Apizza Catering

Apizza Catering offers a mobile catering service featuring its "Ape Pizza" units, specializing in weddings, parties, and private events. Operating throughout Sicily, the company uses distinctive mobile ovens mounted on vintage Piaggio Ape vehicles to prepare fresh pizzas and local specialties right on-site. This concept revolutionizes traditional banqueting by bringing the flexibility, authenticity, and conviviality of high-quality pizza to major events. Unlike traditional catering services, Apizza Catering stands out for its interactive show-cooking experience; a team of true professionals delivers live demonstrations that go beyond pizza and street food to include appetizers, pasta dishes, and grilled specialties—all prepared live. This transforms the service into a genuine culinary spectacle, establishing Apizza Catering as a recognized example of Italian excellence.

At the helm is Marcello Spingola, a renowned professional master pizzaiolo and "Starred Pizza Chef" from Bagheria, Sicily. He is celebrated for blending his family's ancient tradition—inherited from his father Nicola, founder of the historic "La Ruota" pizzeria (established in 1983)—with a modern, gourmet, and mobile dining format. As the founder of "Apizza Catering" he created an innovative service utilizing vintage Piaggio Ape vehicles equipped with mobile ovens and unique, exclusive carts designed for private events and high-end ceremonies across Sicily.

King of Sfincione

He is considered a master of the Bagheria-style *sfincione* (a thick-crust Sicilian pizza) reimagined for contemporary tastes—a version known as "Sfincione 2.0" He has successfully showcased this specialty at national events such as the Sanremo Festival, where he was awarded the prestigious "Pizza d'Oro" prize.

Guinness World Record

He was part of a select team of one hundred pizza makers from around the world that, in July 2026, set a world record by baking and donating over 12,000 pizzas in just 12 hours in Sant'Antonio Abate during a major charity event.

The "Tunna Cunzata" Pizza

Their latest creation is the "Tunna Cunzata" pizza, unveiled at the Porticello Fest during a masterful live cooking demonstration that was a huge hit with both journalists and the public. This pizza encapsulates the flavors of both land and sea, serving as a true tribute to the Sicilian region.

Apizza Catering: Mobile Excellence

Using their unique and original carts, they provide catering services across Sicily for weddings, parties, and private events of all kinds—birthdays, baptisms, communions, graduations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and more.

The business has established itself as a recognized example of "Italian Excellence" for its service quality and is part of the "Slow Food" network. Every detail of the catering is meticulously managed, from preparation to the actual cooking of the pizza right before the guests' eyes. It is a true live cooking show that adds a dramatic, original flair to any celebration, making the company a leader in the sector.

Exclusive Menus

The service offers more than just pizza; it provides a wide range of exclusive, original, and versatile solutions and menus for lunches, dinners, and brunches. Events gain unique character through themed "Show Cooking" stations dedicated to appetizers, fried foods, pasta courses, main courses (meat or fish grilled over open flames), gelato, pastries, a bar, and a selection of wines and spirits.

Services for Weddings

"Apizza Catering" also offers refreshment services for weddings. A wedding begins well before the ceremony at the altar and continues long after the cake is cut; there are moments that deserve the same level of care, beauty, and warmth, delivered through diverse yet complementary service options and setups. The staff takes care of every moment, starting with welcoming the first guests with refreshments outdoors after the ceremony. Each occasion becomes an experience to be enjoyed with ease, care, and a special atmosphere, extending the excitement of the celebration and turning simplicity into an indelible memory.
