Pizza Paddock originated on a cold snowy day at the Edinburgh winter market in 2017.
The concept was simple. To create quality artisan pizzas using where possible ingredients from local suppliers and cooked in wood fired ovens.
Personally as an avid pizza lover myself I love the simplicity and versatility of pizza. There are so many combinations of toppings you can use that you are bound to find one you will like, although for me the simple the better.
After a few trials and pizza parties with our newly purchased Unni pizza oven we then purchased a double horse trailer through in Ayrshire.
With over 20 years in the food industry I know Scotland is a fantastic larder for quality food, and with East Lothian in particular on the door step it would be a shame not to use its local ingredients.
The bases are hand made using flour from Mungoswells produced just outside Haddington in East Lothian. Alison has been great in assisting our venture. Our bases are all double proved, which takes a bit longer but gives you a deeper flavour and better texture.
The mozzarella is produced from Yester Farm Dairies in East Lothian. Like Mungoswells a family run business that produces excellent mozzarella from milk produced on its own farm.
Ali i’ve known personally for years so there was only one place i was going to get all the fruit and vegetables from – Capital Wholesalers in Edinburgh . Ali buys his produce daily so supplies only the freshest produce.
As well as having good raw materials for the other components of the pizza, for me the tomato sauce is the key to a good pizza. Our sauce is cooked over several hours which i feel develops flavour.
The vision is to bring artisan pizzas to weddings, parties, gala days, fetes, shooting lunches and private events. If you have a particular preference for a topping please feel free to speak with us as we can fully customise the menu for any event.
Pizza Paddock catered the daytime at our wedding and all of our guests loved the pizza!! Everyone was raving about how good the food was, myself and my husband included. Enoch was super friendly and communicative leading up to the wedding and amazing at helping us with dietary requirements and allergies, which our guests and us really appreciated. When we had a few guests unable to make it and therefore pizzas left over, Enoch kindly offered to make us up a selection and leave them in boxes for us to have later - we were very grateful for these when tidying the venue up the next day. Thank you again, we would absolutely recommend 10/10 ⭐️
We used pizza paddock for our evening buffet at our wedding!
We could not recommend them enough!
They went over and above what I expected to make the event perfect. From contacting the venue themselves and keeping me in the loop with emails and communication!
But most importantly, the pizzas were amazing! We had so many complaints from our guests on the day!
Really hope we get a chance to use them again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enoch and Yvonne were fantastic! Lovely to deal with and outstanding pizza! Thank you so much! Would thoroughly recommend!!
