Ricotta Bear catering

Sourdough pizza, made slowly, for people you like.

Ricotta Bear started with naturally leavened sourdough pizza, and it is still at the heart of every event. Based in LA and Orange County, and happy to travel anywhere from San Diego to Santa Barbara.

Private events

We bring a full menu to your event, and we are always happy to make something that is not on it.

For smaller groups, we have everything needed for a seated dinner party.

The Garden Party Series

A dinner party series we hosted in our home, where people came to enjoy a home-cooked meal with friends and make new ones. These were special evenings: fifteen total strangers would come together, make friends, and you would hear laughter all night long.

No time limit, no bill at the end, no decisions to make, just coming for a good time. Soft jazz played in the background, with cocktails, wine and a full menu. Truly special evenings.

How it works

  1. Tell me about it. Date, rough headcount, where, and what you are picturing. The form below takes two minutes.
  2. We sort the details. I reply within a few days with what is possible, a menu, and a quote.
  3. I start the dough. Two days before, the dough goes in the fridge. That part is not negotiable.
  4. Pizza. I show up, I cook, you eat.

Make the pizza yourself

Ask about a date

A private event, a dinner party, or just an idea: reach out. The more you tell me, the easier it is to say yes.
