What it costs
What a wood-fired pizza counter costs, and what the rate already covers
This counter starts at about ₹550 per plate. What moves the number is the dish selection, the guest count and how long the counter stays open — a counter running for ninety minutes and one running all evening are not the same booking. The per-plate rate is not the food alone: it already carries the chefs at this counter, the stewards, the equipment and the clearance afterwards.
Included in the per-plate rate
- Chefs and counter cooks for every station
- Uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor
- Chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the date
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover
Quoted separately
- GST on the invoice
- Travel and logistics beyond Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad or Lonavala
- Premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce
- Generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it
- Extra service hours beyond the agreed window
How many you need
How many counters your guest count actually needs
One live counter per 75 guests is the planning figure we quote across every event. For this one specifically: about 60 ten-inch pizzas an hour from one oven.
The oven is the limit, not the chef — one oven turns out about sixty ten-inch pizzas an hour however many hands are stretching dough. A bigger crowd gets a second oven.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
Read the counters column as counters of every kind, not three of this one. At 250 guests a spread of three to four stations is normal, of which this counter is usually one — two only where it is carrying the meal rather than joining it.

Placement and timing
Where this counter stands, and when we open it
Opens at arrival and keeps going. Pizza is what guests eat standing, before they sit down to anything else.
We set this counter up across Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar-Kharadi, Lonavala to Khandala and Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse, lawn and resort venues where the power and the cover have to travel with us.
Where it fits
Events this wood-fired pizza counter suits
Not every counter belongs at every function. These are the three it is booked for most, and why.
Birthday
There is no counter a birthday crowd, adults included, empties faster.
Kids Party
Ninety seconds a pizza is the only service speed a room full of children will accept.
Outdoor Event
The oven wants to be outdoors anyway, so an open ground is this counter's best venue rather than its compromise.

When during the event does the wood-fired pizza counter open?

Can we book the wood-fired pizza counter on its own?
Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.
Is there a vegetarian, Jain or vegan version of the wood-fired pizza counter?
Jain pizza without onion or garlic is on the standard card, launched on its own peel and baked on its own section of the stone. The vegetarian bases use a rennet-free mozzarella. On a wood-fired pizza the cheese is most of the dish, so this is the check that matters here. Vegan pizza runs a dairy-free mozzarella on the standard dough, which is eggless anyway, with an olive-oil and tomato base instead of the cream-based ones.
Which areas do you set this counter up in?
All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
