Paul and his team were amazing! We ran into some hiccups with the venue but Paul and his team handled it with care and patience which allowed us to fully enjoy our event. We have had a pizza vendor before but Paul's pizza exceed any expectations we had. They were accommodating with our menu requests and our guests (some who don't even like pizza) still rave about how good the pizza was! 100/10 would recommend. read more

We have to talk about these pies. Mostly because the ideas are lovely, but the execution--at least for the last pies of the night--is borderline terrible. There NEEDS to be some sort of cleaning process for the actual oven. Not only were the edges of the pies (overly) well-done, but there was so much actual soot on the bottom that it felt like licking a charcoal briquette with each bite; not to mention how problematic the science at play here can be for folks on any sort of meds. Really disappointing, especially because the last time I had a pie from these folks, it was absolute fire. But in this economy? With this quality? A bummer. read more

I finally got to try this pizza from Paul's Rustic Oven after tracking him for a few months and texting back and forth for a few weeks. This is a pop-up truck and not always in the same place so, best to call/text ahead. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul the owner a big teddy bear kind of guy. We spoke at length and had a wonderful conversation from everything from how he got started to how he makes his pizza. Actually, Paul has passed the tradition down to his son and son's wife and they are now the pie makers. Paul relaxes now and just moves the Rustic Oven trailer from place to place. Pizza time! Paul sources his ingredients locally and the pizza dough is hand made. Everything about the quality and freshness of ingredients comes through starting with the aroma. Once you take a bite the flavor matches the aroma. You can seriously taste the quality and freshness. These are Artisan wood fired style pizza. They are not dense and heavy like your highly processed pizza. The pies are personal size 10" to 11" so, if you can eat a lot of pizza in one sitting or, you like leftovers you may want two. I had (2) Margherita, (1) all meat and (1) BBQ chicken with thick cut bacon. All so flavorful...simply delicious. My wife and I had never tried a BBQ chicken pizza before. It just didn't seem like bbq sauce on a pizza would pair well...I mean come on. Well, Paul if you read this, you sold me on it brother. THAT bbq PIZZA WAS THE BOMB! My wife says she is ordering that next time and so am I. Paul, thank you for a wonderful conversation and delicious pizza. I will certainly be back! read more

Paul's was absolutely amazing!!!!! My wife and I booked Paul for our wedding, he knocked it out of the park! We were impressed from the moment we reached out to inquire about having Paul's cater. He responded right away and kept in contact through the entire process no matter the question. Our guests absolutely loved the pizza and definitely didn't go hungry. Paul's kept the buffet line stocked throughout out the entire time. They were extremely punctual and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be asking them to cater for us again read more

We can't say enough good things about Paul and his team!! Truly!!! They are professional, warm and fun, prompt and responsive, AND bring the most delicious pizzas ever! They are a staple at our event every year and constantly exceed expectations. Highly recommend! read more

Finally had a chance to try them out. Ordered a margarita for $13.....yes $13 for a 10 inch pizza with which was mediocre. It wasn't bad per se but not good and at this price point it better be awesome. Just an observation I see around this area at least is food trucks other than actual taco trucks are overpriced and serve sub par food from what you get at actual food places. People seem to think just because the food is served from a truck makes it tastes great. read more

First off, thank you! From the beginning you and your staff have been nothing short of amazing. Communication was prompt. Most of all, pizza was delicious. Paul catered our wedding and my guests were very pleased. Staff is very friendly. Had the best bartenders! I'm truly grateful for all that you and your staff have done for my husband and I. Thank you so very much!!!! read more

Paul's Rustic Oven catered our party yesterday. Can't say enough about the great experience. Heard several guests say it was the best pizza ever. Paul and his staff are extremely polite and professional. Showed up on time and left the grounds as clean as when they arrived. Would highly recommend Paul for any personal or business events! We selected five different pizzas: Pear Gorgonzola,margherita, sausage, pepperoni, and BBQ chicken. They were all winners! Thank you, Paul, for helping to make our event extra special! read more

I just had their margarita pizza at Ripon festival on February 25 at 14:00 hours. Their pizza dough was cooked, but Pizza was lacking red sauce and cheese bits. And the oven handler failed in scrapping/maintaining burnt bits (in the oven) from adhering into a fresh made pizza! -- if there's a lack of ingredients on a margarita pizza, please don't make a pizza!! And Please do better Paul's Rustic Oven! I enjoy supporting local restaurant! read more

Paul and his crew catered our company Christmas party today. Paul was very easy to work with from start to finish. The pizza was so good! Such unique flavor combos and full of flavor. The pasta dishes were a hit as well. Pizza was fast and plentiful for our 100 guests. I can't wait to have another event just to use them again! You won't be disappointed. read more

