The truck arrived on time, setup was fast and easy for us. They worked with us when we had a delay in our Wedding venue. Staff was very pleasant, helpful and guests raved about how fast and accommodating they were. The pizza and sides were top notch! We had a wedding of 80 guests and the whole experience was very hands off from our end! Awesome experience, Thank you, Team DC Slices!

We had nothing but positive reviews from everyone that had pizza from the Pizza Assurda food truck! They arrived on time and set up very quickly.

It wasn't bad. Just not my favorite. Maybe a bit more hot honey and 2 minutes longer cook on the pizza. Probably personal preference. Not a complaint.
