Authentic Flavor,
Crafted with Care
In Pasadena, 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.

TRUSTED ACROSS Southern California
Transparent Pricing,
No Surprises
In Southern California, it’s common for caterers to increase prices for weddings and events in affluent areas like San Marino, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach — 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 Pasadena wedding, a corporate event on the Westside, a private celebration in San Marino or need production catering services, 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.
Planning a Pasadena Event?
Despite our large fleet of wood-fired ovens and service vehicles, we often fully book weeks or even months in advance,
especially for peak seasons, weekends, and high-demand dates across Southern California.
