“Professional and Delicious
Bruce, Grace, and all of the on-site staff chefs and serving crew were absolute professionals through the entire process. From initial calls and menu planning, to wedding day prep, execution, and cleanup, they went above and beyond in providing their catering services.
Grace was always in touch and available to answer any questions or concerns, and the company’s experience showed in their knowledge and recommendations regarding menu, service style, guest count, etc. They hosted us for a tasting months before, and prepared us all that they could that was in season and available.
Pricing breakdown was upfront, with no surprises. Day of execution for our 110 guests was fabulous, and on the schedule we had worked out. Somehow the food tasted even better than it did at the initial tasting! Roasted veggies were cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. Chicken and salmon were delectable. And the pizzas, of course were creative and sublime! We received a ton of compliments from family and friends, and we got exactly what we wanted- a simple, yet flavorful family-style meal that catered to vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. Cleanup was fast and professional, and they left the venue with no complaints.
If you’re looking for a professional, communicative, and talented catering crew for your wedding, we highly recommend the team at Victoria’s.”

“Delicious Pizza – the best wedding food around!
People doubted our wedding food choice, but walked away with the best taste in their mouths! The quality of ingredients and unique pizza topping combinations made this a highlight of our day! Bruce and Grace were great and super helpful through the whole experience! I wish more people had pizza weddings and I can’t wait to stop by their little shop for more pizza soon!”

“Thank you so much! We loved working with you guys. You were so organized and kind and professional and it made the food part of the wedding so pleasant and enjoyable to plan. It’s also so wonderful and touching to see how much you invest in and care about your pizza. It really shines through in the product. Everyone loved the pizza (and thought it was super fun!) Our friend David, who is maybe the pickiest/most critical eater I know, said it was the best food he has ever eaten at a wedding. Take good care.”

Bruce, Grace and the team at VWFP were great to wonderful to work with. From our initial tasting with them where the team was so gracious to host us at their restaurant, to all the back and forths to figure out the menu and specifics to finally executing on our wedding day. Our guests commented on how great the food and service was. To top if off, many of our guests raved that it was the best pizza they’ve ever had! Hats off to providing incredible food and for being such a special part of our day. Thank you again team!

”I highly recommend Victoria’s Wood Fired for wedding catering! Since pizza is both of our favorite food, it seemed like a no-brainer to have it at our wedding, but our expectations were beyond exceeded by the Victoria’s team! Our guests thought it was very cool that we had the wood-fired oven right there on the property and were even more thrilled with how delicious everything was. The pizzas were perfectly crispy, and all of the ingredients were very fresh and great quality. We decided on a buffet setup for the reception, and good lord the food was AMAZING. They really knocked it out of the park with absolutely everything they served. Guests were raving all night about how awesome the food was, and many noted that it didn’t taste like “wedding food”, since it was all so beyond good. They even worked with us to make sure we had a vegan option for the pizza, entree options, etc. which my few vegan family members were so excited about (and honestly everyone devoured anyway- shout out to whoever got tofu to taste that good)! Food aside, the staff were all incredible. Bruce, Grace, and the entire Victoria’s team were not only professional and friendly, but really helped make the day go super smoothly and ensured that everyone had a great time. They were all really on top of their game, and made sure all of the details fell into place perfectly. Would hire again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU Victoria’s Wood Fired team!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Bruce, Grace, and the whole Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza & Catering crew! They are absolutely phenomenal and are absolute professionals! When my husband and I first started planning our wedding we knew wanted something a little less traditional, and more of what we thought an epic celebration should include – awesome, delicious food that everyone enjoys eating! After searching far and wide, we found Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza & Catering! After some initial emails regarding options, availability, and ballpark costs, Bruce and Grace invited us to their storefront to try out the food. Within the first couple of bites we were hooked! Their food is so flavorful, tasty, high quality, and there are so, so many options. It was so hard to choose our final menu.
Bruce and Grace were quick to hop on the phone and talk through any concerns I had, they were always responding quickly to my emails and working on revised quotes. They are experts at what they do and they do it well. The day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch! At least from what myself and the guests could see. If anything went wrong, they improvised and handled it like true professionals. The cocktail hour was out of control insanely good – the cheese, the vegetables, incredible. The dinner was also a hit! We had pizza, vegetables, salads, and some other sides. I had so many guests coming up to me saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had and they were so happy we chose to go with something we wanted, though a bit less traditional, because it’s really what people enjoy!
I highly recommend Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza & Catering for weddings of any kind! And please invite me so I can FULLY enjoy all the food as a guest instead of running around as a bride!!!!!! Though, we did take home many pizzas to enjoy that night! 
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU BRUCE, GRACE + CREW! YOU MADE OUR WEDDING BETTER THAN WE DREAMED OF!

