Southern Crust was the perfect choice for our wedding! The pizza is incredible and gives a fun, chill vibe with the highest quality taste. Not only is the food amazing, but the tru...
ck and set-up is so cute and fun. All of the staff were so helpful and kind throughout the process. We had several gluten-free and vegan guests, and Southern went above and beyond to take care of them and they were thrilled with their pizzas! I highly recommend Southern Crust and would eat their pizza weekly if I could.
For anyone planning a wedding of picky eaters, I'm telling you now, Southern Crust is the way to go. They had an incredible selection of appetizers, pizzas and drinks, everything w...
e needed from cocktail hour to dessert was taken care of!
We has booked Southern Crust for our wedding early in 2023 and everything went off without a hitch. However, when it was bought by Proof of Pudding, we started experiencing scheduling and communication issues. I don't hold anything against Proof of Pudding or Southern Crust as they were merging systems and had a lot going on, but there was a certain amount of "Staying on top of them" that we had to do that seemed excessive.
Despite all of that, we would absolutely book again!
I don’t typically leave reviews, but I wanted to make sure my feedback is heard for other brides and by the company. First: our guests loved the pizza and the aesthetic of the truc...
k - everything was delicious and the staff that were present were professional so I have no real complaints there at all! When we booked and did our tasting it was Jan. 2023, BEFORE they were bought out by Proof of the Pudding. After the company changed ownership, some things got lost for us. For example: we paid for (originally) 8 pizzas, 2 being cheese and pepperoni, and 2 being “bride and groom” pizzas - meaning whatever specific topping we wanted as a “signature” pizza, and the other 4 chosen off their menu. Proof of the pudding did not fully honor this contract we had already signed and we were shorted one pizza, and we were told multiple times we’d have a buffalo chicken pizza (my husband loved it at the tasting) and THREE days before the wedding we were told they wouldn’t be doing that due to supplier issues… they did let us substitute for one of their regular menu choices but we were still overall shorted one pizza that we paid for. There was also no signs or labels as to what the pizzas were on the buffet. We were also told we would get to-go boxes for us to take home as bride and groom. A few times we were told this, and confirmed this, yet when my coordinator saw them slowing down and asked for food to give us to take home, she was told “we don’t do to-go” so my husband and I (who were planning on eating most of our food afterwards due to those previous conversations) did not really get to eat what we paid for. Communication from Darlene (original point of contact) was great and she assured us we would have the things promised. We also paid $245 to have an extra staff member to help set up our tables and chairs per the venue request. My coordinator tried to contact them to let them know we would not need this service due to timing (not Southern Crust’s fault) but they did not set anything up, and we let them know ahead of their arrival time we would no longer be needing that extra service. They lost 1 star for those things above. The second star they lost from me is due to how it was handled after the wedding… we received an email asking for feedback — but this was sent to the wrong person. It was addressed to someone else regarding their sons rehearsal dinner. We never received any feedback email regarding our wedding. I responded letting Annie know that was the wrong email address but I did have feedback. I never got a response. I’m not asking for money back or anything like that, but it’s just bad business practice to not respond to negative feedback- even just for an apology. It’s been about 3 weeks now, and they’ve posted a photo from the reception of our wedding on social media, but cannot respond to the same customer who spent $10,000 on their catering services. I decided to leave this review so other brides can weigh pros and cons and have very clear contracts before paying for anything, especially for the cost.
They has us penciled in for our rehearsal dinner date while we were coordinating a time we could sample the food. Then they just gave that date to someone else. Thanks, definitely ...
won't recommend or use again.
We booked Southern Crust Catering for our wedding in Oct 2022. Darlene went above and beyond incorporating Filipino flavors, not just with our signature pizzas (chicken adobo pizza...
), but also with the sides (Filipino spaghetti) and appetizers (Filipino meatballs). From the tasting to the reception, they were responsive, professional and the food was delicious! Darlene helped us accommodate several food allergies and dietary needs. Our guests also loved the fact that it served from a pizza truck- something unique! The freshly roasted smores were just the cherry on top! We highly recommend Southern Crust Catering!
Southern Crust made our wedding special by providing a memorable food experience for our wedding guests including not only multiple cocktail hour appetizers, fresh salads, and even...
s'mores for dessert, but a wide variety of gourmet pizzas that we personally selected! Our guests loved our custom bride and groom's pizzas and appreciated the unique aspect of all items being delivered and prepared in Southern Crust's custom outfitted truck at our brewery venue!
