  Delicious artisan pizza

  Best pizza I've ever had! Their pricing is significantly lower than other caterers in the area, but they serve high-quality food. Everyone at the wedding loved having them.

  Best Pizza Vendor in SoCal

  Olivewood catered my wedding a couple of weeks ago. I cannot say enough good things about the food and the team at Olivewood. It seemed like every guest at our wedding told us "this is the best wedding food we have ever had". That is the exact experience we wanted to create and could not have done it without Olivewood.
  
  Before choosing Olivewood, I talked to so many different pizza vendors in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. The professionalism displayed by Ian, Heather and Kailee was truly unmatched in the industry. I would highly recommend having Olivewood cater any event.

  Forget the traditional full service receptions...

  Let me just say that the pizzas are one of the best I've ever had.
  
  The wife and I planned our wedding during the peak of Covid and we wanted to limit contact between the guests and vendors so we opted for a self-serve type of reception. Additionally, we requested to have individual pizzas per guest and Olive Wood was very accomodating. Our families are very traditional and were skeptical of having pizza as the reception meal, but they already had their own weddings last century, so we went forward with the pizzas anyways lol. And guess what... they said it was the best reception meal they've had at a wedding. Who says pizzas cant be classy?

  Olive Wood Pizza is incredible!

  If you are looking for AMAZING wedding food that is a crowd pleaser, you have found your answer! We got married on August 3, 2019 in Rolling Hills, CA, and Olive Wood Pizza was a HUGE hit! We wanted the food at our wedding to be memorable and delicious, and Ian and his team made that dream come true. Ian was very friendly, professional, and accommodating from day one through the wedding day. His attitude was, "This is your wedding. We'll do whatever it takes," and he was one of the only vendors we found during our wedding planning process that had this approach. And it paid off. Olive Wood Pizza easily accommodated all of our the dietary restrictions for our guests (no pork, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). They even created a custom made pizza for us (garlic & mushroom with truffle oil) that was a smashing success! We lost track of how many of our wedding guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! We would recommend Olive Wood Pizza in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a wedding caterer.

  Your pizza's and your team were the "hit" of our party! EVERYONE complemented us on the food. These guys set up quickly and deliver non stop. We especially loved the jalapeño and bacon pizza. Also fun to watch as they toss the dough in the air and bake in right front of you.
  If you need a caterer these guys are your pick!

  This is the 4th year to have Olive wood Pizza for our Temple's award party. Can't believe that the veggie pizza can be so tasty, they use fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheese, create variety flavors, it's really delicious even without any meats.
  They always bring surprise to customers.

  WE LOVED THIS FOOD!!! Our guests loved this food & are still talking about it!. Ian is FANTASTIC to work with - very informative, professional, and accommodating. We got married at SmogShoppe in Culver City with around 70 guests. The food was absolutely fantastic! Appetizers: tomato soup shooters, bruschetta, meatballs, & antipasto/charcuterie. Dinner: 7 varieties of pizza, orzo salad, green salad, & asparagus salad. The flavors were incredible!! A few of our guests were vegan and Ian was able to whip up special pizzas for them on the spot. The appeal for us was the quality and the fun of having the oven brought in with the pizzas cooked right in front of us and our guests. The food kept coming until guests stopped eating (2 hours of service). For a buffet, the food never ran low or ran out. Beautiful to look at, amazing to taste. Very filling, very delicious. Leftover pizzas were boxed up for us & we nibbled on them for breakfast the next day.
  
  Ian also has a great understanding of events & offered use of his staff to help set up our dessert bar (from another vendor - DIY). The cost paid included numerous planning conversations, the oven on-site, all food as described above, 2 hours of dinner service, and set up/tear down. The staff were very professional and very conscientious of our ceremony; they were prepping in the kitchen very close to our ceremony space and did not make a peep! They are truly outstanding.
  
  We will absolutely book Olive Wood in the future!

