Basic Kneads provides wood-fired pizza catering throughout the Denver metro area and into Colorado’s mountain towns. Our approach is simple: everything we serve is prepared fresh, right at your event. We don’t cook in a remote kitchen and haul food across town—instead, our pizzas are fired on-site in our mobile wood ovens and served piping hot, with steam still rising from the bubbling cheese. Salads are tossed on location, so every bite is as fresh and flavorful as possible.

 

Our small fleet of mobile ovens includes both a truck and a trailer. While all our vehicles can park wherever a pickup truck fits, only our trailer makes the trip beyond the Front Range. We cater at both indoor and outdoor events and offer a selection of salads and appetizers alongside our pizzas. Even the most skeptical pizza lovers tend to leave impressed, and our team is known for being friendly, professional, and highly organized.

 

We cater a range of private events -including wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, welcome dinners, elopement celebrations, as well as, dinner parties and backyard celebrations.  Since these events are "sit-down dinners" and/or affairs where your group is gathered and will eat all at once, they share the same pricing.

 

Wedding and Private Event Service

​

When you book Basic Kneads for your event, you get one of the most reliable and professional two-person teams in the industry. We offer three service tiers to best fit your event needs:

 

Tier 1/The Basic includes Margherita, Pepperoni, and three specialty pizzas along with one of our salad options.

Tier 2/The Standard includes everything in Tier 1, plus two simple appetizers served during your cocktail hour.

Tier 3/The Supreme includes everything in Tier 1, plus charcuterie cups (pre-prepared, delicious cups that are easy to eat and filling for guests) during your cocktail hour.

 

Please note that we provide food service catering only, not full-service event staffing. For venues requiring full-service, we’re happy to provide staffing recommendations to bridge that gap, if permitted by your venue.

 

We think you’ll find Basic Kneads delivers exceptional value and a memorable experience. Our Basics/Tier 1 pricing begins at $32/person. Event minimums range from $1500-$3600. Minimums are based on many factors (how far in advance, day of the week, time of the year, distance we need to travel to serve, occasion, etc).