Cannot possibly thank Darlene and the Southern Crust Catering team enough for their organized planning, kind team, and delicious service! Throughout the 11 months before our day, w...
e kept in close contact with Darlene to create a custom menu for our wedding. We had a few ideas we weren't sure would be possible but Darlene was on-top of it. She helped us craft menu items like rosemary-infused olive oil & fresh bread, pasta options, and worked within our budget. Day-of we knew we were in great hands -- their team was quick, the pizza was hot, s'mores were perfect, and our guests kept going back for seconds! Darlene even had a plate of our cocktail apps prepped for us while we were taking photos, and we definitely got to enjoy the delicious fire-grilled pizza! If you're looking for a talented team to make your event memorable, all while having some downright tasty dinner, Southern Crust Catering is the way to go!
Southern Crust is PHENOMENAL. We chose them to cater our wedding and would choose them again in a heartbeat!! My husband and I love pizza (we have pizza date night once a week). So...
when a family member first mentioned the idea of having pizza for our wedding dinner and showed us a picture of the vintage truck, we knew Southern Crust was it. Darlene was friendly, professional, organized, and always willing to answer any and all questions we had to ensure everything was perfect. We planned our wedding out-of-state, on a short timeline, and in the middle of a pandemic, but Darlene made everything so easy and enjoyable for us. She listens to exactly what you want and cares so much about her clients. Her hard work and the incredible crew at Southern Crust are what made our vision for our dream wedding dinner come to life. Southern Crust is so evidently passionate about local, fresh ingredients, and about creating a fun and unforgettable experience. From the crew tossing pizzas to the efficiency and speed at which they are wood-fired, the presentation is flawless. All of the food (from appetizers to s'mores) is delicious and their pizza is UNBELIEVABLE! Hands down the best pizza we have ever had. Darlene worked with us to create custom "Bride" and "Groom" pizzas, and having these custom pizzas ended up being one of our favorite parts!! We were even able to have pizzas served first to our guests with special dietary needs, which was something that meant so much to us. Our guests were blown away by Southern Crust, and we still receive comments about how amazing the food was at our wedding! We are so grateful for our experience with Southern Crust, and highly recommend them to any Bride and Groom!! Darlene & team, we cannot thank you enough!
Wow. Wow. Wow. So good. So efficient! Loved working with this company at the wedding I planned last night. Not to mention, the tasting was amazing and was catered just for my clien...
ts. I can’t wait to work many many more with them. With the set up they did it was like dinner and a show. Highly recommend!!!
When I say Southern Crust knocked it out of the park for our dinner rehearsal, they KNOCKED it out of the park. Not only is it the best pizza we've had since moving to Georgia, but...
our guests couldn't stop talking about how incredible the experience was. The truck, the staff, and the presentation were flawless. I wish Southern Crust could've stayed the whole night. Forever grateful for all the hard work and making our night one for the books. THANK YOU!
One of the best parts of our 10/3 wedding was without a doubt catering by Southern Crust! As many 2020 brides have experienced, we had to “pivot” and replan a whole wedding...in ab...
out 5 weeks. I was so thrilled when I contacted Darlene to see if they were available and they were! Working with Darlene & the Southern Crust team was seamless! Darlene was so warm & kind and helped us decide on our AMAZING menu! Southern Crust was affordable, delicious & professional! Our guests were thrilled with the food and ecstatic when they brought out the finale...s’mores!!!! We loved that they even wrapped up our custom bride & groom pizzas at the end of the night for us to take home! I would highly recommend Southern Crust to ANY bride or event planner! Thank you for everything, Darlene & team!
Southern Crust was the bet catering decision we could have made for our wedding!! The food was incredible. All my guest have been raving about it. The number of options we had was ...
so great. There were options for vegetarians and meat lovers. The staff was another thing to rave about. Their attention to detail, generosity and kindness definitely did not go unnoticed. Karen, who I was in touch with most made my experience as a bride SO easy. She asked all the questions and made sure to bring back up plates, cups, utensils, everything we would need. She went above and beyond and had a plan in case the weather didn’t cooperate. My husband and I are so happy with how our wedding day turned out and that is in large part thanks to all of our wonderful vendors. Southern Crust gets 10 stars from us. We are hoping to find another event in the future that we can have them be apart of also! Thank you to everyone at Southern Crust!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the help from the staff at Southern Crust Catering at my son's rehearsal dinner Friday night, December 13, 2019. The weather was not s...
o great, and all four of the catering staff members handled everything with professionalism, friendliness and kindness to every guest. My guests raved about the food and the unique concept of SCC, and I am so happy I chose your company for my son's rehearsal dinner. We were all singing your praises! Michael, David, and the ladies (I am so bad with names!) went over and above to make it a perfect night, and it was wonderful in every way!
