Big Green Truck Pizza

New Haven, CT
  • Starts at $1,300

Welcome to Big Green Truck Pizza! For more than 20 years, we have delighted customers all over Connecticut with delicious pizza served in an attractive, fun atmosphere. Our specially outfitted trucks are genuine antiques equipped with wood-fired brick ovens, tables, and all the ingredients needed to bring a buffet of New Haven pizza to your backyard. We pride ourselves on the quality, variety, and convenience of our pizza, and specialize in bringing a fun, professional atmosphere to every occasion.

We had an incredible experience with Big Green Truck Pizza at our Wedding Welcome Event! Renting their pizza truck was one of the best decisions we made. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The team from Big Green Truck Pizza was professional, friendly, and exceptionally accommodating. They arrived on time and set up efficiently, bringing their signature charm and enthusiasm that immediately engaged our guests. The smell of their delicious pizzas filled the air, setting the perfect tone for a fun and relaxed event. The variety of pizzas they offered was fantastic, with something to please every palate. Each slice was made with high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection—crispy crusts, flavorful toppings, and mouthwatering cheese. The salad and gelato included made it a no brainer for us! We were looking forward to espresso and cappuccino but I don’t think they brought it to our event. But no one noticed because our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the food was! They even brought gluten free crusts and made them dairy free for my MIL. The unique experience of having a pizza truck added a fun, interactive element to our event that everyone enjoyed. Big Green Truck Pizza truly elevated our welcome event, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. A huge thank you to the team for helping us kick off our wedding weekend celebrations!

Hayley was an absolutely pleasure to work with. She is the kindest and sweetest person who genuinely cares about her clients. We rebooked our wedding several times due to Covid and Shmayleys was the last vendor we added on and I’m am so happy we did. She made my love of milkshakes a reality and even made them boozy. My guests are still talking about her ice cream truck months after our wedding. We couldn’t recommend booking Shmayleys for your event.

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves New Haven, CT

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila. A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning! Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America. One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel. Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff. One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers. Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.

Emily's Catering was an extraordinary part of our wedding day at South Farms in Morris, CT. Rick and his team handled everything wonderfully; They were organized, prompt, responsive, enthusiastic, creative, and VERY well-priced. Because we decided not to hire a planner, it was crucial that we retain vendors who could operate self-sufficiently, and Emily's truly went above and beyond in every respect. They even accommodated serving my husband's home-brew, including making wood signs for us as a surprise. My husband and I still talk about how much we loved and appreciated them, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking the perfect caterer for their wedding.

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc 

5.0

  • Serves New Haven, CT for additional fees

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

We hired Sunflowers for our daughter's back yard wedding on Sept 12, 2020. Once Chef Laura and her crew arrived (hours before the event), they took over and I knew I was in good hands. Chef Laura was a pleasure to work with and also provided excellent guidance during the planning stages. The appetizers, passed during cocktail hour, looked and tasted great. All of the food during the buffet dinner was also excellent. The bar was well stocked with everything we needed for our crowd, which enjoys their cocktails. The crew were professional and responsive and kept everything clean during the party. Because of their hard work, I was able to enjoy the day! I will definitely call on Sunflowers for future events and would recommend them highly.
