Pizza Van Hire Kent

Pizza Federicci is a mobile pizza caterer serving Kent, London and the Home Counties, delicious wood-fired pizzas from their custom built pizza van.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

A few years ago, we had a pizza oven installed in our garden. One evening, while enjoying pizza and a glass of wine with friends, someone suggested that if Fede ever got made redundant from his job in the City, we could always start a pizza business. At the time we could never have imagined it, but two years later...well the rest, as they say, is history!

Could you tell us a little bit about the team?

Fede was born in Rome but has been living in the UK for over 20 years, working in the City for most of that time. Julia worked in retail for 18 years, so neither of us had any background in catering, but we discovered we had lots of other transferable skills to bring to our new business. We are lucky enough to have a team of lovely people who work for us on a part time and casual basis. They get a free pizza after every shift which seems to be as much of an incentive as their wages!

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend to others?

We catered for our first Add to Event clients at their wedding last summer, as well as attending a charity event in the autumn and various other private events throughout this year. We would definitely recommend Add to Event to other caterers as it really is one of the easiest routes we’ve discovered for accessing new clients. In addition, if we get requests via our website that we are unable to fulfil, we always recommend the client posts on Add to Event and hope that one of the other suppliers is able to help them.
