Exceptional Catering for Santa Monica Events

Santa Monica hosts some of Southern California’s most memorable celebrations, and we’re honored to cater events throughout the area with warm hospitality, skilled execution, and unforgettable food.

From private dinners to large-scale celebrations, we deliver a premium experience that feels effortless, thoughtful, and beautifully executed.

Areas we Frequently serve include:

Serving Santa Monica and the Westside

We regularly cater events throughout Santa Monica—North of Montana, Wilshire-Montana, Downtown Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Sunset Park, Pico District, Mid-City, and the surrounding Westside, including Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Venice, Marina del Rey, and neighboring coastal communities.

We’ve catered hundreds of private events throughout these neighborhoods — from intimate dinners to estate weddings — earning the trust of planners, studios, and discerning households.

Menus, pricing, and availability are published online — making planning effortless and transparent, so you can focus on hosting, not logistics.

Authentic Flavor,
Crafted with Care

In Santa Monica and across the West Side and Los Angeles, 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.

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, some caterers adjust their pricing based on the event type, neighborhood, or perceived budget.

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 waterfront wedding in Malibu, a corporate event in Santa Monica, or a private celebration in Venice, 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 West Side 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.
