    Joe and his team are the kings of za! Highest compliments to the chefs!

    When it came time to plan our wedding Joe and his team were our top choice for stuffing our faces with the best pizza pies and wings and salad this side of the James. Big time chefs kiss!

    Best pizza ever!

    My husband and I LOVE River City Wood Fire, which is saying a lot for me particularly as I'm not crazy about pizza, but we fight over these! When it came time to choose a rehearsal dinner caterer, we know we'd be calling Joe. Everyone LOVED their pizzas, salad, swings, and we were touched by the engraved pizza peel with our names and wedding date on it which
    now lives in our kitchen. They are a delicious and fun option for any part of your wedding celebrations! Trust us, people will be talking about that meal for many days to come! HIRE THEM! You won't regret it!

    The perfect wedding food

    Joe and his team were wonderful to work with from the moment we first made contact to the tasting to the wedding day. Our guests are still talking about what a great idea pizza was! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. We would highly recommend River City Wood Fire for your wedding!

    AMAZING Food & Service!

    We are so happy we hired River City Wood Fire Pizza to cater our wedding! Joe and his team are awesome and make some delicious pizza. So many of our guests asked us where our food was from because they wanted to go get some on their own! Joe also made accomodations for a few of our guests with dietary restrictions (gluten free & vegan). He even put 8 pizzas aside for the bride and groom to take home since we didn't have much time to eat at the wedding. We were so impressed and will definitely make the trip to Richmond just to eat his pizza again!

    Dinner for Wedding Reception

    River city was a pleasure to work with for our wedding day! From contract signing to execution on our wedding day, we couldn’t be more pleased with how everything turned out. And our guests are STILL raving about the pizza - it was so delicious! So many people loved it and have asked for info about it - we couldn’t recommend River City more!

    I cannot say enough about Joe and his team. I would highly recommend him for your event. He was on time, food was wonderful! Joe was a barrel of laughs. Joe would always answer my emails on a timely basis. You will not go wrong with River City Fire Wood.

    River City Wood Fire is Excellent!

    River City Wood Fire catered my wife and I's rehearsal dinner. It was a fantastic experience. Meeting with Joe for the tasting was great, he's a cool, kind and caring dude and spent time going through options with us. The crew that worked the event was awesome as well. Incredibly responsive and courteous throughout the dinner. The pizza was by far the best we've ever had and our guests would also agree. We could not have asked for it to be any better than it was. River City Wood Fire is awesome and I would highly recommend using them for a wedding, rehearsal dinner or catering any other event.

    The absolute best!

    After meeting the owner Joe this past spring at one of his public events, we knew instantly that River City would be perfect for our daughter's rehearsal dinner -- and they did not disappoint! The food received endless compliments from the guests, the service was impeccable (and invisible), and the attention to detail (including dietary restrictions) was extraordinary. Joe is a real character, but he takes his business, and his dedication to quality, very seriously and professionally. If you want something different from traditional fare, as well as a memorable event that your guests will be talking about for years, you absolutely cannot go wrong by choosing River City.

    Rehearsal dinner

    River city came out during the remnants of hurricane Ian to cater my daughter’s rehearsal dinner. Joe was incredibly accommodating to all my guests who had special meal requests! The pizza was fabulous! He and his staff were also so nice and visited with our guests! An amazing time was had by all!

    The best decision you can make!

    My husband and I have been together for almost four years - just married on October 1st. We have had more River City pizza together than any other meal together. The first thing we planned for our wedding was what food we were going to have - of course River City Wood Fire - and we never waivered.
    The process of booking them was very easy and they were very responsive. Joe, the owner, is hilarious and there to help with the event and anything you need!
    We had to change our wedding venue three days before the wedding and River City were saints and went right along with the change and made it stress free on the part of the food.
    Day of the wedding they made the best food. Everyone that came to our wedding RAVED about our food. Even my vegetable adverse sister loved their Sir Brussels pizza!

    River City Wood Fire is phenomenal and I truly mean that! Book them for your wedding, rehearsal dinner or event and you will not regret it!

    Couldn’t Ask For More

    My husband and I absolutely loved the food RCWF provided for our wedding, our guests STILL rave about how incredible our food was! They kept it warm and made sure the food was fully stocked the entire time no one was waiting on more at any point, they could just walk up to the buffet and grab it, it was killer from the planning, to the apps, to the main course, to clean up. They totally crushed it, I recommend them a million times over!

    Amazing pizza, great service

    River City catered my wedding in September. The food was amazing and all of the guests were so excited to have pizza instead of “traditional” wedding food! Joe was great at communicating and quick to respond to all emails and inquiries. Definitely book them for your next event!

    River City provided wonderful service and excellent pizza for our son’s wedding rehearsal. They were prompt and very professional. The pizza racks stayed stocked and the salad was amazing. Don’t miss out. Joe, Caroline and crew will take good care of you!

    The best pizza in town

    Joe and his team at River City Wood Fired Pizza are fantastic. I hired them for a client appreciation party for 100 people and every guest raved about the pizza and service. Cannot say enough good things about them! Joe is so accommodating and is always so friendly and works hard to make sure customers are happy. Definitely hire them for your next party or gathering!

    Exceptional Experience!

    I can't emphasize enough how positive of an experience my wife and I had with River City Wood Fire. From trying to decide on a catering service to the day of the event, Joe and his team were amazing. The initial tasting was a blast and showed just how many excellent pizzas they have to offer. Between that time and the event, they were very communicative and helpful regarding our reception. On the day of the event, they had everything working efficiently and were very thoughtful about providing a good experience to our dairy-free and gluten-free guests. They are so considerate that they even made an extra pizza for a friend who could not attend due to an illness.

    I cannot say enough good things about this company; seriously, I could go on and on. If you want excellent food from a relaxed and organized caterer, go with River City Wood Fire.