Hi Bruce and Grace,
David and I want to thank you for making the party spectacular! The food and your staff was exceptional, and I heard from many people that they loved the food! The gelato for dessert was a big hit as well! We really appreciate all the attention to detail, particularly around the timing and service. The food was plentiful and delicious. We are very glad that we had the extra server, David , who was so sweet and helpful.”
Thanks again. - Leslie & David – Oct 2018

“Dear Bruce and Grace,
What a wonderful experience you gave us. I can’t tell you how many comments we had on the great quality of the food. We have been eating yummy leftovers all week (for breakfast, lunch and dinner). The salads went fast and the pizza, gelato, meats and fruit are almost gone.
We also were impressed with the kind and professional way you treated and spoke to not only the guests, but each other. The attitude of each and every person you brought to our home was exceptional. We will be singing your praises for a long time. We may even make the hour drive to Bethel a tradition when we are in CT.
Thank you,”

“Firstly, Brian and I want to thank you for an amazing pizza truck party experience on Sunday!!! Chef Scott, Matt, and Justin (I think I remembered their names!) were outstanding. So sweet and professional. The pizza was some of the BEST I’ve ever tasted, ever! Wow! Our guests kept coming up to me and raving about all the food…thanks to you and your awesome crew. Bravo!!!”
Thank you so much!
Blessings of health and continued success!

“Bruce, Grace – It was an absolute pleasure working with you! The party was FABULOUS (even with the rain) and everyone is still raving about the food (and enjoying leftovers). You made our daughter’s First Birthday even more magical! We look forward to working with you again in the future.
All the best,

SO many people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!
We loved everything! We’re going to need to come visit soon to get our fix of the fruit & cheese pizza!”

“Hi Grace/Bruce,
I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful services at our wedding. Our guests were blown away once they got some of the pizzas. Thank you so much for accommodating every single one of my requests, I saw how hard the whole team was working. And I am so happy you guys were able to set up and cater our big day. Thank you again for working so hard in the heat and making sure our guests were fed. We had great reviews and can’t wait to share the pictures with you!”
Thank you, Melinda – Jul 2018
“Bruce & Grace were awesome! We hired Victoria’s as our caterer for our wedding at the Catskills Mountain House. Bruce is an extremely humble and accomplished culinary chef. Ask him about his past experience! He has a clear love for people and a passion for food. The two came together perfectly for our wedding, not to mention the pizza is some of the best I have ever had. Our guests raved about the pizza! I hope we stay connected with Bruce & Grace. Genuinely great people with a fantastic business concept.”