Pizza is delicious! We got the following pizzas: Pepperoni - classic pizza and delicious! BBQ Chicken - this was my favorite pizza! The combination on the sweetness of the bbq, with the saltiness of the bacon, throw in the chicken and onion and top it off with cilantro to brighten the flavors. It's the one i would definitely recommend. Garlic Chicken Pizza - I can't remember the exact name for it but it definitely had garlic, chicken and basil. This one was not my personal favorite, only due to garlic flavor. My husband really enjoyed this one. Overall, these are really yummy pizza's. I the flavor that the stone oven gives to the crust. It definitely has a homemade taste to the pizza which I really enjoy. We can't wait to try other pizzas that are offered! read more

Tasty pizza! I got the Margherita pizza and it did not disappoint. The crust was filled with flavor and the pizza was truly cooked perfectly! read more

Paul and his team catered our wedding on 4/22/23 in Woodland California. They did absolutely phenomenal!! The appetizer, salad and main course pizzas were simply perfect and of the highest quality! The food was served timely and hot! I can not recommend having a pizza wedding more! No one remembers a cold chicken or tri tip wedding dinner but everyone will remember a pizza wedding. Every guest was blown away with the food. Thank you Paul and team, you guys killed it. read more

We are so very impressed! My wife contacted them about making an off menu pizza that we had on a trip to Pismo. It was a garlic scallop and shrimp pizza. Paul was fantastic and recreated it virtually identical. He even checked back with us for feedback on how we enjoyed it. It was amazing! Thank Paul and staff for a delicious pizza. We will definitely be back. read more

First, these guys really have their own taste and cult following. I have nothing against them other than my own opinion. This is just not my style, I really enjoy Italian pizza so no hard feelings towards PRO's pizza. They are all working with passion and bring new tastes onto the menu. I am not a NY pizza snob either, I just like simple Napoletana pizza, no combos, meat lovers or Canadian Bacon with..you know... (pineapple). Paul has some good pit stop locations that are also worth mentioning, for instance; I had a work from home day and was able to visit the Sciabica Olive Oil gift shop after giving my pizza orders. No need to leave negative stars at all, Support your local pizza folks and give PRO a try! Update: Warning, if you love traditional pizza do not try it unless someone else buy it. Stick with the pizza you can find in the Bay Area. To be fair, if you were raised on regular pizza then PRO might be right up your alley for trying new tastes, for you definately give them a taste test. read more

Great customer service and some of the best pizza in the valley! I have attended weddings, fundraisers and various pop ups that serves Paul's pizza and it was amazing every time! Definitely recommend for weddings or parties - Paul will take care of you! read more

Been noticing this truck by Rodin and decided to check it out. I was very impressed. We tried 3 pizzas - Rustic Combo, BBQ Chicken & Garlic Chicken. All 3 were great! The BBQ was our favorite because it had the most flavor. The BBQ sauce was super yummy. What I liked best was the crust. Their dough was soft yet still crispy & chewy. Everything you could want. The girl who took my order was really nice and our food came out in less than 10 mins. I'm really glad to see more food trucks coming to Riverbank. We will be back! read more

Paul has been such a wonderful vendor to work with. We had an event far away from home (Los Angeles) and he's been so professional, courteous, and thorough to work with. He is such an honest and kind soul and we highly valued the service and efforts in helping us plan out this big (wedding-like) event remotely. His pizzas were also so delicious and I really wish he could cater in Los Angeles for a future event, but we'd definitely be using him again in the future when we're closer!!! We're forever grateful and forever a fan!!! Thank you -- PAUL for everything! read more

I work across the street from Smoky's where Paul's Rustic Oven sets up every Wednesday night... and every Wednesday night, my tummy flutters when I see his tent set up. The pizzas are cooked so perfectly and the crust is not too thick, nor too thin. The Hot Pig pizza is one of my favorite pizzas... that spicy honey can be SPI-CEY. Cannot wait to try other flavors! read more

Working with Paul was one of the easiest parts throughout my whole wedding planning process. He is so kind, easy going and makes everything so simple. I was unsure about a lot at first in terms of selections and what I should do but as the event got closer he was helpful with decision making and helped put my mind at ease ensuring that everything was going to be in good hands. He has several options of packages and is very accommodating with customizing those options as well. We did the all you can eat option with 4 choices: garlic chicken and spinach, bbq chicken and bacon, classic pepperoni and sausage combo all of which were a hit! Paul and his team were in their zone the day of the wedding and everything went smoothly. We got many compliments. They are a great group of people and you can tell they enjoy what they do. I was so pleased with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to do it again! If you're looking to try something different for catering needs, Paul is the guy. Thank you again for everything!! read more

My friend Paul, What a wonderful sight to see you on Thursday's outside my work this past month. You're wonderful food and genuine kindness have been a welcome sight during such a tumultuous year . Got me hooked on that bbq chic pizza and saus combo. Thank you again and can't wait to have more of your delish pizzas. Your coffee girl :) read more

Tasty ingredients, pizza was great. The female cashier was friendly as the older lady was not. I attempted to give the friendly cashier a tip and "Paul's son" got all bent out of shape. Not sure what's going on with him, perhaps low emotional intelligence/does not understand customer service? We will not be returning... read more

Pretty good pizza, though not as substantial as I'd have expected. Good flavor, a little lacking on toppings for my taste.

