Birthday Party: Everyone loves Pizza - Children, Teenagers, and Adults!

Business Meeting: Variety! Easy to serve! Time efficient!

Jack Welch, CEO General Electric Corporation, stated, “Companies do not celebrate enough.” Having a small quick pizza fest with words of praise, cost is in the hundreds, rewards are in the thousands. On the other hand, John’s makes tough business meetings easy to swallow. Mixing good food with tough talk is easier when everyone is eating from the same dinner table.

Church Gathering: Something for every Taste!

Placing your catering order

Catering orders should be called in or faxed in advance. We are able to take orders days or weeks in advance. We appreciate the notice and can plan ahead to accommodate your requests more efficiently. Phone: 651-488-1922 Fax: 651-489-6042. You can call again anytime to revise or add to your order. Calling ahead guarantees your day and time before others reserve it, since we must honor first come first served. This also frees your mind of the major components of the meal, and allows you to fine tune and tweak the incidentals (banners, greetings or short speeches, table arrangements, setting and signs, ads, etc.) which make a good event into a Great Event.

John’s staff is able to spend extra time with your large-order catering calls when you call in the morning or mid afternoon.

Be sure to give John’s Pizza pertinent information about the delivery:

If you are a company or organization, give the name of a contact person.
Which door should the driver approach?
What are the security procedures in the building?
Who should the driver ask for?
Do you want a call when the driver is on the way so you can meet us at the door with carts?
Give us your direct phone number if you are calling from a main building number or cell phone number if more accessible.
Keep your time frame manageable. Your set up time should be minimal, so refrain from the temptation to set the delivery time too early. Try to reduce the chances that your food will be delivered long before your guests are available.
You may request a buffet server from John’s personnel, if available, to help you serve large groups quickly.
