Oakwood Fire Pizza is more than just a food truck; it is the culinary creation of Chef Tom D’Ambrosio, co-creator of other delicious food trucks such as Aioli Gourmet Burgers and Modern Tortilla. Tom and his partner, Kyle Hollebeck, started off with a single truck and eventually grew into a full-on catering company here in the Phoenix valley. Since 2018, Oakwood Fire Pizza has used Chef Tom’s Italian upbringing and Kyle’s Chicago influences to create the perfect pizzas. Oakwood Fire Pizza continues to celebrate our successes as being the best pizza in Phoenix, Arizona and one of the top catering food trucks.
Oakwood Fire Pizza not only wishes to serve the best pizza in the Valley but also with the freshest ingredients around. Our authentic dough and fresh ingredients create the perfect pizza, which is cooked within 90 seconds with our wood fired oven. But eating this pizza is only half of the incredible experience. See our chefs in action as they prepare each made to order pizza step by step—from tossing the dough to drizzling our delicious sauce. Our guests love to finish off each meal with our hand tossed salads and freshly baked sides that create the pizza food truck catering experience.
Oakwood Fire Pizza is not just a two-man job but instead employs the best team in the Valley to keep this catering company strong. Check out our fantastic staff below and see how they helped influence Oakwood Fire Pizza to become what it is today!
