Catered pizza at a wedding? Taco truck?

The celebration should reflect your personalities. If your venue allows it, I say go for it!

There are some really great Italian restaurants that cater. I probably wouldn't serve it at a black tie affair, but if presented in a nice manner it could make for a fun (but maybe a little messy) dinner. Maybe you could offer some other options besides pizza that the restaurant offers for those who may not be as in love with the dish as you are. Artisan pizzas/flatbreads can be a lot of fun. If the restaurant does catering, they already know how to present food in a professional manner. I wouldn't just call any random pizza shop and ask them to drop off 50 boxes of pizza though. I would make sure I was ordering from a nicer restaurant that offered catering services.

I'd want my wedding to be something different than I eat on Tuesday.

I'm doing this at my wedding with a portable brick oven for wood-fired pizzas made on the property. When executed properly, this looks awesome, and its a great way to keep a low-key vibe at a small or less formal wedding.. Obviously, don't serve it out of a box... but take a look at some pictures online of how it looks when it's presented properly. This isn't from my wedding, but it's from my another wedding done by my caterer. I love it!

I would LOVE pizza at a wedding!

I think you can get away with it as long as you aren't advertising anything formal.

Have you looked into a food truck?

Definitely do some pinteresting.

I say go for it! It's your day. Those that know you would understand.

Thank you for all the responses guys its definitely not black tie. Its a casual wedding with family/friends (80 guests, I have a huge family)

I think it would be awesome

I've been to a pizza wedding, but they did it the wrong way.... the delivery guy showed up during speeches and then they just put all the boxes out on the table. It came off as extremely tacky. It would make a lot more sense if it was a restaurant and not a chain pizza place. I'm sure it can be done correctly, but for whatever reason, it rubbed me the wrong way. Everyone in formal dress eating pizza, so odd, but to each his own!

I'd much rather have the pizza MCB1218 posted versus some of the crappy wedding food I've eaten in the past. Gourmet pizzas sound like an awesome alternative.

Only if it's gourmet pizza. Skip the dominos.

I think it depends on how it's done and what you serve with it.

I was gonna do pizza! Then we had to go with the venue caterer, I was actually disappointed..lol. I think it's an awesome idea! You can dress it up and you know everyone will like it (: no wasted food!!

I'm doing pizza from a local wood fired highly rated and super delicious pizza place.

I feel like there is a nice way to do a pizza hosted event. :3

If the food is good quality and abundant I wouldn't complain. You could consider having Italian food and saving the pizza for a late night snack.

I think that's a great idea!

Why not?

Here's the thing...it's your day....you are hosting people for the first time as a couple.

Do what inspires you. Just make sure you have enough food for the number of guests you invite.

Have fun!

It's fine as long as your caterer has experience serving pizza to a crowd as this can go very wrong otherwise. Be sure the presentation is nice and offer options.

Hey, Cheyenne-- as long as you're feeding your guests and not asking them to pay, nothing tacky about it! And people who feed their guests pizza are just as married as those who serve a five course meal. Personally, I like pizza, too, and would prefer it to many wedding suppers I've had!
