A pizza van is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd at a wedding evening, a garden party or a work do: it brings its own oven (and often its own power and water), cooks in front of your guests and needs little more than a flat spot to park.
This guide lists ten pizza vans that cater private events in Surrey. Only three publish prices, so those come first; the rest quote for each event, and several of them park at the same Surrey spot every week, so you can try the pizza before you book. Prices and details are from each business's own website, read in October 2026. The photo shows the recreation ground at Chiddingfold, where Mamma Lourdes parks on Wednesday evenings.

How much pizza to order
Dough & Deer's rule of thumb: for an evening wedding where guests have already eaten, allow half to two-thirds of a pizza per person (about 60–70 pizzas for 100 evening guests). Where pizza is the main meal, allow two-thirds to a whole pizza each. Dough is made a day or two ahead, so vans can't make more on the night: order enough, and ask for leftovers to be boxed up.
Ask each van how many pizzas an hour it can cook. Dough & Deer quotes 70–80 an hour from one oven, and Monster Foods about 50 an hour, which it says suits events of up to around 120 people. A buffet, where slices go out on boards and guests help themselves, is faster than each guest ordering a whole pizza. Gluten-free bases are often available, but because everything is cooked in the same oven, most vans can't promise they are safe for coeliacs.
Vans that publish prices
Monster Foods
East Grinstead, West Sussex (serves Surrey and Sussex)
A caterer covering Surrey and Sussex whose pizza van makes Neapolitan-style dough 48 hours ahead and bakes it in a stone oven at your venue, with the chefs cooking outside the truck so guests can watch.
There are two set menus: a pizza buffet with a constant flow of slices for £14.50 a guest, or a 9-inch pizza each, cooked to order from six pizzas you choose, for £11.50 a guest. The van makes about 50 pizzas an hour, which it says suits events of up to around 120 people. Salads can be added. Not suitable for coeliacs.

Dough & Deer
Hampton, south-west London (serves Surrey)
Wood-fired pizza from a Land Rover Defender, with bases in Hampton, just over the Surrey border, and Upper Beeding in West Sussex. It travels up to an hour from either base and has catered private events of 10 to 600 guests.
Prices are minimum spends by number of pizzas (see the box). You choose four pizzas plus its garlic bread, and can give them your own names for a printed menu. The standard service is two hours; it arrives two hours before serving and needs a space of about 5m by 5m. A 20% deposit secures the date, with the balance and final numbers due two weeks before. If it rains, it can set up a buffet table indoors.

Questions to ask before you book
Ask what the price includes (staff, plates and napkins, travel), how long the service lasts, the minimum spend on your date, the deposit and cancellation terms, and how much space and what kind of ground the van needs. Check that your venue allows outside caterers and open-flame ovens. If the venue asks for paperwork, vans can usually send it: Dough & Deer, for example, sends its food hygiene documents, risk assessments and public liability insurance certificate.
For the rest of the day, see our guides to wedding caterers, mobile bars and wedding food vans. Just want a pizza tonight? See where to eat pizza in Surrey. For work events with sandwiches, buffets or hot food, see our guide to corporate and party caterers in Surrey.
Common questions
How much does it cost to hire a pizza van in Surrey?
Of the vans that publish prices, Monster Foods charges £11.50 a guest for a 9-inch pizza each or £14.50 a guest for a pizza buffet. Dough & Deer works on minimum spends: from £895 for 60 pizzas at a weekend lunch and from £1,295 (October–April) or £1,500 (May–September) for a weekend evening. No.3 Pizza lists event pizzas at £14–£15 each, with a minimum order.
How many pizzas do I need for 100 wedding guests?
Dough & Deer suggests half to two-thirds of a pizza per person for evening guests who have already eaten, so about 60–70 pizzas for 100 guests. If pizza is the main meal, allow two-thirds to a whole pizza each.
Is a pizza buffet or a pizza each better for a wedding?
A buffet is usually quicker: slices go out on boards and guests help themselves and try different flavours. Monster Foods charges £14.50 a guest for its buffet and £11.50 a guest for a 9-inch pizza each.
Can I try a pizza van before booking it?
Yes. Several Surrey vans have weekly spots: Mamma Lourdes in Chiddingfold, West Clandon and West Horsley, Sliced around Reigate, Dorking and Redhill, and No.3 Pizza and Rustic Bros in Weybridge, Hersham, Bisley and Shepperton. The Pizza Project has a café in Merstham and Monte Forte has restaurants in Reigate, Dorking and Farnham.
How much space does a pizza van need?
Dough & Deer needs about 5m by 5m for its Land Rover and gazebo, on reasonably flat ground; it is the width of a normal car, about 2.4m high, and brings its own power and water. Check the size and needs of the van you book.
Can pizza vans do gluten-free pizza for a wedding?
Many offer gluten-free bases, but Dough & Deer and Monster Foods both say they can't guarantee them safe for coeliacs, because everything is cooked in the same oven.
