How to Plan a Backyard Pizza Party in Apex, NC

How to Plan a Backyard Pizza Party in Apex, NC

There's something special about a backyard pizza party in Apex, NC — friends, fresh air, and pizza straight from the oven. Here's how to plan one that goes off without a hitch.

Check Your Space and Power

Mobile pizza catering needs a 10x10 ft flat area and two separate 110V outlets (on different circuits). We bring extension cords and handle all the connections. A patio, driveway, or level lawn all work.

Time It Right

We arrive 1-2 hours before your guests to set up and preheat. Plan the pizza service to start when most guests have arrived so everyone gets the freshest pie.

Build a Crowd-Pleasing Menu

Classic Pepperoni, Margherita, Hawaiian, and The Works cover every taste at an Apex backyard party. Add the fresh garden salad for a lighter option. Everything's buffet-style with unlimited refills.

Don't Forget the Details

We provide plates, napkins, and forks. You bring drinks, seating, and your playlist. Keep it simple — the pizza is the centerpiece.

Budget Up Front

Starting at $500 for up to 50 guests with no deposit. Travel beyond 20 miles from Clayton is just $1.50/mile, so most Apex backyard parties stay affordable.
