Pizza Catering
Pizza catering is one of the most reliably crowd-pleasing options for team lunches, office parties, and casual corporate events. A classic comfort food with near-universal appeal, pizza comes in a wide variety of styles — thin crust, deep dish, Neapolitan, and more — with toppings ranging from classic pepperoni and cheese to BBQ chicken, pesto, or eggplant parmesan. For catering, pizza is typically ordered by the pie and served buffet-style, making it fast and efficient for large groups. Gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese options are now widely available, making pizza more accommodating of dietary restrictions than ever.

Best Practices for Ordering Pizza Catering
The key to great pizza catering is timing. Pizza is best eaten within 30-45 minutes of delivery, so coordinate your delivery window carefully. For large groups where slices will sit on a buffet table, ask the caterer to cut pizzas into 10-12 slices rather than the standard 8 — smaller slices reduce waste and let guests try more varieties. Order a mix of styles to ensure options for everyone.
Building the Right Pizza Mix for Your Group
A well-rounded pizza order for a team includes at least one classic cheese, one meat option (pepperoni, sausage, or chicken), and one vegetarian option (margherita, pesto, or veggie combo). This mix ensures there's something for the widest range of preferences. If you know your team well, a signature or specialty pizza — BBQ chicken, white pizza, or something with a seasonal topping — adds a memorable element to an otherwise routine catering order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pizzas should I order per person?
A common rule of thumb is 3 slices per person when pizza is the main item. One large pizza (8 slices) feeds about 2-3 people as a main course. For a group of 20, 7-8 large pizzas is a solid starting point. If you're also serving salads or sides, you can plan closer to 2 slices per person. When in doubt, round up — cold pizza is always a welcomed leftover.
What pizza options work best for guests with dietary restrictions?
Most pizza caterers now offer gluten-free crusts and at least one vegan or vegetarian option. For vegetarians, almost any pizza can be ordered without meat. For vegans, look for menus offering vegan cheese. Cauliflower crust is a popular lower-carb, typically gluten-free alternative. When ordering for a group, always include at least one clearly vegetarian pizza so those guests have multiple choices.
How do I keep pizza warm at a large group event?
Pizza holds well in insulated boxes for about 30-45 minutes from delivery. For larger events, coordinate your delivery timing so pizza arrives shortly before guests are ready to eat. If slices cool down during a long event, reheating in a regular oven at 375°F for 5-8 minutes works well. Warming oven setups or chafing equipment can help for events spanning more than an hour.
What goes well with pizza for a team lunch?
Caesar salad, green salad, and garlic bread are the most popular pizza accompaniments for catering. For larger events, adding a pasta salad, chips and dip, or a simple appetizer spread fills out the table and gives non-pizza eaters more to enjoy. Simple desserts like cookies or brownies pair well with an informal pizza lunch.
