About Ciao Bella Catering
Ciao Bella Catering brings a custom red food truck and an Italian pizza oven to your event in Townsville. The business is run by Luca, a pizza chef born in Italy, and his partner Ayda, a chef trained in Mediterranean cooking, and on the street it trades at Rowes Bay and the Strand Night Markets. For private parties, birthdays, weddings and corporate functions, the team arrives about an hour before service, sets up the truck and cooks pizzas to order while guests eat. Every package is all you can eat across 13 pizza choices plus a dessert pizza, for a standard 2.5 hours of service. Higher packages add gourmet pizzas such as truffle, buffalo mozzarella and four cheese, or Italian extras like lasagna, ravioli, arancini, a caprese platter, an antipasto board of cured meats and cheeses, or tiramisu. Dough is made fresh each day and the menu marks several vegetarian pizzas and starters. Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins are supplied, leftover pizza can be packed up for guests to take home, and a JBL PartyBox speaker can come along for music at no charge. The truck needs a space about 5 metres long and 2.5 metres wide and can run outdoors, or indoors where there is ventilation. The oven cooks three pizzas at once. Catering covers events within 35 km of the Rowes Bay base, with a travel fee beyond that, and service can be extended past 2.5 hours for an extra charge.

Great pizza, excellent ingredients and very tasty, authentic Italian style. Great view of Maggie Island. Not greasy and overpacked with cheap ingredients like junk food pizza for yobbos.