Paul's Rustic Oven is most excellent! The wood fired oven provides a gentle smokiness to the prime ingredients. Paul uses Sciabica's olive oil and it is perfect on the gourmet pizza dough. The menu is consistent and Paul can change it up for private events. read more

We had a great pleasure working with Paul last Friday at our client's appreciation event in San Jose. Paul is a very honest, trustworthy, and easy-going person! Everything was very well organized. Paul's pizza is soooo sooo good! Even better than in Italy :)Every person enjoyed the event! Thank you very much, Paul! Can't wait to work with you again! Best, Fatima read more

Best pizza around! We have Paul's pizza every chance we get. The Rustic Oven is awesome for events, too.

We tried Paul's Rustic Oven tonight at Smokey's Bar and Grill in Modesto. The pizza was fantastic! I especially loved the Pear Gorgonzola. It was nice and sweet! Paul is incredibly friendly, as is his team. They also do private catering and will bring their pizza oven to your party or wedding. Great people and great pizza, I definitely recommend! read more

Paul's pizza is FANTASTIC. We had him cater our wedding and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. Our guests were raving about his super cool oven and pizzas all night long. Paul and his whole team were fabulous, engaging with with guests while serving up delicious appetizers, drinks and pizza. We loved each and every one of our pizza selections, including a few custom creations that Paul made for us. He even met up with us a couple months prior to the wedding for a tasting which was super fun, and much appreciated since the wedding day itself was such a whirlwind. Thank you Paul and team!! read more

I have had a couple recent opportunities to sample Paul's Rustic Pizza Oven's catering. On the first opportunity I had I was very excited as I love to try new things. I knew it was pretty much my only opportunity unless I hired them myself and let's be honest, who DOESN'T love pizza?! It looked so fresh and people kept leaving with these awesome looking pies. I noticed the pizza crust had a lot of char but I know that comes along with a fire oven pizza and people told me they really enjoyed it despite the char. So I gave it a go! I got the Classic Margherita (Tomato sauce, Mozzarella and Fresh Basil) and I was happy to say my pie crust was great, browned but not charred. Yay! The pizza overall was okay, I was hoping for more, especially when I saw them brush butter over the crust. The dough, while definitely fresh, just tasted like it could use a little something extra. Actually, all the ingredients were pretty mild in flavor and there just wasn't any signature taste to it. Price on this visit was $8. On my next opportunity I got the Garlic Chicken & Spinach (Garlic Crema, Mozzarella, Spinach, Chicken, Onions). This time the price was $9. I had the same experience as before (it was okay) but the crust was pretty charred this time around and I ended having up to leave the burnt pieces behind. Kind of a waste...boo. Overall, I like the idea of Paul's Rustic Oven. It's pretty unique to be able to have a fire oven brought to your event with a variety of topping choices. However, the finished product was average and didn't leave me craving more. read more

Paul and his amazing crew recently catered my Daughter's wedding. But somehow the word "cater" just doesn't describe what they did. From the fantastic gourmet pizzas, to the personalized service, everyone felt so lovingly cared for! I've of the highlights had to be when two of our guests, with severe gluten allergies, were concerned about what they could safely eat, Paul custom crafted the most amazing and delicious salads for them on the spot. It goes without saying that I highly recommend Paul's Rustic Oven, from the gourmet menu to the outstanding service you will be so amazed! read more

AMAZING. Delicious pizzas and incredible people. Paul's Rustic Oven has been coming out to DMC to provide us a delicious option for our lunch breaks for the past month and man am I so thankful! Their BBQ Chicken pizza is so flavorful--a must try. read more

Paul is the real deal! My husband & I hired him for our wedding without first tasting his pizzas. I think our guests were a little shocked we told them we were serving pizza for dinner, but as soon as they tasted the appetizers we chose & then the pizza/salad, they could not stop talking about how delicious everything was! My cousin's son came up to me during dinner to let me know it was the best pizza he had ever eaten in his entire life. A few of our other guests asked us the following day what the name of his business is so they can go enjoy more soon. read more
