Here is how he sets up the pizza.
Monica F.

We used Big Willie's Pizza for two events--a 100-person work function and a 50-person graduation party--and both times they nailed it. The pizza is unbelievably fresh and absolutely delicious. You honestly can't stop eating it--it's that good! The Caesar and Greek salads were just as impressive: crisp, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the pizza. And don't even get me started on the cannolis--rich, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. Big Willie's setup is flawless--professional, efficient, and clearly experienced with large groups. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. If you're considering Big Willie's for an event or even just a meal, do it. You will not be disappointed!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Big Willie's Pizza to cater my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. From the moment we connected, Willie was an absolute pleasure to work with--professional, warm, and genuinely passionate about making our event special. The pizza was phenomenal--true New York-style with a perfectly crisp crust and rich, flavorful toppings, all cooked fresh onsite, which made the experience even more memorable. We also order ceaser salad and cabrese and cannolis, and they were a huge hit--light, creamy and full of chocolate chips and absolutely delicious. Every single guest raved about the food! Beyond the amazing food quality and service, his pricing was more than fair and even better knowing that proceeds go to charity. It's rare to find someone who delivers this level of care, quality, and heart. Thank you, Willie, for going above and beyond to make our night so special.

Sick of your tired old taco cart to cater your event? I was too! Big Willie's offers GOURMET pizza straight out of their wood fired ovens at your event. As if the pizzas, salads and homemade cannolis aren't enough, the service is top notch too. Hire Big Willies for your next event, you won't be disappointed!

We used Big Willie's this weekend for our daughter's engagement party. We had 80 people attend. Big Willies was the hit of the party! We didn't have to worry about anything. They came in and set up and cranked out tons of the most delicious pizza. Our guests raved and couldn't wait to get their cards to book for their next party. We even had a few people who were gluten free and vegan and no problem!!! They whipped up pies that were cauliflower crust and vegan cheese with no advanced notice. Pretty awesome. They were a joy to watch make the fresh pies during the party and a joy to work with. We loved them so much I think my daughter wants to book Big Willie's to cater her upcoming wedding as well! 10/10...don't sleep on this fun catering alternative that is sure to be a hit! So delish!!!

Great set-up!

Fantastic pizza, salad, cannolis and service!! Wow! Big Willie catered a recent event for our non-profit. Food was great. Made with skill and great care. Can't wait until I attend another event catered by Big Willie!

The crew

So we did hire Big Willie's for my birthday party last week and it was super successful. Everyone loved the pizzas and salad. The set-up that Willie and staff put together is as attractive as it can get. They accommodate to just about any space. The crew was personable and kind. Having a choice of 6 different pizzas makes it oh so easy. And there was more than enough food for our 65 guests. Don't hesitate. Get Bill Willie to your next event.

Willie and his crew just catered my rehearsal dinner! I cannot express enough on how awesome Willie and his team were, and on top of that their pizza is some of the best we have ever had! It's evident that Willie loves what he does and pours love and quality into every part of it. All of our guests ADORED them, and several of them had too many slices to count! After the catering was done, Willie gave us all the left over pizza so not a single went to waste! Cannot recommend Big Willie's Pizza enough!

Leticia A.

The food was amazing!! The pizzas and salads were awesome, all my guests were raving about the food. The service is top notch I am so happy I hired them for my party and will definitely have them come again. Let's not forget the cannolis, they are delicious.

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Amazing experience with Chef Diego, who came early to set up and cater our small dinner party…read more Planning the menu was very easy and Flavor Chef folks were super responsive. We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

The food was beautifully presented, incredibly delicious, and honestly one of the highlights of our wedding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful and special. This wasn't just wedding food. This was **EPIC**. Chef Andy handled everything from start to finish, which meant my husband and I had one less major thing to worry about on a day when there were about a thousand moving parts. That alone was priceless. He and his team were professional, organized, gracious and simply incredible. I've been to a lot of events over the years, and I always remember the food, especially when it's really good. Kalei's is one I will remember for a very long time. When your guests are still talking about the food days later, you know you chose the right caterer. Thank you, Chef Andy and Khara and the entire Kalei's Kitchenette team, for helping make our wedding so memorable. You didn't just feed our guests. You WOWED them.

But what put our experience over the top was the superior customer service. Just wonderful to work with! Highly recommend.

