Gigi and the De La Vina team are INCREDIBLE! They were able to create the most memorable high-end brunch (with limited noticed) and took care of every detail to make for a flawless event. I was thrilled with the outcome and received so many compliments from guests.I'm read more

Absolutely excellent experience -- couldn't recommend more! Gigi and her team were extremely responsive from the get-go when I was planning my dad's 80th birthday in my parents' yard. Their team on site was also extremely professional and kind (offering multiple times to help out with other things we were carrying around etc). We'll definitely use them again! read more

Gigi and her staff were FANTASTIC!!!! Communication with Gigi from the first email to the Day of Event was quick and helpful and she helped guide us on how to host the event and even offered plan "B" as we were hosting an outdoor event for 100 people. The staff came in, set up and were soooo professional. All our guests commented on how amazing the food was!!! Everything was cooked to perfection and the food tables were constantly being refilled so we were never at a loss for food over the 4 hours of our event. I highly highly recommend De La Vina Catering and won't even think twice for my next event as I already know we will use them again. They came highly recommended to me and we have had many attendees ask for their contact information. Again, I cannot praise this group enough if you want gourmet food and fantastic service for your next event! read more

Gretchen and her team did a fantastic job of making our graduation party so memorable. The food was phenomenal with so many creative options, and the presentation gorgeous. You can tell that the team has such attention to detail, which makes such a big difference. Would highly recommend to anybody, they truly made the party more fun, classy, and enjoyable. Could not recommend De La Vina enough. read more

Amazing catering service! The presentation is so beautiful and the food is delicious.

Gretchen and her team were amazing from beginning to end. She had wonderful recommendations for our event, they worked seamlessly to serve our guests, their table displays were beautiful, and the staff was so kind and genuine. I highly recommend giving them a call! read more

I used De La Vina Catering for my Sister in Laws Baby Shower and I was so happy with their services. We had 60 guests and there was the perfect amount of food. She even provided to-go boxes with mini pizzas that were left over. We had many pizza enthusiastic guests happily take them home. Gigi the owner was great to work with! She was prompt to respond to emails, organized with her menu and contracts, flexible and had a positive attitude throughout the whole process. Her table display and presentation of the pizzas was aesthetically beautiful (Rustic and sophisticated) and the charcuterie board was beautiful and inviting, which was very important to me and it enhanced the party's overall decor. The pizzas were delicious and the ingredients were fresh. The guests were raving about the food afterwards and the experience. I would happily and highly recommend De La Vina Catering to any of my friends and family. read more

De La Vina Catering did and amazing job at our home by the pool for 50 people. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. All my guests raved about the food! I am so grateful that Grethen went out of her way to ensure that everything was perfect for my event. Thank you, Gretchen, you are 5 star all the way!!! Highly recommend!! read more

We had them cater our party of 50 and it was everything we asked for! The pizza kept coming out and everyone absolutely loved all of the different flavors. The charcuterie trays were as tasty as they were beautiful! Their professionalism and care really shines through. We are definitely looking forward to using them again. read more

Fire and Wine Catering was fantastic! I wish I had taken pictures of the pizzas they made (five different types), but they disappeared before I could! They catered my boyfriend's birthday party and our guests really enjoyed everything they prepared. They were professional and very personable. They set up very quickly, brought beautiful china plates and small linen napkins, and flatware. Casual elegance and great food! read more

De La Viña Catering is fantastic! The owner, GiGi, is very talented and very professional. She showed up early and stayed late. She went above and beyond to make sure our vision was realized. She is a delightful, charming person and it was a pleasure doing business with her. Her staff is also very good. She knows how to deliver on her word. I will use her for all my catering needs in the future! read more

10/10 Hire De La Vina for your event. They catered our party for 50. We wanted a mobile dinner where folks could mingle. They came up with the perfect menu - sliders, skewers, pizzas, bruschetta - many types of each, salad and dessert too. Gorgeously presented, passed amongst the crowd. So professional, went out of their way to make our event successful. Every single attendee commented on the amazing food. read more

Beautiful atmosphere and killer brick oven pizza! The perfect spot to try their pleasantly food-friendly wines. I will no doubt be having them cater my next event. read more