  WE. LOVED. THIS. FOOD!!! Our guests loved this food & are still talking about it!. Ian is the BEST. He is informative, professional, and accommodating. We got married at SmogShoppe in Culver City with around 80 guests. The food was absolutely fantastic! Ian helped to bring our vision together and customized the menu for us. We ended up going with tomato soup shooters, bruschetta, meatballs, & antipasto/charcuterie for appetizers and seven varieties of pizza with orzo salad, green salad, & asparagus salad for dinner. A few of our guests were vegan and Ian was able to whip up special pizzas for them on the spot.

The food kept coming until guests stopped eating (2 hours of service). Everything was beautiful and tasted fantastic!!
  
  I highly recommend Olive Wood Pizza, and will definitely book him again in the future!

  So I know all the reviews say the same thing: Olive Wood is amazing and their pizzas are the best. I just wanted to add to that enthusiastic clamour. We had Olive Wood come and cater our wedding with their mobile pizza oven and we could not have made a better choice.
  
  First off: the pizzas were amazing. Honestly the best pizzas I’ve ever had. If you want pizza at your event, you should go with Olive Wood. Even if you don’t, you should change your mind and then go with Olive Wood. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting them. I lost count of how many people told us what an incredible choice it was, but I DO remember that at least half of them were talking through a mouthful of pizza when they said it.
  
  Ian was also incredibly helpful. He met up with us a couple of months before the wedding to let us taste some of the pizzas they had, and to talk through how it would be served and distributed (I’m pretty sure we asked the same question about plates at least twelve times and he didn’t even get exasperated once). He gave us advice based on his experience of how much pizza people eat and for how long and what toppings to order, which helped us to plan out the rest of the evening too.
  
  He was also really helpful when it came to our guests’ dietary requirements: he provided gluten free bases for our wheat-intolerant attendees, and also made cheeseless vegan pizzas (which you should try even if you’re not a vegan; you will be AMAZED).
  
  The oven itself was really nice-looking and went perfectly with our wedding’s laid-back, garden-party feel.
  
  Long story short: People loved the selection of pizzas and they loved being able to go up and get more and more (and more) whenever they wanted. I’m thinking about it right now and already I want to go back and eat more Olive Wood Pizza pizza. In fact, if you do hire them, please invite me so I can eat some more.

  My husband (fiancé at the time) and I found Olive Wood Pizza at the Studio City Farmers Market as we were looking for catering options for our wedding. We tried the pizza and immediately were in love! Then we checked out their catering options and pricing and were even more in love. Olive Wood has great selection and is really affordable!
  
  We reached out immediately and Ian (chef & owner) got back to us really quickly even though he was on a family vacation. Such service! Working with Ian was a breeze. He was quick to answer questions, open to providing suggestions, and super flexible with our budget and venue constraints.
  
  It's almost a year after our wedding and our guests are STILL talking about how delicious the food was. We would absolutely use Olive Wood again and would definitely recommend them for other events.

  If you're planning a wedding and want to have non-traditional wedding food that your guests will absolutely LOVE, then you should seriously consider hiring Ian and his team at Olive Wood Pizza as your caterers! My husband and I were just married in Topanga Canyon on 7/12/14 could not be happier with the way the food turned out for our wedding. First of all, Ian is so easy to work with! He answered every question we had and offered useful tips on how to make our event run smoothly. He's also totally open to customizing the menu for you. Out of 120 guests, we had quite a few Vegans, so we asked Ian if he could make a soy-chorizo (specifically the soyrizo from Trader Joe's), garlic, caramelized onion pizza. It was no problem for him and a huge hit even to the non-Vegan guests! The other two pizzas, the two side salads, and the three appetizers turned out better than we could have imagined--my favorite was the bacon & blue cheese pizza :)
  
  A week later, our wedding guests are still talking about the food! And I'm drooling writing this. Thanks, Ian, for your fantastic service and awesome food! Highly recommended!

  The food was amazing!! So many people talked about how delicious it all was. The meatballs were a huge hit. Their service was fantastic as well!! Ian communicated with us via email and answered all questions/concerns. The day of our wedding they came, set up, served delicious food on time, cleaned up and left. We never had to worry about one single thing!! We had a pizza left over for a little midnight snack and it tasted even better than it did earlier that day....probably cuz we were able to actually eat in peace ☺️ I am so happy with our decision to go with Olive wood. I definitely recommend using them.
