This was my second experience with Forno Bova. We went to a friends wedding where they catered and it was the best wedding food we have ever had. My husband had no question on who ...
we wanted to cater our wedding. All of our guest were commenting on how good the food was and I couldn’t have been happier with their services.
I cannot say enough nice things about Forno Bova! Some of the best pizza I had, the service was quick, there were barely any lines as guests were grabbing their slices and they wer...
e so beyond easy to work with! My only regret is that I didn't eat enough pizza. 10/10 recommend!
All of the pizzas were delicious! Our guests weren't even letting the slice hit the plate. Would certainly recommend Forno Bova.
Forno Bova was such an incredible addition to our wedding this past September. They brought with them their full pizza oven and cooked delicious pizza and salad which our guests c...
ould not stop talking about. It was such a great experience for our guests that helped to make our wedding feel unique and special. In addition, working with Tony and his team was amazing. They were extremely responsive and flexible even with the possibility of rain they were always willing to work with us to make our day perfect. I couldn't recommend Forno Bova more highly!
I hired Forno Bova for my June 2023 wedding. Everything went well prior to the wedding. Our tasting was great and the communication was okay. On the day of my wedding, the Forno Bo...
va team showed up on time, provided delicious meats, cheeses, and spreads for cocktail hour and the pizza was constantly plentiful, hot, and ready for my 100 guests. They certainly do a great job at large events and under pressure!
Giving 3 stars because Tony, the owner, texted me (the bride) at 10pm the night before my wedding to tell me that he didn’t have an ingredient for a pizza that I selected WEEKS prior. He asked me, at 10pm the day before my wedding, if I could provide the ingredient. I was extremely angered by this. I found it highly inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. Overall I would recommend them but i was VERY disappointed and angered by this. It was the last thing that a stressed bride needed and expected to hear from her caterer the night before her wedding at her rehearsal dinner.
We used Forno Bova as our wedding caterer and they were amazing. Ellie and Tony were really diligent and communicative throughout the planning process. We really enjoyed the tastin...
g we did, and were so excited for everyone at the wedding to sample the pizza. The guests absolutely loved everything - the appetizers, the pizzas, everything! This was the perfect caterer for us, something unique but still classy and yet accessible for everyone. I wouldn't change a thing - they were so easy to work with and exceeded all my expectations.
We asked Forno Bova to cater at our wedding & they did not disappoint. They were super easy to work with & the food was AMAZING. If you’re looking for a fun and delicious idea, For...
no Bova is the way to go!
Tony, Ellie and team were such a pleasure to work with, not to mention the pizza is SO GOOD. We knew we wanted some good, stick to your ribs food at our wedding, and Forno Bova cer...
tainly delivered. They were churning out pizza at the reception all night, and we even had some extras to take to the after party with us.
They also worked seamlessly alongside another vendor we had for cocktail hour. Their communication was great and made the process very easy. We are super grateful!
Best food ever. Everyone thought this was the best wedding food they ever had! Tony took care of the bride and groom too delivering us a plate of charcuterie meat since we missed o...
ur cocktail hour appetizers! Would highly recommend any bride who loves pizza as much as me to us them!
We had Forno Bova cater our wedding along with another caterer. My husband went to pizza school in Naples when he was stationed overseas and grew to enjoy making, firing, and servi...
ng pizza to friends and family. When we started looking at caterers for our wedding, we knew we wanted something unique, and a mobile pizza oven seemed perfect! We were right. Forno Bova was awesome! Tony and Ellie were fantastic to work with and flexible with our requests. We served 4 types of pizza and had their awesome salad as well. Guested absolutely loved the food and are still talking about it. It was such a great surprise for guests, to have a pizza oven at our venue making and serving fresh pizza. We would highly recommend working with Tony and Ellie and Forno Bova!
We had Forno Bova cater our fall barn wedding. The pizza was amazing and our guests loved it. Very different and unique for a wedding! Guests definitely won’t forget it. My only co...
mplaint is that I wish the setup was a little better looking with pizza stands or something similar to that! Overall they did an excellent job!
Tony and Ellie were an absolute pleasure to work with and a great addition to our wedding! They were so flexible with all our changes due to restrictions. The food was great - our ...
guests raved about the antipasto and A+ woodfire pizza. Loved their take on a Hawaiian style pizza, highly suggest it! The staff were professional, COVID-safe and extremely pleasant. Would recommend for any event.
Forna Bova went above and beyond to make our daughter’s wedding a wonderful success! The food was absolutely delicious and they were an absolute joy to work with!
Thank you for bei...
ng so flexible while planning a wedding during a pandemic!
Forna Bova catered our wedding and we are so appreciative of their service! Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic presents quite a few challenges, but Forna Bova provided ...
high quality service made it as simple as possible. The food was amazing and just what we wanted. We had quite a few compliments from our guests who remarked on the delicious pizza. We also appreciated the staff's awareness of the current climate and willingness to be flexible with planning! Would highly recommend them for any catering needs!
When having to almost completely replan your wedding day a month away from the date, one can be a bit nervous about how things will turn out and whether you made the right choice. ...
With last minute contacting Forno Bova about coming to a small wedding a month away, this was one of the best changes we could have made. The staff was so flexible and understanding of the situation. They were willing to work with me to find something that would fit our wedding day. Let me tell you that this place delivered above and beyond what I could have dreamed. The food was absolutely amazing. Our wedding guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Everything was served neatly and promptly. The presentation was so appealing. We could not have asked for a better wedding day caterer.
Forno Bova catered our wedding at Historic Shady Lane. After postponing and dealing with many changes, we contacted them 15 days before our wedding to see if they were available. L...
uckily, they were! They were quick responders and always had an answer to my questions. The food was amazing, and so many people came up to us to say how amazing it was! Thank you Forno Bova!
When the restaurant we reserved for a rehearsal dinner backed out at the last minute we started calling around. On a whim, my wife called Forno Bova and everyone is glad she did. ...
We ended up with a poolside dinner with Pizza and the Works. Ellie took care of all our needs and we had the best rehearsal dinner ever. The roasted veggies and humus was worth the upgrade, I could have ate that all night, though I did save room for the Pizza, delicious. Would highly reccomend them for all your needs.
We have used Forno Bova at both of our children’s weddings. They are great to work with. We hired them, again after having them at our daughter’s wedding last year, for my son and ...
his wife’s wedding this past Saturday. It was a surprise and late night treat that the guests were absolutely thrilled with. Anyone that had their pizza loved it!
Their entire team was professional and courteous. A wonderful addition to a magical day.
These guys killed it!!!! Our guests are still telling us 2 weeks later how much they loved the pizza and want to know how and where they can get this pizza again ! I have been drea...
ming about their pizza ever since our wedding, it was sooo delicious!!!! Can't forget about the salad and the homemade salad dressing 😍 sooooo good!! They were so friendly and accommodating to our every need and request! So extremely happy with Forno Bova!!! If you want a non traditional catered wedding, definitely go with these guys! You will not regret it!!
Forno Bova provided pizzas and appetizers for my outdoor wedding this past weekend, and I couldn't be more impressed! Our guests raved about the pizza... with a few even remarking ...
that it was the "best wedding food they've ever had." Not to mention that Ellie & Tony are just great to work with. They made the whole experience a positive and stress-free one. They went above and beyond to make sure our guests (and my husband and I) were happy. They even brought a personal plate with 2 slices of each type of pizza we selected for us to our sweetheart table to make sure we got some hot pizza during the busy night. I really can't say enough good things about them.
I was highly disappointed in my services from Forno Bova. I would not recommend them for a wedding unless you want to be a stressed bride. First, their communication between each o...
ther seemed to be non-existent. I talked to 2 different people and would get 2 different answers, especially on pricing. When discussed on the phone it was one thing and on paper another. I had given them the proper paperwork 8 months in advance and discussed it with them on the phone. They didn’t submit their paperwork to the venue until 3 days before the wedding! My venue kept contacting me and I had to reach out multiple times just to have them finally submit it last minute! It was the most stressful part! The pizza was cold and lacked flavor. I was so excited to have a pizza buffet at my wedding but Forno Bova disappointment in every way.
We used Forno Bova at our wedding & it was a hit!! We talked it up months before our wedding and it did not disappoint! It is some of the best pizza I've ever had. We even have fri...
ends who are getting married and want to use them! Everyone always says that the bride and groom never eat on their wedding day, but we sat down and even ate seconds, because IT'S THAT GOOD! Highly recommend!
We used Forno Bova as our wedding caterer for 140ish guests. To put simply, they were AMAZING! Our wedding was 12 days ago and our guests are still talking about the pizza (we even...
have a guest who may have them cater a big picnic they have every year). The staff were so easy to work with leading up to the day and had great communication. At the wedding, the staff were super friendly and smiling. Thank you so much for being so great and making our day go smoothly. If you are on the fence about having wood fired pizza served at your wedding as I was, don't think anymore and book them. It was a great turn out and I wouldn't rather have had anything else!