Please open a brick and mortar! First off, I love pizza. Everyone knows that a delicious crust is key, but what elevates this product above other wood-fired pizzas are the sauces and flavor combinations. Back to the crust-- it's stretchy and bubbly and crisp and has flavor beyond the flour. Perfection. Next the execution is on point. Thinly sliced squash so farmers market sweet that you can't understand where all of the flavor is coming from, BBQ pork with sticky, sweet BBQ sauce and bright cilantro, meat combinations, minced chili garlic etc. One of the fun aspects was being surprised and delighted by the piping hot options that flowed to the table without ordering. I am still unsure of what all we ate, but it was pizza perfection and I will definitely seek it out in the future! read more

Oh how I crave thee! When my husband and I got engaged the very first thing we decided was that we wanted to serve pizza at our wedding. We'd never heard of pizza at a wedding before but we fell in love over pizza so we had to make sure it was a thing. I did some minimal research online and found Fire & Wine within about 10 minutes. Their awesome website has a calendar on it so I was able to easily see their availability. We called and had a quick phone conversation about what we wanted and how we were going to achieve it. Gretchen was very confident that she and Chris could make our wedding food exactly what we wanted within the price range we had budgeted. A few months later we went to one of their pop up events and tried their food-------- PRAISE THE PIZZA GODS FOR THEY HAVE BLESSED GRETCHEN & CHRIS WITH THE GLORY OF ALL PIZZA POWER!! The pizza was. so. good. It was better than good. It was amazing! Now- as I understood it- pizza is the greatest food of all time BUT THEN Gretchen gave us the Kale Salad to try and HOLY PIZZA GODS! The Kale salad is quite possibly one of the top best things I have ever eaten and I thought I hated kale! A few more months later we meet them again at a different pop up event and this time Gretchen had a couple of custom items that we requested for the wedding for us to try. Somehow, I am not sure how, but somehow the pizza got better. This slice of heaven she served us was cooked to perfection with toppings placed within the perfect ratio. Gretchen also went over every minor detail about the wedding with us. What color forks and plates she was bringing, how big her drink containers were, how the pizzas would be set out, etc. Every single question I had she handled. She also decided to make an extra appetizer for us at no extra charge which was such a blessing. We wanted two but had no way to afford that extra little bit for each person. The day of the wedding was a blur for me but I was confident that Gretchen, Chris and their staff would have the food perfect. I saw Gretchen for about 34 seconds that night and I only ate half a slice of the "Mel" pizza which she made custom for our wedding (Pepperoni, Bacon, Pineapple & Jalapeno (try it if you haven't before)) but I did get multiple compliments about Fire & Wine's pizzas, appetizers and salads. I even heard from one friend of mine that went to their most recent pop up event! Our goal was for our family & friends to understand our deep love of pizza by serving them delicious pizza and with the help and perfect execution of Gretchen & Chris we were able to do that. I am looking forward to the many visits we plan to make as a married couple to the Pop Up Events around the Central Coast! read more

My now hubby and I had a very small wedding in San Luis Obispo at a private residence and we were looking for something fun and delicious for food instead of traditional dry steak and veggie sides. Fire and Wine catering did a phenomenal job! Who doesn't love having options when they eat?!?!?? The salad and pizza options were from traditional to urban and let me tell you about the crudités....it was so beautifully displayed I didn't want anyone to eat it! Having the wood fire oven right there is amazing! The smell of dough, cheese and meats making its way through the aisles was definitely a highlight of the night. The whole team were professional and easy to work with but also made it fun. I'll definitely use them for another gathering! read more

Came across this fantastic business from the barkeep in Carpinteria. She was praising the fantastic pies and we were lucky to find out that they were going to be at BrewLab on Friday. Hands down, the best meal we had all weekend. The Mendo came fully loaded with mushroom, bacon, truffle oil, and awesomeness. The Roma was packed with juiciness from the sausage, pepperoni, onion, and red bell. We couldn't stop talking about these pizzas the entire weekend. You've gained a huge fans! read more

Delicious unique pizzas with some amazing toppings. They catered an event at Laetitia winery lately. Very impressed with not only their food but kind and efficient service. I look forward to utilizing them for a private event in the future. Try the pistachio pesto pizza. Yummy read more

