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 a great time working with the folks at Big Green Truck Pizza for our June 2025 wedding! We had about 90 guests with a variety of dietary needs, and the BGT team was very accommodating and helpful. It was very hot that day, but the team was so kind and understanding. Pizza was delicious, salad was fresh, and the gelato was such a treat (I particularly loved the blood orange one). Sad that Next Door (their brick & mortar restaurant) is closed, but so happy that people can still enjoy their lovely food. Thank you, BGT! Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura

We wish we could give SKBT 1000 stars! This company, the owner Karen, and her staff are ABSOULTELY incredible! For our small outdoor wedding, I am still very concerned about COVID and her staff was so considerate to keep their masks on the entire time (both inside and outside in the heat). The staff was so incredibly kind and attentive. They made me feel SO special on my day, bringing me extra appetizers and sneaking me an extra spoonful of their delicious chocolate mousse! They were so incredibly professional and offered to help with tasks that were not even in their job description (like loading up drink coolers and putting out desserts we had purchased). They truly went above and beyond! It is clear Karen is close with her staff, because they all have such a positive demeanor that was contagious and really kept things upbeat! And the food- INCREDIBLE! I am so picky when it comes to food and my husband has food allergies. We needed everything to be gluten free, and SKBT was so attentive and considerate of these restrictions. The flavor and presentation of the food was AMAZING! My husband and I ended up eating our own meal and splitting one (I am obsessed with Karen's cauliflower steak!) I was SO full from the night because everything from the appetizers, to the meal, to the desserts was impeccable. Really the most delicious food I've ever had! The night of our wedding and most of the next day, 90% of the conversation with my husband and our family was about SKBT and how incredibly delicious their food was and their amazing service. We plan on ordering from SKBT for any function we have in the future, as well as on our anniversary every year (and dinners in between!) We are sad that our wedding is over, but are SO looking forward to using SKBT again in the future. Karen is truly a gem- she is INCREDIBLY talented, is so kind, and it is clear she dedicates her all to SKBT. We are so thankful to have had this catering company for our wedding- they truly made the day that much more special and the day would not have been the same without them! Thank you Karen and your amazing staff, you really made our wedding a day we will never forget! :)

Old World Pizza Truck 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Branford, CT

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.

Chef Ellen and her team did an outstanding job executing our office party for 125 guests. We had a fall themed menu (including Apple Pie Fried Ravioli & Grilled Mushroom w/ Sausage Gorgonzola Mascarpone! YUM!) and Chef Ellen made it extra special by dressing the room with fall florals, chalkboard signs & wooden boxes for elevation.

We used Shmayley's on 2 different occasions. First in August for my daughter's wedding! Smayley's was the bar for the wedding, the owner Hayley was Hands-On helping both prior to the wedding and, of course on the big day! She created two signature drinks (that were marvelous) that my daughter absolutely loved! Let me just say she made my daughter's day one she will never forget! In October we celebrated an anniversary in which we again hired Smayley's services for the bar, rolled ice cream and her wonderful photo booth options. Let me add, this young entrepreneur has made all both events that we hosted unforgettable. Both with her professionalism and her willingness to work hard she will be at every event we host in the future!

The Crafted Cook

  • Serves Branford, CT

I’ve gained passion for crafting up a sharp cheese board and catching some sunshine! I grew up in a family where food was plentiful, the focal point of any gathering or celebration and knowing you would never leave hungry. My passion for food and the culture behind it began when I was 6, working in my family’s deli, and that’s when I learned why food was a necessity to a gathering, celebration or corporate event (no matter the guest count). Customers faces gleamed when they knew eggplant parm was a special, or could walk in and smell a fresh pot of sauce was being made. It's now my passion for my clients to be gleaming too.

We hired Kate for our corporate event and everything was seamless and delicious. The presentation was absolutely stunning — you can tell that every platter and grazing detail is made with care and creativity. The sandwiches and salads were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully arranged, and the charcuterie spread was truly the highlight of our event. Our higher up administrative team couldn’t stop raving about the quality and attention to detail. Communication was easy, delivery was on time, and everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re hosting any gathering — big or small — The Crafted Cook is the way to go. Highly recommend!
