Pizzas Cooked Fresh and Onsite

A Wandering Fire’s pizza doughs and sauces are all made from scratch.

The dough is the anchor of good pizza. No amount of toppings or gimmicky ingredients can cover the taste of a poorly crafted dough. The pizza dough is made from scratch a few days before the event. Making fresh dough way gives the dough the time to rise and rest.

Because every wedding menu is customized to the wedding couple, we make fresh sauces and toppings each week. Wherever appropriate, we buy ingredients from the local farmers, dairies, and butcher shops in the rural communities of western Wisconsin.

We work hard not to use prepacked or prepared ingredients on our menu.

-Artisan Pizza Choices-

We use the finest ingredients available for our pizzas. We make our own dough, sausage and sauces, and source products through local farms and businesses when possible.

Our pizzas are named after famous wanderers. Who is your favorite?

Delicious Starters and Appetizers

Starters and appetizers are a great way to keep guests happy, excited, and comfortable while socializing before your reception.

Everyone eventually gets hungry depending on the time of the wedding, the wait between the ceremony and reception, and the type and amounts of alcohol being served. Hungry people are cranky people. You don’t want grumpy people on your happy day. Plus, you don’t want grandpa passing out in the reception line from low blood sugar. Something that happens far more often than people realize.

The following items are available in addition to our artisan pizza buffet.

The gluten-free alternative is our pizzas served on a gluten-free sandwich wrap. Cross-contamination is possible—limited availability. Please Note: all of our food is prepared in the same kitchen as we make our dough, and we use wheat flour to dust our pizza peels when we are serving. We make every attempt to clean our areas, peels, and oven floor when cooking GF. However, there is a possibility of flour contamination.

The Herbivorous Pizza
We are happy to serve many of our items using vegan meats and are cheese-free. To keep to our quality standards, we use products from The Herbivorous Butcher in Minneapolis. We have experience with creating entire vegan-friendly catering events. Additional charges may apply.
