Pizzaiolos: booking pizza catering for private parties

How pizzaiolos and pizza trucks can let hosts book catering for private parties online: one place per date, guest count, venue access, menus and set-up time.

5 min read

Birthdays, garden weddings and company parties want a wood-fired oven on a set date. Put your catering dates on a booking page with one place per date: the host books at any hour, the date leaves your page so it can't be promised twice, and you know the guest count and access before you load the truck.

One place per date

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give each event slot one place.

ServiceExample slotPlacesExample price
Pizza catering, evening event18:00–23:001from €600
Pizza catering, daytime event11:00–16:001from €500
Planning call20 min1Free
Pizza-making class at your party2 h1€300

Times and prices are examples: set your own, and say in the description what the price covers and how it changes with guest numbers.

Keep event dates in one service

Slots of different services can overlap on Book. If an evening and a daytime service share a date, both could be booked. Keep each weekday or weekend date in one service, or book the second format yourself only when the truck is free.

Guest count and access

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the host's calendar file. Ask for:

  • the guest count and the occasion;
  • the address and access for the truck or oven trailer;
  • power and water on site;
  • dietary needs: vegetarian, gluten-free.

Set-up time and menus

Say in the description how long before service you arrive to light the oven, and list your menus. Book a planning call a week before from your bookings list; if you enter the host's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file.

The season

Open event dates for the outdoor season with an end date. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date.

Changes

Hosts can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments or deposits. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.

Not with one place per slot and dates kept in one service.
What should hosts tell me?
Guest count, address, truck access, power and water, dietary needs.

Does Book take deposits?
No. Say in the description how you secure a date.