“Our guests were thrilled that you were back this Derby party and provided the delicious pizza they look forward to every year! Probably one of the main reasons everyone wants to come to this party! You create a remarkable celebration of good ingredients! Warm brownies were a huge hit! Look forward to next year!”
Mary and Peter – May 2018
“We truly appreciate what an outstanding job you guys did! Our guests raved about the amazing food! Specifically the pizzas and the amazing steak and sauce! I was actually able to taste almost everything at dinner thanks to a chef saving myself and Kevin a plate ….I was overwhelmingly surprised at just how amazing it all turned out! ”
Dayna – March 2018
“We had a great turn out for a cold January night and all my friends were amazed of the quality of pizzas you cooked. It was a big hit and you are the talk of our neighborhood. My marine son Scott love your buffalo chicken pizza. Very glad to have found you. We certainly will use you again. PS Bruce and your staff were very professional and personable.”
Sincerely, Michael and Leanora – Jan 2018
Bruce, Grace, and the whole Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza team were incredible. We hired Bruce for our New Year’s Eve wedding. Bruce was flexible and offered his recommendations based on the size and feel we wanted to achieve with our wedding. The pizza is to die for. Bruce knows this, but my Father’s side of the family is Italian and my uncle traveled from Italy for the wedding. He could not stop raving about how delicious the pizza was! If you’re looking for catering that is memorable and flexible, look no further. The buffet set up was beautiful and everyone complemented the food. Bruce also allowed us to keep some of his equipment and return to him later since we had a cheese board setup late into the night, which was around the time he was leaving. Also, he was more than gracious with allowing us to come up to the shop in Bethel (from Brooklyn) to taste the different pizzas. Everything was fabulous and we cannot recommend him more highly. Thanks, Bruce & the Victoria’s Team!!
Stephanie – Dec 2017 – WeddingWire
“The thank you goes to you guys! You definitely exceeded our expectations. We usually ether cater or cook ourselves for parties – this was our first attempt at a food truck and it was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was perfect. I kept getting caught up socializing with guests, so I actually never saw the truck in full effect, but I ate the results and it was awesome. A lot of people asked who you were, so hopefully we can get you some more parties. Your food and service was honestly the best advertisement. We will definitely be contacting you again for future events!”
Thanks again, Erin – Oct 2017
“When we started planning our wedding, our number one “need” was to find a great caterer. After talking with countless options, we started to lose hope that we would ever find what we were looking for…then we found Victoria’s. A little back story: we both went vegan over a year ago, and we decided early on that we wanted to share that with our guests on our big day. We figured of all days, our wedding was the one day where we shouldn’t be the ones eating the side dishes while everyone else ate the main course! That left us with a big problem: how the heck do we serve vegan food to 85 guests who are far from vegan, and still have everyone raving about our wedding food? Answer: Victorias! The amazing thing is Victoria’s isn’t a “vegan” caterer, their options for catering go far beyond pizza. Bruce has such an extensive background in food that he didn’t even hesitate when we asked what our options would be if we wanted a vegan wedding. After our first phone call we both knew we found what we had been looking for. Both Bruce and Grace were so helpful and quick to respond to any questions or ideas we had. In the end they helped us to created an amazing cocktail and dinner, from the bruschetta to the custom pizzas, everything was just perfect. The food was INCREDIBLE, and the presentation was so beautiful and elegant. We had A LOT of skeptics between family and friends when they found out the menu was going to be vegan. Not kidding…our guests were coming up to us and APOLOGIZING throughout the night because they couldn’t believe how delicious the food was! It’s been almost a month since our wedding and we are still hearing friends and family say “oh my god your food was the best wedding food we’ve ever had!” Seriously, whatever you are dreaming of for your wedding menu, call Victoria’s. We can’t thank them enough for making our food dreams come true!”
Christa – Sep 2017 – Weddingwire
“Bruce and the team at Victoria’s are amazing. I am still blown away by the service, food and professionalism. I am so grateful to them for making our wedding memorable. All of our guests are STILL talking about the truck. I highly recommend hiring them for any event. My husband and I plan to stop by sometime because we just love them and their pizza. Thanks so much!”
Samantha – Sep 2017 – Weddingwire
“Victoria’s catered our welcome dinner deep in the Catskill mountains, and went above and beyond to provide DELICIOUS pizza that accommodated the various dietary restrictions of our family (celiac, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc). Each pie was made fresh and served immediately, though few pies actually reached the buffet table as our guests eagerly sought out server bringing each fresh pie. Bruce and Grace were amazing to work with – we highly recommend them for any catered event that they’re willing to drive to!”
Alyra – Jul 2017 – Weddingwire
“We had Bruce and Grace cater our wedding at the end of July and it was divine! Here are a few of the reasons why we wholeheartedly recommend them!
1) They were able to travel the 3+ hours to Roxbury, NY to serve our welcome dinner.
2) Right from the beginning they were super acommodating of our guests allergies and dietary needs and they’ve setup their menu to make it easy for themselves and for us! As someone with a gluten allergy, I greatly appreciate anyone who offers a gluten-free crust, but then above and beyond that, they cooked all of our crusts in a completely clean oven so there was no cross contamination.
3) They have the tastiest gluten-free crust I’ve tried.
4) Everyone raved about the pizzas all night long and for days afterwards. They were sooooooo tasty! Had something for everyone.
5) They also have salads, drinks and gelato as part of the package, not just pizza
Thank you again for making our wedding so delicious and memorable!”
Ravi – Jul 2017 – Yelp
“Bruce & the Victoria’s Wood Fired crew were amazing at our wedding! We’ve gotten nothing but compliments from our guests on the pizzas (of course), as well as the cocktail hour carving station and brownie desserts. They absolutely hit the nail on the head for making something fun and joyful feel upscale at the same time. This was no surprise at the wedding, because Bruce invited us to his place in Connecticut before we finalized our contract and made several pizzas for us to try. We were blown away, and it was easy to go into the wedding confident that our guests would be too.”
Jennifer – Jun 2017 – Weddingwire
“Joel and I wanted to thank you so so much for being such a special part of our wedding day! All of our guests raved (including us) about the pizzas and the buffet food, and were thrilled to enjoy such sumptuous fare! We were honored to have you as our caterer and appreciate all of your help, patience, flexibility and knowledge along the way. We hope we can make a trip to Connecticut and enjoy more of your food!”