As the mother-of-the-groom, I wanted to host a memorable and fun event that our guests would remember. Southern Crust covered every detail. They handled every facet of the dinner. The food is beyond compare. My guests couldn't stop talking about the delicious pizza, salad, and antipasto platter. They also set up a hot chocolate bar and roasted s'mores in their oven. It was the perfect, relaxing and memorable event I hoped for, and my son and his wife were so pleased.
Every person who works for SCC, from Karen in sales, Denise, the catering manager, and the catering staff, were beyond wonderful. Southern Crust Catering made the kick-off event for our wedding weekend perfect in every way!
We hired Southern Crust catering for a welcome party for about 75 of our out of town guests and family the night before our wedding and it was a huge success. We had tried their fo...
od before at work functions and were impressed. We were equally impressed how smooth everything went at our party and how easy the Southern Crust team made this for us with all we had going on. They took care of everything and didn’t miss a beat. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and very professional. We highly recommended them and hope we have another chance to work with them again in the near future.

We used Southern Crust for our wedding in September 2019. The entire staff was so helpful and easy to work with! The food was delicious and we loved that we were able to add our ow...
n personal touch with "Bride" and "Groom" pizzas. We were able to set up a tasting for our immediate family early on in the planning process. Karen and Darlene made the planning process so easy and were always available to answer questions and give advice. The staff was extremely personable and helpful from the first phone call to the end of our wedding. The event was seamless and everyone enjoyed all of the food. Southern Crust offered an inclusive package that included our appetizers, pizza, dessert, tea, water, lemonade, and all the flatware, plates, napkins, cups, etc for a reasonable price. The truck is beautiful and made a great back drop at our reception. The staff is friendly and made sure we had plenty of food to eat at the end of the night! I cannot express how happy we were with our choice and I highly recommend Southern Crust!
I used Southern Crust for my wedding in April of 2019, and buckle in because this is going to be a long and gushy review!
From the very first interaction with Karen in the sales te...
am, I knew I was in amazing hands. Karen was very personable and answered all my questions (which were a lot, since I had never used a food truck for an event before), she gave me real, heartfelt advice and wasn’t trying to “upsell” me into an expensive package with lots of add ons. She ended our first call by inviting me to an event the truck would be at over the weekend, so that I could try the product without having to book a full “tasting”. When I got to see the truck itself for the first time, I fell completely in love. It is a statement piece with a vintage/rustic vibe and adorable set up. It served as an amazing photo opportunity for my husband and me, since he had a background it "tossing pies" and my guests loved how it contributed to the ambiance of the wedding. The pizza is out of this world, and I still have guests commenting to me about how it is the best they have ever had (and we had guests from Chicago and New York!). Their unique combinations for their specialty pies, elevates what could be seen as a basic food into a culinary experience. The Pistachio Pesto pizza will leave a lasting memory on your taste buds!
My next Southern Crust interaction was with Darlene, and I worked closely with her through my wedding planning and up to the day of. I don’t think I will be able to fully express how amazing she is! Darlene is obviously passionate about her food and curating an experience for your event. With the wedding package you are able to custom make a “bride” and “groom” pizza, and she was so excited to bounce ideas of each other, run tests for the combinations, and suggest modifications. She sources all of her ingredients locally and literally days before your event, so everything feels very personal. She also went above and beyond in helping me execute a wedding cake idea that they did not charge me any additional fees for and took so much stress off my plate. Darlene was available to me via texts and phone calls, and would excitedly send me photos from their events where she had tried a new bruschetta or salad.
Finally, when it comes to the staff working the truck, you will not find a better crew. They are fun a dynamic team that obviously enjoy what they do. They are super helpful when it comes to explaining the ingredients of pizza’s to guests, accommodating special requests, and keeping a fun atmosphere going. They also are super efficient in the way they operate, from set up for the appetizers, cranking out pizzas for the entrée, transition to deserts (The s’mores are AMAZING), and then breaking down like pros.
All in all, it doesn’t matter what your event, book this company! They are a family shop and the personal touch shows, but they are going to explode in this industry and it is going to be tough to nail them down for a date 😊

We cannot wait to have them join us on our big day; we know our guests are going to love it as much as us! :)

ty of food that we were served at our tasting. Karen and Darlene were both great and so easy to communicate with. They addressed any and all of my concerns as quickly as possible. They were so flexible and really provided great suggestions and advice. I am so happy that we picked them for our caterers. Between the team, the food, and that awesome truck you cannot go wrong choosing southern crust!
