Orapello’s Wood Fired Pizza

Went to a wedding at the Waterfall House in West Fulton last weekend, and one of the best parts of the event was the absolutely delicious pizzas.
As part of the wedding party, my husband was responsible for helping get the oven set up and ferrying pizzas in as they were completed, and Orapello’s guys were so conscientious, polite, helpful and just a joy to work with… also, since Spouse was handling the transaction, I saw the price. And for the quality of the pizzas — it was totally reasonable.
Really recommended — I don’t often see these types of affairs done well at weddings.

Absolutely amazing.
We hired Joe & his crew to sling pizzas at our August 2013 wedding, and they impressed the pants off of us. From our mid-​winter tasting at Joe and Kim’s house, where we were made to feel very welcome and excited, to all of our quick email and phone communications, to the big day, it was nothing but a pleasure to work with Orapello’s Wood Fired Pizza.
Joe is truly a pizza perfectionist– his oven was imported from Italy, he only uses doppo zero flour for the dough and San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce. This man is the real deal. My new husband (!!!) is very serious about pizza, and he knew he had met his pizza-​loving match in Joe from the moment we read the Orapello’s website. The pizzas are incredible, with beautiful leoparding of the crust and flavorful ingredients. We got so many compliments at our wedding of 90 people, and Joe and his crew were able to serve all of them incredibly quickly for a very reasonable price. My favorite was the BBQ chicken with tart red onions, but the pear & gorgonzola, and the prosciutto and arugula with balsamic drizzle were also huge hits. Even three days later, I am enjoying the pizza on my honeymoon, cold from the fridge.
It’s very rare that I will recommend something without hesitation or caveat, but I would do so for Orapello’s. Honestly, if we have any more big events in our family, we will probably be calling Joe to swing by with his oven. He couldn’t be a more professional or easy to work with guy, and he makes a mean pizza!

Tasted like any other wood-​fired pizza to me. Not sure the hubaloo, but not bad. I’d have more stars if it were handmade with original ingredients, but about the only thing separating this from Pizza Hut or the other chains was the fact that it’s wood-​fired made. Of course, handmade would be too much to ask for in a good pizza.

We had Orapello’s Wood Fired Pizza at our farm wedding last weekend, and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved the pizza. Joe and his team were incredibly friendly, professional, and accommodating. They had to run all of the pizzas up a hill that led into our barn in the summer heat, and they did it all night with a smile on their face! I was super impressed with their professionalism.
Also, the pizza is absolutely delicious! It’s thin and slightly crispy, but not TOO crispy (you know how some places burn wood fired pizza? I hate that!). There are a huge variety of flavors, and Joe and his team do their best to get them out quick.
We had 70 guests at our wedding and used one pizza truck. Joe was able to get everyone fed within a half hour time frame. It did take about 5 minutes to replenish the pizzas after each table went up to serve themselves, but the wait was worth it. Many of our guests went back for seconds and thirds as the night went on.
I would definitely recommend Orapello’s pizza for your wedding!

Catering and Events: If you go to the Fair or any local event and see these guys… treat yourself to a fresh made-​to-​order wood fired pizza. Joe travels with the oven in tow and makes individual sized pies. Delicious and imaginative choice of toppings includes prociutto and arugula-​YUM! He uses fresh mozarella and basil.
His pizza is much better than your run of the mill pre-​made slices.