Well here we are in week (insert number here) of a two week shelter in place when my wife and I received a text last night asking if we would like to join a group ordering up a pizza. Normally, this is not a big deal if you live on the flat-lands, but when you live up in Painted cave, it is unheard of that a Pizza company would deliver up here, no money to be made, too far, and the pizza would probably be cold. (we actually believe this is the first time for a pizza delivery into the Cave Community) Enter Fire & Wine, they not only delivered pizza for around (insert number here) people, but also did it with NO delivery charge and prices right off their menu (read- no gouging). They par cooked the pizza, so all we had to do was pop it in the oven for 5 minutes to finish the cooking process and we had a most excellent dinner. (Roma Pizza, yummy) We want to thank Gretchen and Chris for their most unselfish act of going the extra mile (actually about 14 round trip) of providing excellent pizza's and for making us not seem not quite so far away. I believe that this may be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Thanks again, MountainMan4865 read more

We had the pleasure of working with Fire & Wine on 7/22 at Casa De La Guerra in Santa Barbara, and WOW we're we impressed!! From the initial communication to the end of dinner service, was nothing short of perfect! Gretchen was extremely attentive to our clients and myself during the planning stages. She was extremely prompt to reply to emails, and was always very high energy in her communication. She took the time to review the documents I sent and gave feedback, rather than just skimming over things as some vendors do. She was top notch and I felt comfortable with her on our side!! The day of the wedding was flawless!! Fire & Wine showed up on time, setup in a flash, coordinated with my team and I, executed a delicious meal perfectly on schedule, and hustled to feed 263 people with ease! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this company! I cannot wait to refer them to our future clients! Thank you Gretchen and team!!!! read more

Chris, Gretchen and the entire team are amazing. First, the food is incredible and our guests could not stop raving about it. Second, the set-up, tear down and overall timing of food throughout the evening was seamless. Third, they are the most approachable and delightful team you can ask for! They were the most perfect choice for our wedding. read more

Chris, Gretchen, and the Fire & Wine Team were such a joy to work with for our recent wedding in Los Alamos! After we tasted the pistachio pizza for the first time, it was a done deal...we had to have them cater our wedding! Not only did they provide amazing appetizers, salad and delicious pizza, but the set up worked perfectly with our rustic style wedding and their organization made serving our 140 guests look effortless. Our guests could not stop raving about the variety and quality of their specialty pizzas! Chris and Gretchen are wonderful people and would highly recommend Fire & Wine to anyone! read more

The tale is as old as time ... boy meets girl, they fall in love, plan their wedding, find an amazing caterer, and a global pandemic rocks California. Fire & Wine knocked our socks off with their amazing food (and we've got high standards), but just as importantly, their service was above and beyond. Each time we had to pivot in the face of new government restrictions, guest cancellations, new dietary restrictions and pretty much everything hitting the fan (sometimes twice!) they were kind, understanding, and exceedingly flexible. When we had to postpone our celebration, they graciously offered to refund our deposit. I'm inclined to have them keep it though, because when we're ready to party they'll be our first call. Until then, I dream of hugging friends + family without fear of disease (or government or social reprimand), a life without face masks, and Fire & Wine pizza. Can't thank you enough Gretchen - you helped make a tough time bearable! read more

Tried several pizzas while they were at Sinor LaValle tasting room today. Awesome pizza that rivals anything from New York. Cooked perfectly and made with fresh ingredients. Hope to see more of you throughout the Central Coast. I'm a fan! read more

We were driving by and saw an awning with a bbq next to it that was set back off Calle Real. We pulled in and we're pleasantly surprised that they put together 2 juicy, thick Tri-Tip Sandwiches. They were delicious and satisfying. We highly recommend SB Woodfire to everyone! read more

Gretchen and Chris are amazing. Fire and wine catered our wedding last year at the orchid farm and they made our family style intimate dinner setting PERFECT. I can't thank them enough, they go above and beyond and our friends still talk about that night with great memories of the food. Much love to you Gretchen and Chris. read more