s with a timely response. Even on the day of the wedding, they were answering my phone calls and dealing with last minute requests. The pizza was ready to be served at the scheduled time and was continuously coming out for guests to get more. The food tasted great and our guests raved about the entire service by Forno Bova. This was the perfect way to accomplish the laid-back summer wedding. I highly recommend!
Forno Bova catered our dinner with the help of another BBQ food truck at our Wedding. Even though I only had 1 piece, that slice was delicious! My only wish is that I could've had ...

Tony & Forno Bova catered our Rehearsal Dinner at Hauser Winery in Gettysburg. When looking for a caterer I struggled to find something healthy and simple. These guys were the answ...
er. We had a selection of appetizers, 4 types of pizza and salad. The pistachio pizza was a huge hit - as was the margaerita and the crostini appetizers. It was all good! Tony and his family were so easy to work with - very responsive in giving advice on choices, serving sizes, etc. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for good food, healthy alternatives, and a fun way to have your food cooked on premise. Your most difficult choice will be choosing from the menu!

My family and I used Forna Bova for two events in 2015. The first was for a Homecoming party for my son and 25 of his closest friends. All I had to provide was the soda and Tony ...
took care of the rest. It was such a hit that I called him again to bring his pizza truck for my husband's 50th birthday party. Once again, the service and the pizza was outstanding. Everyone got a kick out of ordering their own pizzas and then watching them cooked in the brick oven. Can't wait to have another reason to bring Forna Bova back!!
Such an awesome and unique meal at our wedding. Tony's wood fired oven pizza is delicious and he and his family were a pleasure to work with with. They were professional and accomm...
odating to all of our wishes. Definitely recommend for any event!
Forno Bova catered our wedding and it couldn't of gone any better. They're a family run business that get their ingredients locally. Tony was fast at responding to all of my questi...
ons and concerns through email. He was also very laid back which was great considering all of the stress of planning a wedding. They were punctual, great to work with and most importantly the food was delicious! I'm still hearing awesome reviews from our wedding guests about how great the food was and be sure that none of your guests will go home hungry! They allow you to pick from their specialty pizzas or create your own. They also have a great salad and wings! A big thank you to Tony and his family for making our special day perfect!
