The Story

A Family Joke That Turned Into A Pizza Obsession

The Crust Monster started at home.

Whenever pizza was made, the kids would leave their crusts behind. Dad could never walk past a perfectly good crust without picking it up, having a nibble and quietly working his way around the leftovers.

The nickname stuck: The Crust Monster.

What started as a family joke slowly fermented into a proper obsession with pizza dough, flavour and the perfect puffy crust. Pizza has always been a love of mine. I even worked in a small Italian restaurant as a teenager, washing dishes and soaking up the atmosphere.

And when I get into something, I get into it properly.

That meant learning dough, experimenting with fermentation, using a restaurant-grade oven at home and chasing the kind of light, airy crust that makes Neapolitan-style pizza so addictive.

Now The Crust Monster brings that same passion to small events: family parties, birthdays, garden gatherings and relaxed celebrations where the pizzas can be served hot, fresh and made with care.

There’s a Crust Monster inside us all — especially the dads hovering near the kids’ plates waiting for the crusts.

Why Us

Small Events. Serious Dough. Big Crust Energy.

The Crust Monster is built for smaller events done properly. No huge catering machine, no overcomplicated packages and no hidden costs — just freshly cooked Neapolitan-style pizzas, served hot from a gas-fired oven.

Traditional Biga Dough

The dough is made using a traditional Biga pre-ferment, giving it time to develop deeper flavour, better texture and a lighter, airier crust.

Long Proving Time

Great pizza starts long before it hits the oven. Slow fermentation helps create that soft, digestible base and puffy cornicione that makes Neapolitan-style pizza special.

Gas-Fired High-Heat Bake

The pizzas are cooked hot and fast in a gas-fired oven, creating bubbling cheese, blistered edges and those beautiful leopard spots.

Built For Smaller Events

Right now, The Crust Monster is focused on events of around 10–30 pizzas. That means a more personal setup, a relaxed service and pizzas cooked with attention.

No Hidden Costs

Clear pricing, simple booking and honest expectations from the start. You will know what is included before anything is confirmed.

The Goods

Puffy Crusts. Fast Bakes. Proper Flavour.

Every pizza is cooked fresh on site using Neapolitan-style methods: long-proved dough, a hot gas-fired oven, simple ingredients and a crust worth fighting over.

Expect soft, airy bases, bubbling fior di latte, rich tomato sauce and the kind of crust that disappears even when everyone says they are full.

Pizza Words

The Crust Monster Glossary

A few traditional pizza terms explained, so you know exactly what to expect from a Neapolitan-style pizza.

Neapolitan-Style

Inspired by the traditional pizzas of Naples: soft, light, fast-cooked pizzas with a puffy crust, simple toppings and a slightly charred finish. Mine are Neapolitan-style rather than claiming to be made in Naples.

Biga

A traditional Italian pre-ferment made with flour, water and yeast. It ferments before being added to the final dough, helping create deeper flavour, better texture and a lighter crust.

Cornicione

The raised outer crust of the pizza. For The Crust Monster, this is the main event: puffy, airy, lightly charred and impossible to leave behind.

Leopard Spotting

The small dark spots you see on the crust after a high-heat bake. They add flavour, texture and that proper Neapolitan-style look.

Fior Di Latte

A mild, creamy mozzarella made from cow’s milk. It melts beautifully and gives that classic Neapolitan-style pizza finish.

San Marzano Tomatoes

A prized variety of Italian plum tomato often used for pizza sauce because of its rich flavour, natural sweetness and low acidity.

Questions

FAQ

Where are you based?

The Crust Monster is based near NN12 8RS and currently covers around a 45-minute radius.

What kind of events do you cater for?

Small events are the focus at the moment: family gatherings, birthdays, garden parties, relaxed celebrations and private events needing around 10–30 pizzas.

How many pizzas should I order?

As a rough guide, allow 1 pizza per person if pizza is the main food. If there is other catering, around 1/2 to 2/3 of a pizza per person may be enough. A spread of pizzas usually works best, with a variety of choices for people to share.

What do you need on the day?

I need power, a flat outdoor space and parking nearby. I can provide a table and paper plates if needed.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Bad weather is usually fine. I can bring a pop-up gazebo, as long as there is a suitable area to cook safely and somewhere inside to set the pizzas out.

How long does setup take?

I usually arrive around 60 minutes before service to prep, set up and get the oven heated.

How long does service take?

Service usually takes around 90 minutes, depending on the number of pizzas and the event setup.

How far ahead should I book?

Booking at least 6 weeks ahead is recommended, but feel free to check availability even if your event is sooner. I’ll do my best to work around your date.

Do you offer vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan options are possible with notice.

Do you offer gluten-free pizzas?

I do not currently make gluten-free bases in-house, but gluten-free bases can be sourced with enough notice.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. A 50% deposit is required upfront to secure your booking.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel for free up to 2 weeks before the event. If you cancel less than 2 weeks before the event, the 50% deposit is non-refundable. The final balance is due 1 week before the event.
