The most asked questions
Do you deliver?
We get this question a lot because our pizza is so good. We are a pizza catering company though not a pizza shop that delivers. We will deliver some incredible pizza if you would like to plan an event with us. We will prep and cook at your party.
What kind of parties do you cater?
We get this question a lot too. We bring Blazing Hearth Pizza to Family events like Graduation Parties, 40th Birthday Parties, Block Parties and Tailgates. We also cater more formal events like Wedding Receptions, Rehearsal Dinners and even late night after Wedding Parties. Blazing Hearth Pizza also caters Corporate Outings, Sales Meetings and Crew Lunches or Celebrations.
Where will your truck be parked today for lunch or dinner?
Great question! We are flattered that people want to seek us out for our pizza. We are a catering company though and not a traditional food truck. We are not set up to be able to sell pizza direct to the public.
How much does it cost for Blazing Hearth Pizza to cater my event?
We charge 30 to 40 dollars per person depending on the event and the menu package you choose. That includes unlimited salad, pizza and dessert. Pizza only packages start at 25 dollars per person. In addition, there is a 500 dollar Catering Event service and set up charge to cover the cost of our truck and staff for four hours on-site.
Do I have to pay full price for children?
We don’t count the number of guests at your party. That would not be very friendly. We will prepare and cook the amount of food for the number of persons you plan with us. You should plan Kids under 10 as counted as 2-1. We will bring out (and you will pay for) fewer servings and less food with kids.
Does everyone at my party order their own pizza?
We serve “Pizza Bar” style. We make all the different varieties of pizzas that you have ordered for your party and serve them cut into slices. Your guests can sample as many varieties of pizza they like or just stick to our Say Cheese pizza if they prefer. Guests do not order pizza. We plan the menu with you to accommodate the needs of your guests.

Rain or Snow
What happens if it rains or snows?
Like you we want to do everything we can to have your party happen in rain or snow. We have an awning that extends over our work area to protect the area in front of the oven and a tent to cover the serving area so we will plan to cook pizza unless there are severe weather conditions. If severe weather is in the forecast, we will work with you to plan to either delay your event or reschedule to another day.
Can you bring pizzas inside?
Yes, in case of weather, we can bring pizzas into the house, garage, a tent, lanai or other covered area. We can also serve starters, salads and desserts inside. Pizza is best served at the pizza bar at the truck.
.....................
Can you pull up to my garage?
We can pull up close to a building or garage, but we cannot pull inside a building because of our Blazing Hearth.
.....................
Parking and Set Up
Can you park in the backyard?
We prefer to park and set up in your driveway but if the ground in your backyard is level and firm enough, yes. However, please be aware of the weight of the truck is 25,000 lbs, so we should stay away from septic systems and in ground sprinkler systems.
Can you park on the street in front of my house?
We can park in the street, as long as the road is reasonably level and there is room for our prep tables and you have permission from the town.
.....................
What are the truck dimensions?
Our truck is about 10 feet wide. and 25 feet long. The kitchen prep area extends the passenger side of the vehicle another 15 feet. so we need a minimum of 25x25' space to set up with at least 12 feet high of clearance over the truck and tent.

What about cheese (lactose) free pizzas?
Yes. We have lots of other delicious toppings in addition to our cheeses.