Gretchen and Chris are the ultimate top shelf experience: professional, organized, kind, patient, impossibly cool and overall stellar-they were the PERFECT fit to cater my mom's retirement party of 60 (!) guests and are now my go-to. In the planning phase they were prepared with suggestions and offered feedback on which pizzas and appetizers were hits in the past. Their ongoing patience with my absurd indecisiveness coupled with their seamless set up and break down made me feel like I won the catering lottery. I know they would approach an intimate dinner party with the same phenomenal spirit they brought to my Mom's blowout; you get the sense immediately upon meeting them that their talent for scale coupled with museum-like presentation and delectability is not to be missed. read more

We absolutely love the entire team at Fire & Wine! We have worked two weddings with them to-date and they have knocked it out of the park both times. It's rare that we add a vendor to our preferred list so quickly, but we just had to! We look forward to working with them for many years to come! read more

On a recent up and down trip to wine country I was introduced to Fire and Wine Catering. THIS IS THE SMARTEST BUSINESS IDEA EVER! This is not your Bud Light and pepperoni type of pie. This Husband & Wife duo toss magic in the air and down comes a wood fired delight. Instead of reaching for another cracker to help keep you level, you get a small slice of heaven. It's six in the morning and I am writing this review... Why? Because I can't get the first bite out of my mind. My future and I have already decided, when we tie the knot, this pie is going to be there. We have decided against the dry steak and asparagus (at every wedding ever), we have opted for a fired delight instead. read more

Just returned from a pick-up party at CLESI. OMG, the food from Fire & Wine Catering was SO GOOD! The salads, the huge variety of wood fired pizzas...ridiculous. I am pretty picky about food and love the farm to table, local style of eating. I was impressed. read more

This was the second time we have used F&W Catering and everyone loved the food and the service. Highly recommend them! Thank you, Gretchen and Chris - we look forward to working with you again next year! read more

When we decided on serving pizza at our wedding, we figured it would just be a fun, out of the ordinary reception dinner that none of our guests could complain about... In hiring Gretchen and Chris, what we received was an unbelievable meal from beginning to end that won't soon be forgotten by anyone in attendance. From the beautifully assembled charcuterie board, to the perfectly prepared selection of wood fired pizza's and everything in between (mind-blowing bruschetta!) there was not a single course or ingredient that didn't exceed all of our expectations. Deciding to hire Fire & Wine did not require much deliberation. We had a quick slice at a pop-up in San Luis at the end of a very long day of tastings. While the few bites of pizza we had that night was great, it was the people making the pizza that really made up our minds and we hired them on the spot. Gretchen and Chris are as sweet as they are talented and hard-working. A married couple themselves, their enthusiasm and communication put us at ease immediately. The only difficulty we encountered was selecting a menu from their extensive, ever changing list of delicious-sounding pizzas and sides; but you really couldn't go wrong if you tried. Our wedding site (a Morro Bay ranch located at the end of a long, bumpy, winding dirt road) was not exactly made for towing a pizza oven to and from, but this was no problem for Fire & Wine. They arrived on-time without issue, and got right to work. The spread they put out was so gorgeous it could have doubled as a decorative wedding feature, until our guests ate it all that is. Two weeks later I'm still receiving comments on the "amazing food" and don't expect that will end soon. We didn't have much of a chance to thank them that night with so much going on, but our wedding simply wouldn't have been as great as it was without Gretchen and Chris. If you have a wedding, party, or any kind of event at all coming up and you're looking for a caterer, do yourself a favor and stop looking. Just hire Fire & Wine Catering. Thank You So Much For Everything Gretchen and Chris! read more

We had the pleasure of eating Fire & Wine fine wood-fired pizzas at the Foxen Winery on Sunday. The pizza was great and the salad was awesome. The food was fresh and simply wonderful. We will go to any public event where these folks are serving their great pizzas and salads. Looking forward to enjoying their food again and soon I hope. read more

