What's included

Three things land on every package.

Pies fired in waves

Five to seven pizzas, family-style, paced through the night, Margherita, a white, a seasonal red, the clam pie when it's on, dolci to close.

Paired by the beverage director

Dana builds a flight: a sparkling on arrival, a white through antipasti, a red with the heavy pies. Or an open bar package.

A captain + a pizzaiolo

A dedicated captain runs the floor and a pizzaiolo runs the oven for you, they own the pacing so nobody at your table waves anyone down.

How it usually goes
  1. You share date, guest count, and what kind of night it is.
  2. Our events coordinator Bri Salazar comes back with a package and a hold.
  3. We confirm food + bar choices a week out. Deposit secures it.
  4. You arrive. Pies start. Dana pours. You host.

Before you ask

The five questions we get every week.

Can you accommodate gluten-free, vegan, or other dietary restrictions?
Yes. We bake a separate GF crust on dedicated equipment, and most pies can be made vegan with house cashew mozzarella. Flag restrictions when you confirm the menu a week out and we'll build the progression around them.
Can we bring our own cake or dessert?
Yes, outside cakes are welcome with a $1.50/pp plating fee (covers cutting, plates, and cleanup). Our pastry team can also build a custom dolci course; ask Bri for the seasonal options.
What's the deposit and cancellation policy?
A 25% deposit confirms the date. Full refund up to 14 days out; 50% refund 7-13 days out; deposit retained inside 7 days. Final guest count is locked 72 hours before.
Can we bring an outside florist, photographer, or band?
Florists and photographers, yes, no fees. Live music: acoustic duos work great in the semi-private room; a full band needs the Wickenden buyout. Tell us at booking so we can plan the load-in.
Is the space accessible?
Wickenden is street-level with an ADA-compliant restroom. The Federal Hill semi-private room has one 4-inch step at entry; a portable ramp is available, just request it at booking.
Ready when you are

Tell us the date. We'll come back with a plan.

Bri usually replies within one business day. Faster if you mention what you're celebrating.
