Frequently Asked Questions
Service & Packages
How do your wood-fired catering packages work?
Visit our Pricing Page to view our three distinct tier options (Classic, Special, and Gourmet), then choose your favourite pizza selections from our menu. Because every event is unique, we are always happy to customise a package or tailor our service to perfectly fit your crowd and budget.
How is the food served on the night?
Pizzas are cooked fresh and served continuously from your designated start time until all your guests are full and satisfied. We serve the pizzas across 6 large wooden serving platters at a serving station of your choice for an easy roaming buffet style. We supply eco-friendly paper plates and napkins, and professional wait staff can easily be arranged for an additional hourly cost if you prefer table or pass-around service.
Logistics & Setup
What geographic locations do you service?
We are proudly based in South Australia, servicing the entire Adelaide metropolitan area
How much space does your mobile oven require?
Our custom wood fired oven is mounted on a compact 4ft x 7ft trailer. We require a clear, flat, outdoor area roughly the size of a small car or driveway to position the trailer safely.
How much space does your mobile oven require?
We require an outdoor space for the oven and a covered area nearby (such as a carport, veranda, garage, or pergola) to set up at least two prep tables where we roll fresh dough and top the pizzas. If you do not have a covered area available, we can supply a professional marquee for a small additional setup fee. We are completely self sufficient and require no domestic kitchen access.
When do we arrive to set up?
We arrive well before your scheduled serving time to get fully set up, roll our homemade dough on-site, and stoke the fire. When your guests' hunger kicks in, the oven is roaring at perfect temperature and ready to launch
Our Menu & Ingredients
What makes The Pizza Round base so special?
Our homemade dough is made fresh from scratch and is never pre-cooked. Unlike traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas, which can be wet and soggy in the middle with oversised crusts, we have perfected our own unique style over the past 20+ years. Our signature base is light, fluffy, and crisp. Just firm enough that it never flops or requires folding, leaving your guests completely satisfied without feeling heavy or bloated
Where are our toppings sourced?
We believe in supporting local. The vast majority of our fresh toppings are bought and produced locally right here in South Australia. To keep things strictly authentic, we source our premium San Marzano tomato sauce, specialised flour, and select cured meats directly from Italy. Every ingredient is carefully cut by hand to guarantee freshness. We are generous with our toppings, but are careful to ensure they do not weigh the pizza down
How do we handle dietary requirements?
Nobody gets left out of the experience. The Pizza Round operates a strictly 100% nut-free kitchen environment. We seamlessly accommodate all individual dietary needs, expertly preparing dedicated vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free variations. Individual dietary pizzas are carefully tracked and served directly to the relevant guests on the night for total safety and peace of mind.
Do you count children in the guest head count?
Yes, but we offer tailored options for families. Children under 8 years old eat completely free, and we offer a reduced rate for older kids.
Do we offer gluten-free pizza?
Yes! We proudly make our own gluten-free bases from scratch using premium Italian flour imported from Naples. Our customers frequently tell us it's the absolute best gluten-free pizza they have ever eaten. (Want to learn the secret? We reveal our exact recipe and techniques in our popular Masterclasses!)
Interactive Experiences
Do you offer any interactive catering options?
Absolutely! To add an engaging, memorable element to your private function, milestone birthday, or Kids Party, we can integrate aspects of our popular Masterclass format. The guest of honour, adventurous friends, or kids can step up to the prep bench, learn how to stretch dough, choose their toppings, and try their hand at safely launching a pizza into the roaring fire under the guidance of our family team.
What is involved in your Pizza Masterclasses?
Our interactive workshops run for up to 3 hours and are perfect for private gatherings, corporate team building, or school groups. Our team shares all of our signature dough and sauce recipes completely from scratch. Every participant gets hands on experience mixing dough, learning the science behind the rise, stretching the base, and perfecting oven cooking techniques before feasting on their creations. We bring all the fresh ingredients, tools, aprons, and equipment directly to your venue, and we can even teach you how to mimic a real wood oven using your standard domestic kitchen appliance.
How do your Kids Party packages work?
Our Kids Experience gives children the unique opportunity to become a pizza chef for a day in a supportive, lively environment. The little chefs get to fully participate in four fun activities: stretching and rolling their own real pizza dough, spreading the sauce, adding their favorite toppings, and getting artistic by custom decorating their very own cardboard pizza box. Our family team takes care of absolutely everything, bringing all the required materials, tools, and portable setup to keep the kids fully engaged, creative, and fed.
