The Local Hive experience

More Than Catering. It's Part of the Experience.

We don't cater pizza. We create live culinary experiences, with theatre, aroma and craftsmanship at the heart of your celebration, that your guests will talk about long after the last ember fades.

Your Wedding Deserves More Than Ordinary Catering.

Weddings are a big part of who we are. We cater more than fifty of them every year. Your guests get fresh wood-fired pizza made right in front of them, a pizza bar that keeps coming, and a team that knows how a wedding day runs.

We start with a consultation, then build a menu and serving plan around your day: cocktail-hour appetizers, the pizzas you love, dessert, and lemonade and infused water service.

  • Wood-fired pizza made fresh on-site
  • Fully customizable wedding menus
  • Cocktail-hour appetizers & charcuterie
  • Cookies, tiramisu & mousse cake
  • Gluten-free & vegetarian options
  • We coordinate with your planner & venue
Wedding dates are booking into 2028. If you've set a date, check it with us early.

The cocktail hour

Caprese and antipasto skewers, charcuterie, garlic bread, passed or displayed while you take photos.

The pizza bar

Buffet-style and continuously refreshed, so guests can come back for The Stinger, The Queen Bee and whatever's next out of the oven.

The send-off

Chocolate chip cookies, tiramisu or our six-layer chocolate mousse cake to close the night, and a venue left spotless behind us.

"I really can't say enough good things about this company! Our experience with Local Hive Pizza Co. was exceptional from start to finish. We hosted a small wedding reception, and I was so happy we found them. The pizza, salad, and appetizers were absolutely delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. Everything with the setup and takedown went smoothly and was perfectly timed. What impressed me just as much as the food was the outstanding communication. From our very first interaction through the completion of our event, the staff was friendly, professional, responsive, and wonderful to work with. Local Hive Pizza helped make our celebration feel extra special, and I would highly recommend them for any event you may be hosting!"