I hate to do this, as I understand what a bad review can do for a small business.. but after seeing…read morethe other reviewer who stated that JP backed out of their wedding (who, I'm not affiliated with in any way), I think my experienced needs to be shared, as I hope this will help other couples. I gave JP (owner) an incredible amount of grace throughout the process and yet, he still managed to screw us. It was not a single issue, but a failure on multiple levels. THE SHORT VERSION: 1) he was very unprofessional overall in his communication. 2) he backed out of bar service a few days before our wedding and ghosted us after the wedding without a refund, 3) without exaggeration, some of the food at the wedding was inedible THE LONGER VERSION: The tasting went amazing. Ashley (who no longer works there) was extremely communicative. They asked for 50% as a deposit (which is pretty high) but the food was really good so we accepted. However, the tasting was the only good thing about our experience... 1. He was unreachable for months leading up to our wedding. The company phone number was either not taking calls, or went straight to voicemail. No response to emails. He finally got back to me about one month before our wedding (we thought we got scammed at that point). I gave him the benefit of the doubt despite all of this 2. He backed out of providing bar services a week before the wedding. I knew something was off when he wouldn't provide us with an shopping lists for our cocktails, despite following up. A few days before our wedding, our coordinator told us that his bartenders did not have proper certification and without one, could not serve alcohol (note: this was merely an RBS certification... EVERY OTHER bar service that we spoke with met this requirement). I specifically asked at contract signing if they were certified. Also, JP did not inform us that he was dropping out. I had to text him myself for confirmation, as I was unsure if he was going to hire other bartenders, if they would obtain the certificate, or if he was dropping out. Only then did he tell me he would not provide bar service. Again, this was 7 days before the wedding. He also took 3 more days to clarify exactly what service he would no longer be providing, when we obviously needed to know asap as we were scrambling to secure another bar service Even though this certification is the minimum requirement for many venues, he tried to pass the blame onto the venue, stating that he never encountered this requirement before (how is this possible? As a wedding caterer, he should have been familiar with these requirement, whether or not he met them). Huge red flag. Despite this, I didn't make this an issue 3. He promised to refund us for the bar service but ghosted us after the wedding. I disputed the charge and he finally responded, threatening to sue. 4. He was unreachable on the morning of the wedding. Again, poor communication.. 5. The food failed to meet even our lowest standards. The 50% deposit really had our hands tied and we couldn't back out despite the red flags. As long as he showed up and served food that was remotely close to our tasting, we'd be happy. However, he totally skimped out on the quality and quantity. For example, our passed appetizers were smoked salmon bagels. I'm not sure if he used old bagels or what, but the bagels were stale and rock hard. My friend tried to bite down on one and immediately spit it out. My aunt had to warn guests not to eat them. He swapped out some of the items that we paid for with inferior options (ie: we paid for a fig and honey roll... he just added a basic dinner roll). Guests told us they were confused that our menu did not match the food. Some guests got half a dinner roll (meaning they didn't have enough) The main entrées did not match the quality or size of the original dish we were promised at the tasting. I understand that preparing a meal for 2 people is not the same as 100 people, and there is inherently a drop in quality on the wedding day. However, this was completely different. Many guests attested that the salmon entree was inedible as it was incredibly dry and overcooked. Look at the photo of the tri-tip I uploaded and the difference between what we were promised and what we received We asked for leftovers to be packed but never received them. All in all, I was super understanding and even allocated 15% as tip for his team despite his poor communication. Despite this, the fact that he never gave us a refund for the bar service is appalling.

We chose Culinary Kitchen for our recent wedding in Julian, CA this past June and my husband and I…read moreare incredibly thankful that we got to work with Ashley and JP for our big day! Food and catering service were some of our highest priorities to get right during our wedding and Culinary Kitchen was phenomenal every step of the way. Our communication with Ashley and and JP before, during, and after the wedding was exceptional. From the very beginning, Ashley was very responsive and regularly checked in with us, which helped me feel less overwhelmed by all the catering decisions we needed to make. I tend to err on being extremely detail oriented and I asked tons of questions early on. Ashley was so patient and thorough with each email I had sent over even before booking. Before choosing our caterer, we did 3 different wedding caterer tastings and Culinary Kitchen easily was the best of all three (we're still thinking about the gochujang meatballs and the cavatappi pasta with fennel sausage!!). On our wedding day, the food service ran seamlessly and our guests often commented on how good the food was (guests were actually trying to sneak chicken tenders off the kids plates because even the kids meals were so good). Their team also helped us serve our desserts, did our bartending, and rented/placed all of our table settings, all at very reasonable prices as part of the entire catering package. The team also went above and beyond to accommodate all of our guests' special dietary needs while still helping us stay within budget and recommending a cohesive menu. One last thing - we did A LOT of research on different San Diego caterers before our wedding (I think we sent out inquiries to at least 10 other caterers) and Culinary Kitchen's catering packages felt the most "upscale" and comprehensive without leaving us feeling nickel and dimed for every line item. I truly felt like their team was on our side the whole way. THANK YOU Culinary Kitchen for catering our wedding day!! We wish you guys the best of success!
