About Crusta Woodfired
Crusta Woodfired is a mobile caterer working out of Byron Bay, cooking pizzas and other dishes in a traditional clay oven fired with regional hardwood, mostly ironbark. The team has spent more than 15 years in catering, and for over a decade most weekends have meant weddings around the Byron Shire, at places such as Bangalow Guesthouse and the area's community halls. The cooking draws on Italian, Mediterranean and wider European dishes, built on produce from local farmers and markets, with many herbs grown on the team's own small farm. Pizzas use a classic Napoli sauce and mozzarella on a base that is neither thick nor thin – think roast pumpkin with gorgonzola and pesto, portobello mushroom with caramelised onion, or prawn with roasted capsicum and chilli oil. Gluten-free and vegan choices are easy to arrange. Beyond pizza there are antipasti grazing tables, local oysters, canapés such as lemon myrtle prawn skewers and coconut ceviche, focaccia, shared salads and desserts including cakes from the team's pastry chef. Bar and wait staff can run drinks service, and house-made sugarcane or elderflower juices work as a welcome punch or mocktail. Weddings are the specialty, but the oven also turns up for backyard birthdays, housewarmings, 18ths through to 50ths, Christmas parties and office functions. Slices suit cocktail-style service, or pizzas and salads can be shared at the table for a seated meal. Send an enquiry with your date and guest numbers for a tailored quote.
