Fire Box Pizza is one of Ottawa's most exciting and unique catering businesses. We are fully mobile, with our 6 foot Wood Fired Pizza Oven Trailer. We prepare fresh, scratch made Neopolitan style pizzas, made on the spot. Fire Box Pizza is perfect for birthday parties, staff events, community gatherings, weddings, pop-ups, markets, and so much more. 

​

We make 12” medium size pizzas served Family Style, where guests come up and grab a few slices at a time, mingle, and come back for more!

We cut our pizzas in 8 slices, and we estimate roughly 5-6 slices per adult guest.

​

You may choose up to a maximum of 4 different topping combinations per event.

​

For our setup; we will require a space of 15 feet by 15 feet, or 10 feet by 20 feet in order to fit our canopy and trailer. We show up to your event with everything that is required to make and serve the pizzas, including paper plates, napkins, and a garbage bin to dispose of all the trash. We do not require any gas, propane, or power in order to operate our setup. We rely solely on fire and ice. For us to be able to set up in a backyard, we will require an opening of at least 6 feet wide in order to push the trailer in to the backyard. In some cases, depending on the layout and proximity of neighbors, we are able to set up our oven on the side of the house and have our canopy and work station in the backyard a little closer to the party.

​

We will bring a few pizza boxes with us to your event in order to pack up any leftover pizzas for you.

​

All food and dough is made from scratch.

If there are any dietary restrictions or limitations, feel free to inquire.

Due to the style of business, we unfortunately cannot accommodate Celiac guests. We would be able to accommodate gluten intolerant guests, there would just be an additional charge to make the special gluten free dough. There would be the same additional charge for any dairy intolerant guests, as well. 

 

There is a minimum of a $600 food cost for a catered event (this comes out to roughly enough pizzas to serve 30 guests and an appetizer, depending on the menu selected). Appetizers and Desserts count toward the minimum as well.

​

We always bring a few extra pizza doughs and toppings to the events in order to be able to accommodate any additional pizzas required or in case of error on our part.  

​

Our optimal party size is from 30 - 80 guests.

We are usually very accommodating, and can discuss the possibility of doing events for parties less or more than this number of guests.

​

A Catering Fee of 30% of total food cost will apply to all events. (A higher catering fee percentage will apply to groups smaller than 30 people)

A Labor Cost of $25 an hour will apply for each staff member required for the event. (usually 2 or 3)

​

A non-refundable deposit of $250 + hst is required to secure the date for an event. The deposit needs to be sent at least 2 weeks before the event date.

We also require a signed copy of the event agreement prior to the date of the event.

An invoice for the remainder of the event cost will be sent after the event has taken place in order to reflect any possible last minute additional pizzas. 

​

We charge a travel fee of $2 per km exceeding the 15km range from our prep space in Orleans (Youville Dr.).

​

At Fire Box Pizza, we don't believe in charging more for an event simply because it is a wedding. We give every event the same amount of care and attention to detail.

​

We like to arrive at events at least 1 hour before the time food is served, and it can take roughly the same amount of time to complete our tear down.

​

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to send us an email with information about your event and we will do our best to accommodate. Our contact information may be found under the “Contact Us” tab at the top of the page.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
