Frequently Asked Questions
-
We cater for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions, community events, sporting clubs and private celebrations.
-
Every Raffanini pizza begins with dough made from scratch using traditional fermentation methods. Unlike many mobile pizza operators, we do not use pre-made or par-baked bases. Each pizza is hand-stretched and fired in our imported Italian dome oven at your event.
Combined with Neapolitan techniques and a passion for quality ingredients, this creates a pizza experience that is as close as possible to what you would enjoy in Naples itself.
-
Yes.
Have a pizza in mind that's not on the menu? We'd love to hear about it. We're happy to discuss custom ingredients and flavour combinations and, where possible, create a pizza that's uniquely yours.
-
As a general guide, we recommend one pizza per guest when pizza is the primary food being served.
In most cases, this works perfectly, as some guests will eat less than a full pizza while others may come back for seconds. We can also help tailor quantities based on the type of event, guest preference and any additional food being served.
If in doubt, just ask—we're always happy to help plan the right amount of pizza for your event!

Raffanini's oven is imported from Italy and features a traditional refractory stone dome and cooking floor, the same style of oven used in authentic Neapolitan pizzerias.
Our oven is capable of operating on both wood and gas. For most events, we use gas to maintain the consistent high temperatures required for Neapolitan pizza while ensuring reliable and efficient service. Where appropriate, wood-fired cooking may also be used to enhance the traditional pizza making experience.
Combined with dough made from scratch, hand-stretched bases and traditional Neapolitan techniques, our oven produces the light, airy crust and characteristic leopard spotting that authentic Neapolitan pizza is renowned for.
