Authentic Flavor, Crafted with Care
In Long Beach, exceptional food is expected — and we’re proud to deliver a culinary experience that feels as refined as the events we serve. At Olive Wood Pizza, authenticity isn’t a tagline — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
We cook exclusively with olive wood, producing a clean, fragrant heat that reaches over 900ºF and creates the crisp, airy, blistered crust that has become our signature. Every detail is intentional, from ingredient sourcing to the moment each pizza is served hot from the oven.

Ingredients from trusted Southern California producers
From elevated Margheritas to specialty creations, every pie is crafted with precision — designed to delight guests who appreciate quality, care, and unforgettable flavor.
Transparent Pricing, No Surprises
In Southern California, it’s common for caterers to increase prices for weddings and events in affluent areas like The Peninsula, Naples Island, Seal Beach, and Los Alamitos — not because the costs change, but because the market expects a premium.
We take a different approach.
Our pricing is consistent, published online, and based on real inputs — culinary craftsmanship, staffing, logistics, and service — not your neighborhood or event type.
Whether you’re planning a Long Beach wedding, a corporate event in Seal Beach or a private celebration in Belmont Shore, you’ll see the same pricing, clearly presented from the start.
No wedding markups.
No neighborhood surcharges.
No surprises.
Just honest, elevated hospitality — delivered with integrity.
Exceptional hospitality starts with honesty, transparency, and respect for our guests — wherever they’re celebrating.

Trusted, Loved, Local and Proven
From Long Beach, Since 2011
Olive Wood Pizza began in Long Beach in 2011, serving wood-fired pizza at local farmers’ markets — refining our craft in front of real guests, week after week. That hands-on start shaped everything we do today: how we cook, how we serve, and how we show up for our clients.
As demand grew, so did the scope of our work. What started as small neighborhood events quickly expanded into full-scale catering for weddings, corporate gatherings, studios, and private celebrations across Southern California. Today, Olive Wood Pizza is a catering-only company, trusted to execute hundreds of events each year with consistency, professionalism, and care.
In 2026, we’re on pace to serve over 700 events and a million guests — all supported by a large fleet of wood-fired ovens, experienced hospitality teams, and the same commitment to quality that defined our earliest days.
Olive Wood Pizza is proudly owned and operated by Scott and Kim Kleckner, Long Beach residents and small business owners who continue to call the city home. Our roots here run deep — not just in where we started, but in how we operate, hire, and grow.
What began in Long Beach now serves Southern California’s most discerning hosts — and it all starts the same way it always has: with live fire, great ingredients, and genuine hospitality.
