A St Albans pizza business has revealed all after serving slices to celebrities like Jack Wilshire and Martin Kemp.
Mozzarella Fellas, run by Adam Bailey, is a mobile pizzeria specialising in private events like weddings, birthdays and parties.
Launching in August 2020, the brand has grown from a small, family-run pop-up, to exclusively catering for private events from an impressive van.
Adam told The Herts Advertiser about a few celebrity encounters he has enjoyed since starting the business, most recently serving Luton Town manager and ex-Arsenal footballer Jack Wilshere.
"I cooked for Jack at his children's birthday party at his home, where they enjoyed a football birthday party on the artificial pitch in his garden (where Jack and the rest of the dad's played with the kids) before enjoying our pizza buffet," Adam began.
"Jack was absolutely lovely and very generous with his time, taking a break between training sessions with Luton to enjoy his kids party and come and speak with me about my business."
The former England footballer said the Holy Pepperoni pizza was "the best I've ever had" and ordered a Margherita straight after.
Prior to this, Mozzarella Fellas were invited to cook for Bafta and Golden Globe nominee, Hannah Waddingham by actress and singer Maz Murrey for Hannah's birthday party. Adam recalled the event was attended by the cast of Ted Lasso.

"The party was at a North London residence and coincided with my family holiday to Mallorca, so I flew back early, cooked pizza for them all, before flying back for my last day with my family," Adam explained.
A regular customer for the pizzeria is the Kemp family. Adam said he had been invited to cook for Harleymoon's birthday at their Hertfordshire home for the last three years.
Adam said he feels privileged to get to know the family on a "personal level" and enjoys cooking for their friends and family at parties across the South East of England.
Another sporting star being served by Mozzarella Fellas is the WBO international Champion and world title contender Sam Noakes, alongside his brother Sean. The pair have both recently signed to Frank Warren's Queensbury promotions.
Adam commented: "As a big boxing fan, it was a real treat to cook for both of these world level boxers, who were fantastic sports and genuinely lovely guys."
It's not just celebrities either, as Adam has been asked to cater for smaller independent film shoots too. The pizza maker may be on-site from 6am, disregarding his dough, instead making hot, cold and continental breakfasts.
"The staff do tend to come back for pizza at lunch with an alternative home-cooked dinner option, typically chilli con carne, later on," Adam said.
Other big names in the business' customer base include, West Ham goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, Stella McCartney, Sir Elton John, IBF light middleweight champion Josh Kelly, and Rick Astley.
