Our Story...
... is about two people who are passionate about ridiculously good food, who found their joy in life (Pizza!) and who want to share it with everyone they possibly can. That's us - Danni Bleil & Tom Baril. We're like old friends you haven't met yet.
The idea for Polpo Pizza Company was born from our desire to craft simple, great-tasting food that resonates with who we are, and from our desire to do something creative together in our new community. We knew we wanted to create something unique and memorable and we both agreed these things would be paramount in our new venture:
Always be authentic and true to who we are, no matter what.
Create a stellar product - no shortcuts or bad stuff, ever.
Partner with local farmers and businesses so that we all eat good and do good for our local economy.
Create an experience that people want to be a part of and tell their friends about.
Be active members of our community and give back.
Create jobs that pay honest wages and be a place you want to work.
Treat the planet right.
And so ... we hope you enjoy our story through pizza. One piping hot, perfectly charred (it's not burnt!), melt-in-your-mouth bite at a time.
Enjoy the Slice Life!
Have Us Cater Your Next Greatest Party Ever.
Want to wow your family, friends, or co-workers with a one-of-a kind event? Imagine treating your guests to the sights and smells of a crackling wood fire, bubbling hot pizza and the aroma of fresh garlic wafting through the air...
For centuries, the wood-fired oven has been the center of community - a place where exceptional food memories are made. Polpo Pizza Company's mission is to create that same sense of community through the time-honored tradition of Napoli style pizza made right before your eyes, using nothing but the best ingredients.
When we roll up to your event in our vintage '51 farm truck, outfitted with an Italian wood burning oven, beer and wine taps, and ambient lighting, we transform your party into that communal place.
When we roll out, your guests will leave with more than just full bellies. They'll leave having made new friends, and with the feeling that they’ve just participated in something unique, something memorable, and above all, something tasty!
Polpo Pizza Company is not just a food truck or an ordinary pizza caterer. We provide a unique interactive dining experience that is rustic yet modern, fresh yet nostalgic, and one your guests will not soon forget.
Want to get us at your next event? It's easy. Send us an INQUIRY, and someone will get right back to you.
“For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.”
Have a look at some of the awesome local craft brews and splendid tap/keg wines we offer.
Unfamiliar with keg wine? Our stainless steel keg system uses an inert gas to push the wine through the lines, protecting it from oxidation and cork taint. The result is a winery-fresh glass of wine every time. Keg wine is gaining in popularity and is great not only for quality and variety, but also for the environment, since it eliminates the glass, cork and labeling of bottled wine. Now that's some feel-good wine!
Please note, actual selections will vary based on availability.
The Polpo Pizza Truck is available Tuesday - Sunday for lunch or dinner. When we're not catering private events, you can find us around town at local taprooms and community events.
