is that I did not get a chance to eat more of the food!
As a side note, I have also used Stone Oven Catering for a few corporate events with my work, and they never disappoint. Do not hesitate, book them now! :) -
J Sent on 08/15/2018My husband and I hired Stone Oven Catering for our wedding and were thrilled with the outcome. We had a backyard reception under a beautiful sail cloth tent, and wanted a dinner that was yummy, fun, and memorable. We got all of the above!
We had two main concerns leading up to the wedding that Tim and his team alleviated:
First, our worry was that a pizza truck would be too informal for our older relatives, a New York City crowd, and somewhat formal reception attire (my husband wore a tuxedo and our male guests were at bare minimum in khakis/sport coats, but most were in full suits). However, Tim and his team did a fantastic job making delicious food that looked high quality and was well-presented. Moreover, he was so helpful in ensuring that our guests' food allergies were met. He had gluten free dough, dairy free pizzas, and even went as far as sourcing dough with no eggs in them for two individuals with egg allergies.
Second, we fretted that a single pizza truck could not feed our 175 guests in an appropriate amount of time. It turns out, we had nothing to worry about because all our guests were fed during the roughly 1 hour speeches/dinner slot AND had opportunity to go up for seconds. The best part was that Tim and his team even made about 15 extra boxes of pizzas for us to have at the end of the night. I will never forget leading our wedding guests through town towards the bar we were having our after party at, while simultaneously eating pizza.
Tim, his wife, and his team were superb and we would 1000% have them cater our wedding again. The value proposition is great, and our guests loved having a different wedding reception dinner experience! Thank you Stone Oven Catering!
***
As an aside: Tim has a team that staffs the truck and the buffet. However, we separately hired 6 servers to bus/clean up our wedding.

Cyrena Sent on 08/19/2015My husband and I wanted a laid back backyard wedding reception with out favorite food, pizza. Right from the start, we hit it off with Tim, who is the nicest and easiest guy to work with. He really helped us get the dynamic we wanted for our reception and took every one of my calls and answered every one of my questions about every dinner detail. It all worked out perfectly just as planned, and the quality of his food is outstanding. Everyone loved every single thing he made. Better yet, he even made sure my husband and I ate and personally has our favorite pizzas sent to us as we mingled. Tim went above and beyond and did a great job. -

Angie Sent on 04/15/2015If you're looking for great-tasting, casual food and a fantastic value, look no further. There were some things I wished I had communicated better as far as presentation goes, but the taste made up for any small quips. Tim is great at what he does, and made a menu for us that went beyond just "pizza." People complimented the food all night long. -
User2356590 Sent on 10/08/2015Absolutely horrendous service! My fiance and I tried hiring Stone Oven Catering for our wedding this October. It was impossible to get them on the phone and the only way we were able to connect with them was through email. When trying to set up a meeting to go over details, Tim suggested we just 'show up' to one of the events he was working, not exactly the greatest of environments to go over the details of hiring a caterer for your wedding.
Even after that we still wanted to go with Stone Oven for our wedding because we loved the idea of serving pizza, and because of the value... after about two weeks of non returned phone calls and emails they finally got back to us... to say that they were actually booked for that day! Very frustrating because we wasted so much time trying to get a hold of them that we were rushed to find another caterer with only a month left before our wedding. The icing on the cake? In that same email, he demanded why it had taken US so long to get back to him.
Hopefully this review will serve as a warning for anyone looking into Stone Oven Catering for their event....Stone Oven Catering (Mobile Wood Fired Pizza)'s reply:
This person called us two months before their wedding date, and by luck we had just had a cancelation. They asked if we could come to their house to discuss their wedding plans, but it was in the middle of our busy season (after 4 years of great service, we book up fast) and I could not spend four hours driving and talking, I suggested that they come to one of our "public" events and we could talk then. ( most of our customers are referrals or people who have seen us at public events and plan and book their event with us over the phone and through email. People typically love this idea-they can see the beautiful oven, meet the staff and enjoy the delicious food. ( We are not a fancy caterer, most events are under $20 per person!) Immediately after the request to meet over an hour away, I received a request for another wedding on the same date. I told that person that I was waiting to hear back from someone else, and that I would get back to them. Our policy is to cater the first person who requests a day and sends a deposit.) I sent an email to follow up, but they did not respond, and I booked the other wedding. ( And if you called, you could have left a message). As far as "demanding why you didn't call" , I think I ask why you didn't respond, because I felt bad that we could not do your wedding. We are truly sorry that you are so upset that you felt the need to write such a scathing review of people you have never met, and whose food you have never tasted.
