We’re an authentic family-run pizza business that will make your big day extra special with fresh pizza. We take great care whilst serving our original dough and pizza sauce recipes to provide the best pizza around. We specialise in 100% plant-based (vegan friendly) pizza with a range of dishes including more meaty, veggie, spicy and so on to cater for everyone (even the meat-lovers love our vegan meat-free alternatives).
We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for all our would-be brides and grooms. We offer a very personalised service, allowing you to customise the menu we offer. You can even name the pizzas if you like (we’ll take care of printing a new menu for display).
We serve our pizza creations from our beautiful 1960s rice horse box, affectionately named ‘Bessie’. She’s a big red pizza van on wheels, and can’t be missed! The chic, vintage feel of Bessie blends into all weddings, especially those in more bohemian settings like woodland or coastal weddings (unlike most boring catering vans).
Our pizza kitchen on wheels is affectionately known in our family as ‘Bessie’ and has been with us from the very beginning. We can arrive at most venues with ease, and are fully self-contained with our own water and power to set up almost anywhere.
Bessie was a renovation project which took us nearly four years to complete. Originally a Rice Trailer dating back to the early 1960s, Bessie has had a total refurb from the chassis up, with extended members of the Emanuel family helping with the project along the way.
Bessie it totally self-sufficient with her own generator and water supply, so we can go anywhere and give the world lovely fresh pizza. If your venue can’t supply power – No problem! If you’re venue will only allow vendors in a field/car parking area outdoors – No problem! We’re equipped to serve your guests pizza from pretty much anywhere.
If you follow us on socials (links on the website menu) you’ll find our upcoming events there. You’re more than welcome to reach out, and we can advise where we’ll be next and invite you along to try some pizza. We can be found at local food festivals, markets and more in and around South Wales, UK.
It’s best to check with your venue first before booking any vendors for your wedding, as some venues are strict on only using approved vendors. Some venues offer their own catering, and do not allow external caterers in any circumstances (although, luckily for us, not everyone is as mean).
The only potential additional costs would be travel costs if we were asked to attend somewhere over a 100mile radius of the M4 corridor (we cover from around Newport to Swansea all inclusive in the prices shown). If, your event was further afield, we would calculate the cost of travel on a return journey. If any over night stays were required, further costs may be incurred also, but all of this would be discussed well in advance so there’s no surprises and you can budget accordingly.
Yes. 100% plant-based always. Why? Well, because we believe you can have great tasting pizza, a more ethical stance on the unnecessary harm to animals and do your bit for the environment all at the same time. Our custom cheese blend of dairy-free cheeses and meat-free toppings work elegantly to please even the most avid meat-eaters. Also, FYI – With no meat or dairy on the premises (ever) there’s zero risk of contamination with these things, so we don’t have to worry about raw things contaminating cooked things. This is much safer for our customers, and much easier for us to manage.
Yes, always. No cardboard factory pizza bases here, or jars of something called ‘pizza sauce’ from somewhere you can’t pronounce the name of. We take pride in our 3-day cold fermented dough, which in addition to our homemade tomato sauce, produces a beautiful, rich pizza. We take pride in the whole process, and that way we can ensure the freshest, tastiest pizza around.
Unlike other pizza vendors (and we know, there’s loads) we treat vegan food as the priority, not the after-thought. Occasionally pizza places offer a vegan option, but when it comes down to it (in our experience) one or more of the following things happen (vegans are seen as the after-thought every time):
In contrast, Emanuel’s Pizza is vegan by design. All of our pizzas are carefully crafted with a perfect dairy-free cheese blend, homemade tomato sauce, and the best meat-free toppings on the market. We don’t settle for anything less. We source from a range of suppliers and taste-test everything we offer long before it hits our customers. No ‘sniff’ test needed. Oh, and if you’re human, you can eat our pizza. End of. So all your vegan, vegetarian and carnivore friends can all eat our pizza without having to have multiple suppliers.
We also do gluten-free versions of our pizza bases, available upon request.
