21 Best Caterers near Wallingford

“Bourassa came to the rescue to cater our wedding at the Wadsworth Atheneum after a bad experience with our first caterer. Working with them was a dream. All communication was prompt and straightforward from our first interaction to the day of our wedding. They even sent us a thank you card after we selected them as our caterer, which was a nice, personal touch! They were flexible and willing to work with us to customize the menu and the food was incredible (definitely get the mac and cheese appetizer)! Everyone from our event coordinator, Nikki, to the chefs, owner, and the event staff were so professional and delightful to work with. They were so attentive and detail-oriented on the day of; someone even followed us around with a plate of apps during cocktail hour to ensure we had a chance to eat! We can't thank them enough. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!“

“Tonight we celebrated the engagement of my son and his fiancée. Sixty friends and family gathered to laugh, share stories, tell jokes, and of course—eat like royalty. Seeing as it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, what better way to celebrate than with something green… Big Green Truck Pizza, to be exact. Irish meets Italian—just like the happy couple we toasted. They rolled up in their vintage green International Harvester, custom-fitted with a wood-fired brick oven. Within an hour, they were cranking out perfectly charred, New Haven-style pizzas like a well-oiled machine. They started simple with a plain mootz. Then came pepperoni. Next up: sausage and broccoli rabe. And then the creativity kicked in—meatball and ricotta, artichoke hearts and goat cheese, buffalo chicken—you name it, they made it. Shrimp Fra Diavolo? Yup. That happened. Each pie was carefully crafted by Josh and masterfully handled by Bryan, the oven whisperer. He knew exactly where each pie was in the oven, when to rotate it, when to raise it up to char the top—like a parent watching their kids at the beach. He knew when it was time to pull ’em out and move on. Josh handled the dough like a pro—perfect shape, just the right amount of sauce, cheese distributed with precision. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The sauce? Bright and seasoned just right to let the tomatoes shine. The cheese? Grande mozzarella—velvety, melty, and pull-worthy. No one left hungry. I, however, may have overindulged. I felt like Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (IYKYK). Thankfully, there were no wafer-thin mints in sight. The night ended with espresso and gelato—the perfect finish to a perfect evening. If you’re looking for a killer pizza truck for your next party, I highly recommend Big Green Truck Pizza. Just make sure you bring your appetite… and stretchy pants.“

“The best pizza truck around! Our entire experience from the office booking the truck to the crew making and serving pizza was a pleasure. Rick is a rockstar. Amazing communication. He was professional and on point. He timed everything out perfectly. Donnie was a master on the oven and professional as well. The servers Lily and Tyler were also fantastic and very friendly. Thank you very much for having a part in making this a special day for us!“

“Yes it is a gorgeous venue and a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos, but it's much more! It is community and caring. When there was a major catastrophe at an unscrupulous venue, the staff at Aqua Turf not only came through and allowed us to book ( 9 days out!!!) they tended to every detail. The bride was not only relieved of the stress but overjoyed by their generosity! This was a small wedding(smaller than they typically host) but they understood our crazy situation and came through on EVERY level. Definitely book your wedding or other event here. Best people ever!!“

“Just ate there and tried the Classic Baked Potatoe and Angry Steak and Cheese! That joint was blazing!!!“

“The food was delicious and not overly seasoned which was nice. Waiters were attentive and polite. Decor and facilities were beautifully decorated.“

“Their roast beef is amazing. Defiantly recommend a roast beef, American cheese, lettuce, mayo sandwich.“

“Had a wonderful corned beef dinner on St. Patrick's Day! With cabbage, potatoes, carrots, Irish soda bread and a cute green frosted cupcake for dessert. Can't beat it! Delish!“

“I first saw Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies at a craft show at the High Plains Community Center. I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“We worked with Karen and her amazing team including her talented head chef Tess for our wedding in Summer 2024, and I literally could not recommend them more highly. We had a complex multi-cultural wedding and we wanted to do something special for our food, so floated the idea of Korean-style rice bowls with delicious mains and tons of vegetables and sauces to Karen. To our delight, she was super energized by the idea and SKBT did everything they possibly could to ensure that our food was absolutely phenomenal and unique, down to the tiniest of details. They also made their own vegan kimchi, which my Korean family complimented highly. Over and over again we heard from our guests how the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and one dear friend said, “this isn’t wedding food, this is HUMAN food” which is exactly what we wanted. Karen and SKBT are competent, creative, detail-oriented, and heartful professionals and we were so excited to work with them to give our loved ones the best meal we could with our budget. Thank you Karen and team!“

“An absolutely fantastic spot in the heart of the East Rock area. This gem offers a diverse array of freshly prepared dishes, including chicken, crab cakes, soups, beans, vegetable quesadillas, coffee, bakery items, and more. The indoor seating area has a charming setup, creating a cozy atmosphere. Most of the food is made in-house, ensuring quality and freshness. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. It's perfect for morning breakfast, a quick lunch, or an early dinner, and they also serve beer and wine. Prices are reasonable, making it a great value for the quality offered. Highly recommended!“

“Popcentric recently came to a back to school event we had. The kids and adults all loved the popsicles! It was a great alternative treat to have.“

“Absolutely delicious! We had a turkey Ruben & corn beef Ruben! Best we have ever had!“

“had a 75th bday party on Sunday and had it catered. fabulous job! everyone raved how good it was, I loved the hot box and the fact that it kept everything nice and hot until ready to serve. Definitely will be using raggazinos again next time im hosting a gathering.“

“3.50 for bacon amd egg sandwich. Always crispy bacon. Rolls are soft. Their chicken cutlet is one of the best ive ever had. Not too bready. Cooked to perfection. Just perfect. The same owners have run this for years. They just know how to do it right.“

“The food was great BUT.... when the man arrived with the food it was expected that my party guests and I unload the truck AND set up the catering trays! When booking the event no one informed that I would to need to provide my own help to get the food set up - I hired a caterer so I didn’t have to do that. It was quite disappointing to realize a bunch of my guests were lugging heavy catering dishes from the truck and trying to find a tool to open and light the sternos! Had I know I would have hired someone to be there to do it instead of making my guests do it. Once the food was set up it was good. The veggie chili was delicious and everyone raved about the BBQ ribs and chicken. I would forego the green beans and lemonade/ice tea. Those things just weren’t worth it. Overall I would recommend them with a caveat that you must know that for the price you’re not guaranteed a full catering setup. Disappointed.“

“My family and I were there yesterday celebrating a 21st birthday party. Delicious varieties of pizza and baked ziti was an added surprise. Staff was courteous and friendly. Jim was knocking everything out of the park. Everyone enjoyed their time. Thanks for everything“

“Lauren created two cakes for us, one for my birthday and one for my daughters birthday. She was so easy to work with, responded quickly, and provided an PDF receipt. Her cakes look beautiful and also taste great. Highly recommend! We will be ordering from Lauren for all of our future birthdays!“

“I recommend everything! My first time there and my experience was out of this world! Incredible food amazing atmosphere and very friendly service. I wasn’t sure what I wanted so they recommended something based on what I told them I liked and they were correct about it! I highly recommend this might be the only sushi place I will go to from now on!! Thank you for such a great experience!“
