Growing up in a Sicilian family meant one thing, food was central in all gatherings. And love. And food and love were always the theme. After meeting Jeremy, she quickly realized he was in on the game. First date was shared time in the kitchen creating a dozen different tapas for close friends. The ensuing years have been filled with the most delicious, mind blowing food experiences and intimate connection between each other and the people they love.

course was unreal. Every single pie was fresh, flavorful, and hands-down some of the best pizza we’ve had. We kept saying we wish they had a physical location because there’s truly nothing else around here that compares. Our guests are still talking about it. Could not recommend them more.

dding feel special from the moment they got set up and started creating pizza masterpieces. Our guests were in LOVE with the bbq chicken pizza, the Caesar salad and the basil/mozzarella/tomato kabobs. They even provided us a special bbq pizza specifically made for us for the evening. It’s so utterly important to have a food vendor you believe in, and boy are we glad we took a chance and chose fire on wheels to help us make our day even better. Thank you! Highly recommend !

he day special. From the moment we reached out, their communication was outstanding—they were always responsive, accommodating, and eager to understand exactly what we wanted.
The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also packed with flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the [specific dish or cuisine]—it was a hit! Jeremy and his wife also took the time to accommodate some dietary restrictions without compromising the quality or taste, which we really appreciated.
What really set them apart, though, were the personal touches. They customized the menu to fit our theme perfectly and made sure everything ran smoothly. It felt like they truly cared about making our event memorable, and that level of dedication is hard to find.
If you’re looking for a team that offers top-notch service, mouth-watering food, and a seamless experience, I highly recommend Jeremy and his wife. We couldn’t have asked for better!

work with. They not only kept us fully informed, but you could tell put a lot of thought into the menu and our experience. They also were very self sufficient and handled small issues on their own without much direction. All in all, I would whole heartedly recommend Fire on Wheels for any special event!

Above and beyond was the theme of our experience with Fire on Wheels. From the first call with Jeremy, he customized the service to what we needed. I wanted a dinner service I didn...
't need to worry about, from setup to service to cleanup. He and his gracious family provided everything from appetizers to dessert. I was nervous about the event and he assured and guided me through it, listening carefully to my wants and keeping the focus there. At the last minute I asked for an extra helper and he was able to accommodate. The food: appetizers, gourmet pizzas and cream puffs was amazing! My guests raved about the pizza, made with fresh top quality ingredients. This family run business treats their clients with such kindness and warmth! They offered custom to order pizzas with on-hand ingredients to my guests with special food needs. Made some pizzas with gluten free dough for those who wanted it. Overall this hardworking family was absolutely delightful. They kept up with clean up along the way and sent guests home with pizzas. Truly, I didn't worry because my guests, and I were well taken care of with delicious food and allergies were accommodated and I had no mess to clean up afterwards. And by the way, besides the best organic ingredients, imported flour and tomatoes, they are also environmentally conscious and if we used their paper goods and utensils those were also recycled and/or biodegradable.
If I could give them ten stars I would be because the exceeded my expectations and were a joy to work with!

exceeded our wildest expectations on the day - they ensured every guest was so taken care of from start to finish - and the food was out of this world. We still have guest talking about the pizza and the grazing boards.
They were able to cater to a unique set of dietary needs, and took such great care in delivering to our guests during the dinner. They are an incredible family, and we cannot suggest them enough.
Looking back on our wedding day, my husband and my only regret is not eating more pizza :)

Jeremy and his team were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding. I'm a professional chef, and so have high standards for catering, but Fire on Wheels blew me – and our guests – away....
The quality of the ingredients were top notch and everything was cooked and served to perfection. Also, Jeremy's communication and professionalism was truly excellent. Beyond that, they're just a really great set of folks and our guests loved interacting with them. I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding without hesitation!
