When we first started getting catering requests at Culto Italiano Pizzeria, we weren't sure what to expect. A local company wanted pizza for their team meeting. A family down the street needed food for a graduation party. Pretty soon, we realized something: people in Bergenfield wanted the same authentic Italian flavors they loved at our restaurant, but at their own events.
That's how our catering services began. What started as a few trays of pizza and pasta has grown into a full catering operation serving offices, families, and couples throughout Bergen County. We bring the same recipes, the same fresh ingredients, and the same care to every catering order — whether it's lunch for 15 or dinner for 150.
What We Offer
Italian Catering Done Right!
Our catering menu features the dishes that made Culto Italiano a neighborhood favorite. We're not a generic catering company that happens to offer Italian food. We're an Italian restaurant that brings our kitchen to you.
Our pizzas are the star of most catering orders, and for good reason. We make our dough fresh every day using a recipe we've perfected over the years. The sauce comes from San Marzano tomatoes. The mozzarella is the real thing. When you order pizza catering from us, you're getting the same quality as if you walked into our restaurant on Washington Avenue.
We offer full sheet pizzas for larger groups, which feed about 12-15 people each. Most customers mix classic options like Margherita and pepperoni with a few specialty pies. Our white pizza with ricotta and spinach is always a hit at office events.
Sometimes pizza alone won't cut it. For sit-down events or more formal gatherings, we offer pasta trays and Italian entrees. Baked ziti, chicken parmigiana, eggplant rollatini — these are dishes we've been making for years. They travel well and taste just as good at your venue as they do in our dining room.
A good Italian meal starts before the main course. Our catering menu includes bruschetta, fried calamari, meatballs, garlic knots, and fresh salads. These work great for cocktail-style events or as starters before the main dishes come out.
Catering Services
For Every Occassion in Bergenfield
We've catered just about every type of event you can think of in Bergenfield and the surrounding area. Each one is a little different, and we've learned how to adapt.
Weddings
We've become a popular choice for wedding-related events in the area. Rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and even some receptions. Couples tell us they love the idea of serving something memorable instead of the standard banquet hall chicken.
Corporate Events
For corporate clients, we handle everything from small team lunches to company-wide celebrations. We know that when you're ordering for the office, you need the food to arrive on time and ready to serve. No stress, no surprises.
Private Parties &
Family Gatherings
Family celebrations are where Italian food really shines. Birthday parties, graduation parties, communion celebrations, holiday gatherings — these are events where people want comfort food that brings everyone together. A big spread of pizza and pasta does exactly that.
Serving
Bergenfield
and Bergen County
Our restaurant is right here in Bergenfield, and that's where most of our catering orders go. But we also deliver throughout Bergen County. Teaneck, Dumont, New Milford, Englewood, Hackensack — if you're within a reasonable drive, we can get hot food to your event.
For local Bergenfield orders, we're often able to offer same-day or next-day service for smaller events. Larger catering orders typically need a few days' notice so we can prep everything properly. We'll always be upfront about timing when you call.
How It Works
Booking Our Catering Service
We try to keep things simple. Here's what to expect when you order catering from Culto Italiano:
Give us a call or stop by the restaurant. Let us know the date, the number of guests, and what type of event you're planning. If you have dietary restrictions or specific requests, this is the time to mention them.
Based on your guest count and budget, we'll suggest menu options that make sense. Feeding 20 people at a casual office lunch is different from feeding 80 at a formal party. We'll help you figure out the right amount of food so you're not short — and not stuck with too many leftovers.
On the day of your event, our kitchen prepares everything fresh. We deliver to your location at the time you specify, with all the serving utensils, plates, and napkins you need. For larger events, we can arrange setup assistance.
Once the food is there, you're set. No need to worry about the kitchen — just enjoy the event with your guests.
Why
Bergenfield
Chooses Culto Italiano for Catering
There are plenty of catering options in Bergen County. Here's why our customers keep coming back to us:
-
We're local. When you order from us, you're supporting a Bergenfield business. You're also getting a team that knows the area, can navigate local traffic, and will show up when we say we will.
-
We're consistent. The pizza you had at your last event will taste the same at your next one. We don't cut corners when we're busy, and we don't change recipes based on what's cheaper that week.
-
We're flexible. Need vegetarian options? Done. Gluten-free? We can work with that. Want to customize a menu that's not on our standard list? Let's talk about it.
-
We actually care. This might sound like something every restaurant says, but we mean it. Every catering order is a chance for someone new to try our food. We want them to love it as much as our regulars do.
Catering Prices
Booking Packages and More
Our catering prices depend on what you order and how many people you're feeding. As a general guide:
Small gatherings (10-20 people) might run $150-$300 depending on the menu. Medium events (30-50 people) typically fall in the $400-$700 range. Larger events are custom-quoted based on your specific needs.
We don't believe in hidden fees. The price we quote includes delivery within our service area, setup supplies, and all the food. If there are any additional costs — like for a location that's farther away — we'll tell you upfront.
According to the National Restaurant Association, catering is one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry, with more families and businesses choosing local restaurants over large catering companies for their events.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I place my catering order? For small orders (under 20 people), we can often accommodate 24-48 hours notice. For larger events, we recommend at least 3-5 days. Holiday periods and weekends book up fast, so the earlier you call, the better.
Do you offer vegetarian or gluten-free options? Yes. Our menu includes vegetarian pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads. For gluten-free needs, we can prepare certain items accordingly — just let us know when you order so we can plan properly.
Can I customize the menu? Absolutely. Our standard catering menu covers most requests, but we're happy to adjust based on your preferences. If there's a dish you love from our restaurant menu, ask if we can include it in your catering order.
What's your delivery area? We deliver throughout Bergenfield and most of Bergen County, including Teaneck, Dumont, New Milford, Englewood, and Hackensack. For locations outside this area, give us a call and we'll see what we can do.
Do you provide plates, napkins, and utensils? Yes, all catering orders include serving utensils, plates, napkins, and everything you need to serve the food. You don't need to supply anything except the guests.
How do I pay? We accept cash, credit cards, and checks. For larger orders, we may require a deposit when you book, with the balance due on delivery.
What if I need to change or cancel my order? Life happens. If you need to make changes, just call us as soon as possible. We're pretty flexible as long as you give us enough notice to adjust. Cancellation policies depend on how close to the event date you are.