You were a delight to work with and I really appreciated the way you communicated with me as the party date approached.”

“We hired Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza to host our wedding in the Hudson Valley. Bruce was so flexible with us and had several different options to make our day unique to our style. His food is amazing and fun. Everyone at our wedding was raving about the food. The pizzas are outstanding and their gluten free pizza is the best that I have ever had. They have a variety of different catering options to suit your special day. I highly recommend Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza!”

Amanda – Sep 2016
“My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner catered by Victoria’s. We wanted to do something a little different than a typical sit-down at a restaurant so we investigated food trucks in the Hudson Valley. When we came across Victoria’s, we were thrilled that Bruce would be willing to come all the way to Highland, NY. My mother-in-law hosted the event on her property and it was perfect. The salads and appetizers were DELICIOUS. Guests were blown away by the heirloom tomato platter with every color of the rainbow. The pizza choices are amazing and I still can’t decide which my favorite was. The absolute best part is that it just kept coming! There was enough food for guests to take home with them! And every kid at the party was invited onto the truck to make their own pie – they loved it. What a thoughtful and special touch.
Not only was Bruce and his staff a pleasure to work with, but he was fair, honest and helpful every step of the way. It was a dream come true to have our friends and family under a tent on a cool October evening with candles, heat lamps, wine flowing, and delicious food. I actually look forward to having Victoria’s cater for us again in the future – it would be perfect for everything from a kid’s birthday party to a wedding!”
Lauren – Sep 2016 – Yelp
“Thank You Bruce, for a wonderful and magical and DELICIOUS evening! Everyone raved about the food and the service and wanted to know where to find you all in the future. It was the perfect meal to kick off an amazing weekend, so thank you again.”

“Bruce, I just wanted to thank you, Chris and Jason for doing a fantastic job!! The day could not have gone any better. We had to kick out everyone at 9:30 after all the pizza was finished. Again, thank you for a wonderful day and feel free to use us as a reference any time.”
Paul – Jul 2016
“We had Victoria’s cater our welcome dinner in Catskill, NY and it was a flawless event. We were able to enjoy every minute of the party knowing we had the incredible staff from Victoria’s taking care of everything. The staff was accommodating, professional, and delivered some AMAZING food. From the delicious salad and appetizers to the incredible pizza (absolutely one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had–and I live in Brooklyn!), everything was perfect and a ton of fun. Everyone loved the wood-fired oven on the property and the gelato desserts were the perfect way to top it off. Bruce was great during the planning process and we created a great menu for our guests. Everyone was going on and on about how great the food was and everyone wanted to take some home with them!!! Victoria’s is fantastic–thanks for a great event!!”
Megan – Jun 2016

