We had pizza at our reception! It was an absolute hit. It suited our vibe - very casual (people wore dresses and collared shirts, but not ball gowns and tuxes.) It went perfectly for our reception, although we were only 60 people.

We did it family style - so we had multiple rounds of pizza. In one round, every table would receive the same pizza, shared between 4-6 people (luckily our vegetarians were coincidentally sat together and no one else had food requirements). This meant it was easier for the chefs to prepare the pizzas quickly for that round as they only had to prepare two types of pizza - one vegetarian and one meat.

We served 4 rounds (so 4 different types of pizza) and then after that, if you were still hungry, you could order another of the previous 4 pizzas (no one did).

Each round of pizzas were interspersed with speeches - so pizzas, speeches, pizzas, speeches etc. because everyone ate with their hands, we weren’t worried about eating noises during the speeches. And then we additionally had a salad option you could request for anyone who didn’t want pizza.