WOW! All I can say in the fewest amount of words as possible is Fire and Wine Catering did an amazing job and went above and beyond for us. Not only did they set out my dream charcuterie board display for my wedding (literally dreamy with eucalyptus) but also hand delivered my husband and I a platter display after we tied the knot so we were able to eat some before our guests had at it. They set out a beautiful welcome station with water and iced tea and moved it to the dance floor later on, which was never asked of them but super helpful and incredibly sweet. Not only did they work with my budget but they provided some of the best pizza we have ever had!!!! We got so many compliments, and it truly made our wedding unique. When you think of pizza it may sound typical to you, but I assure you it was so fun! Such creative pairings that will make you crave it again shortly after eating it. They even boxed up left overs for us and provided cutlery. They quickly served 100 guests and snapped this cute picture of my husband and I. Will definitely be booking them for more events in the future and you would not be making a mistake if you did too! Thank you guys for everything. Love, Luke and Michelle read more

I heard planning a wedding was stressful. Maybe it can be. But if you surround yourself with the best location (Zinke Wines) and great food, it's a snap. Gretchen and Chris made our day that much more special by bringing incredible food and amazing energy. The pizza was disappearing as fast as they were brought out. Delicious! Each one was a winner. The arugula salad - the BEST!! We had a wonderful charcuterie board that was picked clean by the end of the night - incredible cheese selection, fresh fruit, delicious pieces of bread and crackers. And GLUTEN FREE options that were so tasty!! I am running out of adjectives because I cannot stress enough how special they made our night. Once Gretchen and Chris were on-board, we didn't worry about a single thing. Our friends RAVED about the delicious pizzas. Happy guests, happy night. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts (and stomachs) for all your hard work and making our wedding so memorable. read more

Wonderful. Had your pizza at the Social Distortion concert in Avila Beach. I am 57 years old from Orange County (Social D fan since high school, '79!!!) and had my share of the world's pizzas. Yours may be the best or tied for best. In all honesty! Italy has nothing on you. Thank you and best wishes to your team. GA Santa Barbara CA. read more

Thank you Gretchen and Chris for helping make our wedding so special! Fire and Wine was incredibly easy and friendly to work with. They are truly awesome people. They have a huge selection of pizza and other foods that really impressed our guests, and they do an amazing job of setting everything up and serving. People had so much fun being able to watch their pizzas cook in the wood-fired pizza oven that Fire and Wine brings. It was so difficult to choose among the pizzas and desserts they offered on their menu, but our guests loved everything we chose and we received so many compliments throughout the night. I highly recommend working with Fire and Wine for your wedding. read more

Wow! We were so impressed and pleasantly surprised. We had an open house last night for the completion of our new guest house. We had Gretchen and Chris with Fire and Wine catering. The wood-fired pizzas were the bomb.... thin delicious crust with so many unique varieties of toppings, fixed to perfection. We felt like we were in Italy! We had five different combinations of pizzas, plus Caesar and Greek salads along with a beautiful charcuterie board filled with an array of meats, cheeses, crackers, pickles, nuts, jams, fresh fruits etc....To top it off our dessert was homemade brownies and gelato served with fresh strawberries! The presentation was amazing! Our friends had such a wonderful evening. They've been texting me today thanking us for such a fun, different experience. Gretchen and Chris were so professional and helpful and always there to answer any questions. This definitely will NOT be the last party that they cater for us! Thank you Gretchen and Chris for such a fun night! It was so nice for us just being able to kick back, relax and enjoy our guests for the evening and not having to think about a thing! Hire them for your next party..... you won't be disappointed! read more

What can I say. These guys nailed it. They catered our wedding and the service and food was sublime. I don't know how they make it but he Cesar salad was off the hook. Every pizza they brought out was amazing. The only problem I had was not enough room in my stomach to keep eating. Thank you for make my our wedding amazing. read more

Just had my son's wedding Rehearsal dinner for 90 people. Gretchen, Chris and crew were beyond magnificent. Since we live in L.A. and couldn't make a tasting (Gretchen gave me several dates to try) we went on pure trust. And she hit it out of the park. The pizzas and salads were amazing. Fresh pizzas just kept on coming out. And that was hard to do for this large, hungry crowd. I was going to try my own margarita recipe when Gretchen convinced me to try hers. Well, you couldn't have had happier guests. She and her crew did everything with a smile. Even packed up leftover pizzas to take home. Can't say enough about them. Debbie Stern read more