Thank you for awesome pizza! My husband’s party was a great success due to Scott and his crew. It was a pleasure working with you. Happy Father’s Day!”
Kathy – Jun 2016
“The first time I called Victoria’s Pizza to inquire about booking them for my wedding, the owner Bruce spoke to me on the phone for 45 minutes explaining various options in a totally casual and non pressurized manner. I felt comfortable with him from the get go. Throughout the entire planning process Bruce kept in contact as needed to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted come our wedding day. Victoria’s Pizza exceeded our expectations. The pizza was delicious and received rave reviews from our guests. The clam pizza was phenomenal, I could eat that every day! Towards the conclusion of the wedding Bruce even offered to help us cut our wedding cake which was a truly classy gesture. Kellie and I are thrilled with the service provided, and you would be well served using Victoria’s Pizza for your event.”
Brian – Oct 2015
“Bruce and his team at Victoria’s catered my wedding and they could not have been more professional and easy to work with. Bruce was very comfortable working directly with me (as opposed to working with a wedding coordinator) and he was very straightforward about what would and wouldn’t work. His enthusiasm and energy, especially on the day of, were priceless. Victoria’s made our appetizers, dinner, dessert and even gluten and vegan cheese pizzas for those with special dietary needs. Everyone loved the food, especially the pepperoni pizza and the gelato. Bruce and his team also welcomed us into the pizza truck for some photos. I can’t recommend Victoria’s highly enough. These are people I would love to work with again and again.”
LTR – Oct 2015 – Yelp Review
“Absolutely the BEST !!! I cannot say enough about how fantastic /delicious the pizza, salad, and roasted vegetables were. The iced tea, lemonade, and gelato were just the right accompaniments. All who joined us on this special day raved about how good your food was. You better be on the look out for “party crashers” by any of us who may spot your rig somewhere. : ) Thanks so much Bruce (and your crew too) for making the food on our day truly unique and perfect !
Anyone looking for a hassle free day with the best food imaginable just contact Bruce Lyons at Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza and Catering. You will be glad you did.”
Ann – Sep 2015
“Our son was married in September 2015 and we had Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza cater the rehearsal dinner at Stoneover Farm. Being from southern CT, I could not find a pizza truck in our area to accommodate us, but alas online I found Victoria’s and never regretted a moment since first contacting them.
I can’t say enough good things about Bruce and his crew. Bruce was so easy to work with, always prompt and staying on top of things before hand. The day of the party, the truck pulled up and they went right to work. The set up was fantastic and professional. Bruce and his crew were helpful, not intrusive but polite and welcoming. And did I say the pizza was fabulous?? All the food was wonderful!!! . I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again. They made a very special time for us just perfect!!!”
Mary – Sep 2015 – Facebook
“In New York City, you can spend THOUSANDS of dollars to cater a wedding. My husband and I set out to defy the odds, and get great food at a much more reasonable price. …AND WE DID!!! Just one state over in Connecticut! Bruce Lyon gave up hours of his time one evening, to talk me through his menu top to bottom. Him and his lovely wife Grace then welcomed us into their home, and cooked us the most delicious pizza dinners we’ve ever had. We were sold immediately. At the wedding, all of our guests were RAVING about the food. We were concerned that people may judge us for having a pizza dinner at our wedding, but not a single person thought it was anything less than perfect. We were able to “fancy” it up in the cocktail hour by serving filet mignon, and chicken skewers (along with a variety of veggie and antipasto platters). But people are STILL talking about the main event, those pies. SOOOOOOO yummy!!! Bruce was beyond accommodating of all dietary needs, and everyone left completely satisfied. I can’t recommend them enough! The personal attention, impeccable service, and of course…that delicious, delicious food.”
Karen – July 2015
“Looking for something new that will wow your guests? Tired of the sit down chicken, beef, fish entree? Our recent experience with Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza catering was beyond our expectations! Bruce and his staff were exceptional from the planning phase right though the presentation the day of the wedding! The compliments from our guests were constant and I only wish that this venue was local! Thanks to the staff for making my daughters wedding one to remember and to be talked about!”
Kathy – May 2015
“Dear Bruce,
Thank you so much for a fabulous job on Saturday! Many of the people who attended Lily’s party were at my party in the fall and were so excited to have your pizza again! I can’t tell you how many emails and texts I got telling me what a fabulous time everyone had. The kids really got a kick out of being able to make their own pizzas. That was such a treat for them!
Thanks so much for making Lily’s party such a special event!”

It was an absolute joy and pleasure to work with you for our special day. We are so grateful for you.

Much love and continued success to you and your family.

