We booked Angelo’s catering for our wedding reception and couldn’t be happier with the result. The planning and payment processes were easy and Randi worked with us to find the best package for our event. We went with their Taco buffet and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food!
Lorran PowellOctober 2025
Angelo’s catered my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding and did a great job! The food was really good, and they even helped clear tables, which was a nice surprise. Great food and service all around! Pork chops were our favorite and they had a great homemade ranch dressing.
Maddie BrownAugust 2025
They set up our food quickly, cleaned all plates from tables, and even left us food at the reception in case we got hungry later! … I highly recommend using Angelo’s catering for your next event. These people know what they’re doing.

Our roots run deep

A family tradition.
A fresh chapter.

Our story begins at Angelo’s Pizza, a Christian County staple since 1965. We started catering in 2010, bringing that same love of homemade food to the events table.

In 2017 we expanded into our new commercial catering kitchen — a dedicated home for banquets, weddings, and gatherings of every size.
