Our team arrives 60–90 minutes early to set up the high-performance Ooni ovens, prep station, and toppings bar. Guests customize their pizzas (or we guide them), and our Modern Catering chefs stretch dough, add toppings, and fire each pie in just 60 seconds at 900°F+. It's live, hands-on entertainment—perfect for creating memorable moments while we handle the details.
Our tiered packages start at a 40-guest minimum for seamless flow and unlimited pizza. Service typically runs 1.5–3 hours depending on the tier (Essential: 1.5–2 hrs; Full Blaze: 2.5–3 hrs). We can accommodate smaller events with flat-rate pricing—contact us for a custom quote.
We need a flat, outdoor or well-ventilated indoor/outdoor area (about 10x10 ft for one oven station; more for multiple). Access to a power outlet (for lighting/tools if needed) and a nearby parking spot for our van/equipment is ideal. We're fully mobile and self-sufficient—no open flames issues with gas-powered Ooni setup in most venues.
Absolutely. We offer gluten-free dough (+$4/pp, pre-order required), vegan cheese/toppings, and nut-free options. Our team is trained in cross-contamination prevention. Just let us know your needs when requesting a quote—we'll customize the toppings bar accordingly.
We recommend 4–8 weeks for peak dates (weekends, holidays, summer/wedding season), but we often accommodate last-minute requests if our schedule allows. Early booking secures your preferred tier and date!
Yes, all packages include compostable plates, napkins, and eco-friendly serveware. Our team handles full setup, breakdown, and cleanup so your venue stays spotless.
Definitely! As a signature extension of Modern Catering, we seamlessly pair with appetizers, salads, desserts, or bar service from our parent brand. Many clients add us as the interactive centerpiece to an existing menu.
Add we're flexible—notify us at least 7 days in advance for major changes. Our unlimited model means we prep extra dough and toppings; if needed, we can extend service or add a late-night reload (+$8/pp) for those post-dinner cravings.
Travel fees may apply. Colorado State and City's sales tax and 20-25% service charge apply. Gratuity (18–20% suggested). We'll note everything transparently in your quote.
Our Ooni-powered stations are designed for outdoor use and perform reliably in a wide range of conditions. Light rain, wind, or cooler temperatures won't stop the show - gas-fueled Ooni ovens heat quickly and cook pizzas in 60 seconds regardless of light precipitation. We use weather-resistant covers for the ovens when not in active use, keep peels and tools dry, and adjust setup (e.g., wind direction) for optimal results. However, we prioritize safety and guest comfort: in heavy rain, thunderstorms, high winds (>25 mph sustained), extreme cold that affects equipment, or other severe weather, we implement our contingency plan (detailed below).
We monitor forecasts closely and communicate proactively. Our standard contingency options include:
We discuss weather backups during quoting and confirm a plan 7–10 days out (or sooner for volatile seasons).
It's highly recommended for rain protection and guest comfort, especially in unpredictable weather. We don't include tents in base pricing (to keep costs flexible), but we partner with reliable rental companies and can add tent coordination as an upsell or note it in your quote. A simple 10x10 or 10x20 canopy over the station keeps everything dry and maintains the interactive vibe. If your venue already has covered space, that's perfect—no extra needed!
There are no weather-related surcharges for light/moderate conditions. In the event of severe weather forcing a major change (e.g., full indoor relocation or backup prep), we absorb extra logistics costs—no added fees to you. Full refunds are rare and only apply if the event is canceled outright by mutual agreement (venue closure, etc.). We're committed to making it work—Modern Catering's reputation is built on reliability, rain or shine.
Contact us early—we love planning for perfect events, whatever the forecast!