“Victoria’s Pizza was the highlight of our wedding welcome dinner. We heard many guests say it was the best pizza they had ever had – and our vegan and gluten-free friends were thrilled with the options available to them (including, but not limited to, the excellent salad and antipasti!). Bruce was wonderful to work with from start to finish – reasonable, warm and so friendly. From the fresh, local ingredients to the delicious handmade dough to the special menu printouts and – lest we forget – the individual GELATO cups for dessert – Bruce’s staff took care of us and our guests and were the perfect dinner experience for our late summer, barn/country outdoor atmosphere. The best down-home upscale pizza party we could have asked for!”
Katie Z. – Nov 2014 – Yelp Review
“I had Victoria’s at my wedding this past August and can not say enough wonderful things about them! I started planning with Bruce while I was living overseas and he completely put me at ease and made me feel so confident in choosing them as the caterer. Most pizza trucks are only that, but Victoria’s does a great job catering the event. As an all DIY wedding, they helped so much with handling the details of the day. (We set up appetizers and then they maintained them and cleared them, they bussed tables, kept the multiple wine stations clean and stocked and pouring when available, put out amazing food on time, even cut our Allie’s donut 3 tiered cake while putting out their delicious gelato and some extra desserts I had pre-made, and set out our coffee station.)
Leading up to the wedding, the weather was precarious, and as a bride planning everything, I was on the verge of a bridal meltdown in coordinating in the case of rain. I spoke to Bruce the day before and he ensured me that they would make that call and everything would be fine. Come the day of the wedding, it was cold and kind of raining, but it was no problem. They set up tents outside and it worked out beautifully.
On top of the amazing food and excellent catering services, they were extremely friendly and brought a great energy to the day. We had many guests saying how good the food was and how much they enjoyed chatting with the staff. The best man said Bruce even shared his dough recipe which he unfortunately promptly forgot!
If you’re looking for a great caterer for your event, I highly recommend Victoria’s!”
Caileigh A. – Oct 2014 – Yelp Review
“My fiance and I were determined to have a pizza truck at our wedding. We were married in a rural barn and other trucks either wouldn’t come up that far, or were charging ridiculous fees (one quoted in the price of a flatbed to cart the pizza truck!) but after much searching, we found Bruce who was like Manna from Heaven! He was quick to respond to all of our emails and we felt like he was genuinely excited about our wedding which kept us at ease during the whole planning stages. Victoria’s was based out of CT, and unfortunately we didn’t even get a chance to try any of the pizza before the big day, but based on the menu we were pretty confident that it would at least be decent. We were wrong. It was INCREDIBLE. The day of went without a hitch. Bruce had already scoped out our site and had a seamless setup. When the pizza came out, you could see everyone sniffing the air and turning their heads and everyone mobilized to the table immediately. Being the bride, I got two slices right away and they were HEAVEN. The whole time I was jumping around saying hi to everyone, almost everyone mentioned how amazing the pizza and food was! I didn’t even get to try the salad and gelato, but almost two months later I am still hearing all the positive feedback. Bruce and his staff were incredible beyond words and we can’t wait to throw another party and have them back! “

“Hi Bruce!
We hope you and your family are well. I was looking over my emails and cannot believe that I hadn’t sent you a thank you note for the wonderful food you provided for our welcome dinner. Our guests are still talking about the pizza! From the start, it was such a pleasure to plan with you, and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to meet and work with you. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!
Yamin and I always talk about taking a drive up to the farmers market in Connecticut to enjoy your pizza and say hello, if only we could find the time. One day!
Yamin’s family hosts an annual party up at the same barn either the first or second weekend of August. We’ve been talking about how awesome it would be to have your pizza truck there again for this year’s party, and will reach out to you about it as the date approaches. Our guests would love it, once again
We are totally fine with appearing in your video. Your wife did a great job!
Best of luck to you on all the future has in store. We will be in touch!”

“We had Victoria’s cater our wedding a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with the food and the service. Guests are still talking about how good the pizza was.
We decided to do a sort of “greatest hits from around the city” theme and Bruce was great at accommodating our requests. He even sourced some local ingredients and since our party was so small he was able to let our guests make requests, which people thought was pretty fantastic (we only had 45 guests, so I’m not sure that would be possible with a larger party).
The tables they set up looked great, even the iced tea and lemonade dispensers were adorable.
All in all we couldn’t have had a better experience.”

“Victoria’s catered our HS reunion this weekend and did a great job. They produced a nice variety of pizzas for us, everything from a clam pizza to a classic margarita so there was something for every taste. I love the extra flavor you get from a wood fired pizza and this pizza did not disappoint. They were efficient and kept the pizzas coming out. This is a really fun option for a party because seriously who doesn’t like pizza? To be able to have them freshly prepared at your event hot out of a wood burning oven vs being delivered in a pile of cardboard boxes is great.”

“Dear Bruce - The pre wedding pizza party was a huge success! The pizzas were wonderful, every single one of them including pizzas I never dreamed of like nutella and strawberry. The grilled veggies were just right. Carnivores and vegans were all delighted. The quantity and timing was perfect. Great way to start off the wedding.”

“I’ve been meaning to write to you for months to thank you and your team for wonderful service and great food at our wedding this summer. Our friends and family are still talking about how delicious and relaxed the food was. It was just what we wanted. The only thing that I regret is that I was so busy by the time I went to go introduce myself and thank you in person, you were gone!
Thanks again for being so easy to work with and making great pizza!”
Kristina & Kara – 2014
“Hey Bruce – Thanks for being so awesome! The crowd at my wife’s surprise birthday party couldn’t stop talking about the pizza. And, more than a few vowed that they would be calling you for their events! The pizza was fabulous. The crew was fabulous. and the gelato, don’t even get me started. Fabulous all around.”
Mr. Brown – Apr 2014
“Thank you so much for a great party. All day I have been receiving accolades of how great the pizza was!! My husband was totally surprised and his favorite pizzas were all there for him. It was such a pleasure working with you and I wish you a very happy holiday season. Thanks again for a memorable feast.“

“Our party was AMAZING! Thank you, thank you, thank you. The pizza and everything else was beyond what I had expected. Everyone has been emailing and texting and thanking us. We may have to make this an annual party!”

“Who says you can’t have an elegant backyard wedding and serve pizza? We hired Bruce to provide us with a memorable and delicious dinner for our daughter’s backyard wedding and they didn’t disappoint. The wide variety of delicious pizzas made from locally sourced ingredients surprised even the serious “foodies” in our group. Personalized service & presentation truly exceeded all our expectations.”
Janice Gallick, (mother of the bride)
“The food is fantastic: fresh, interesting and so tasty! Bruce and Grace are wonderful people to work with and went way beyond in making sure everything went smoothly and beautifully. I’d recommend them to any of my friends and family.”
Bea Farley
“I want to thank you for such a wonderful wedding party. Bruce, you and your crew were absolutely fantastic and needless to say the pizza a HUGE hit. Bruce’s early arrival was invaluable and she was so INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. I could not have pulled this wedding off without her, without you and your wonderful food. Thanks so much! I think everyone considering a block party, backyard event or any kind of celebration should do it the Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza way.”

“Bruce and his staff from Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza made our open house event the place to be!
Serving up tasty, mouthwatering pizza selections to our grateful guests, Bruce and his great team
worked through the “iffy” weather with a super attitude, providing piping hot pizza, salad, drinks and gelato!
Our guests raved about how tasty everything was and how professional the Victoria’s staff performed!”
Thanks again! -Paul Lombardo Lombardo Motorcars
“Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza Truck was a big success at our celebration. The handmade pizzas were delicious and we really enjoyed the variety of fun toppings. The dessert pizzas in particular were a huge hit with our guests.”

“Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza catered our daughter’s 4th birthday party in December, and FAR exceeded our expectations. First of all, with 20 kids under the age of 7 running around our house, we couldn’t handle much on the attending-to-our-guests front… thankfully, we didn’t have to! Bruce and his staff did an unbelievable job, with no supervision from my husband or me. We were not bothered with ANY aspect of the setup, serving or cleanup. It really was a dream. The pizzas came out in rapid succession, and wow, were they delicious! All our guests (age 4 to 64) raved about how good the food was. And, perhaps the best example of Victoria’s competence…one little girl proceeded to dump an incredible amount of sundae topping onto our floor, and Bruce was on that mess like white-on-rice! I didn’t know anything about it until hours later when my friend told me the story!”

Phyllis Boughton, First Lady of Danbury
“Thank you so much for everything Saturday night. The food was out of this world…the pizzas were awesome and people couldn’t stop talking about the idea and how great it all was….I saw people attacking the poor server on her way to the buffet table. You guys really made the night rock. Hope very much that we can work together again soon. What you do – you do damn well!”

“Victoria’s Wood Fired Pizza was an excellent addition to the Connecticut Garlic & Harvest Festival in 2011. Our patrons really enjoyed having a fresh made-to-order pizza place on site at the event. Being able to watch the pizzas being made and baked right in the wood fired oven added to the fun!”
David Harkness, Director, Connecticut Harvest and Garlic Festival
“I recently had the pleasure of sampling a variety of Victoria’s wood fired pizzas. Each one of them was a delightful blend of fresh ingredients, sauces and spices. Try Victoria’s delicious concoctions and it will spoil you when it comes to having pizza anywhere else. It’s a true gourmet experience that is guaranteed to be a big hit with you and your guest.”
