The Urban Epicurean
I set up right where the fun is and love to share my passion and knowledge of food with others. I am 100% mobile (without the truck) and bring my portable pizza station to you - where ever you are. Each "Neapolitan" style pizza is handcrafted and baked live on-site using the most fresh and quality ingredients. I use only the most natural and freshest ingredients and believe the quality of the ingredients I use can turn even the simplest meal into something sensational.
Services
Before launching The Urban Epicurean (originally established out of Boston), Tony had a successful career in National radio sales, but left it all to pursue his passion for cooking and attend Cambridge Culinary school. During that time, Tony also appeared on national television on the Fox network's series premiere of Gordon Ramsay's reality cooking show "MasterChef" and finished as a top 10 finalist.
Making pizza has become my true labor of love. But I don't want to make just any pizza. I want to make you the best pizza you have ever had. I have spent the better part of the last three years perfecting my process and now offer two styles of pizza, a fire roasted "Neapolitan style" and a "Pizzeria Style".
Allow me to serve as your exclusive "Pizza Man" to create a fun and memorable experience at your next celebration or event. Each "Neapolitan" style pizza is handcrafted, prepared and baked live on site using only the freshest ingredients. No crowd is too big. Due to the high efficiency of my small pizza ovens, I can fire up pizzas quickly and can ensure each pie will be consistent and full of flavor.

Tony came to our fundraiser loaded with enthusiasm and good cheer! Along with his upbeat and pleasant personality, he works clean , organized and the pizza is delicious. He brings his homemade dough and special combo of toppings and cooks until everyone is full! Since our guests had just completed a 64 mile bike ride, they were ready to eat and drink and he did not disappoint! I’ll definitely hire him for our event next year but, in the mean time, am looking for another reason to have him at another party!

Tony is professional, very personable and goes out of his way to be accommodating to make sure your experience is the best it can be within your venue. We had to move our location at the last minute because of Hurricane Elsa. With everything else we had to do to regroup, I was beyond grateful that the one thing we did not have to worry about was the food! Tony reassured us he would be there and would make it work. In the end the sun came out, the pizza’s were delicious and plentiful and Tony was awesome. Every single person at our event raved about the pizza and wanted to know where we found

We can't Tony /Urban Epicurean enough for the delicious pizza he prepared and served for our party! As the hosts, you made a small engagement party stress-free! Tony arrived early, had everything set up and was ready to begin as soon as we were ready! Everyone LOVED the pizza! And I mean, EVERYONE! All you could hear from everyone was "Oh my goodness, this is sooooo good!" and "I am so full but I'm still going to have another piece!" I highly recommend Urban Epicurean for it's wonderful, personal service and high quality, delicious pizza! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

I don't think I can ever cook/serve at my parties again!! Tony made this way too delicious and easy to even try! Our guests were gushing about "what a great idea this was", "how amazing every bite was", "how nice Tony was"! On and on. Hiring Tony for my son's grad party was the best move!! Thank you, Tony!!

Tony Carbone was AWESOME at my husband's birthday/retirement party. All of the guests, especially the foodies, loved his oven baked pizza.

We are in a condo and used the yard in back of our building.

He brought a great deal of fun and laughter, in addition to great food, to our party. Thank you Tony!

We held a small baptism for our son and having Tony come and prepare his delicious pizzas was exactly what we needed to complete a perfect day. Not only was Tony incredibly personable, but he had my family fed within the first 10 minutes of us arriving home and it was absolutely delicious! The dough is so light that you (me) could try every pizza and still go back for seconds- which everyone did. It was such a fun twist on the day and truly what I was most looking forward to. We cannot wait to have Tony back for another event! He was so easy to work with and just a pleasure to have with us that

Tony is amazing! We had Tony join us for a holiday party for our small company and it was truly the best holiday party we've ever had! He was personable, prompt, funny and of course, the pizza was excellent. There was so much pizza as well, we were all stuffed by the end! We had so much fun and I hope we get to have Tony join us again next year. Thanks for the best evening!!

Wow! Tony joined our family and friends for a housewarming/birthday celebration and his pizza was an absolute highlight! Tony’s set up was incredibly thoughtful and professional. In addition to the phenomenal pizza Tony also brought two amazing salads which were equally as good! Tony fired up pizzas for 12 adults and 10 kids effortlessly. He entertained the adults and children alike by showing us how to make the pizzas and sharing stories of how he’s perfected his recipe over the last two years. Tony does it all and it made hosting a party at our home a dream! I would highly recommend inviting

Tony's pizza is SO GOOD, and it was really fun and interesting to talk to him about how long it's taken him to perfect his recipes. His pizza is fresh, light and delicious. I can't wait to have him over for an in-home pizza party with my friends!

Tony is a great guy and a great chef. He made pizzas for an outdoor party and was a hit!! He is very personable and his pizza is top notch. Amazing ingredients and serves those who are gluten free and those with other allergies. He is a MUST try

We recently had a pizza party with Tony Carbone--Urban Epicurean--and it was amazing! Tony is a pleasure to work with, and our guests loved watching him work and being a part of the process. The pizza is simply scrumptious! So fresh and delicious, with a light crust that manages to be crispy and just the right amount of chewy. Truly the best pizza I've ever eaten! One of the best parts about the experience, is that fresh pizzas arrive every few minutes--always hot and delicious. This is a real bonus at a long cocktail party! Truly a great service--perfect for backyard parties, family reunions,

I've been eating Tony's food for years, so I was very excited when he announced that he would be adding in-home pizza making classes to his repertoire of culinary delights. I love me some good pizza, and his pizza is GOOD! The pizza making class itself is a lot of fun, and you come away with it both with more knowledge and, just as importantly, some very tasty pizza.

Besides being an awesome chef, Tony is delight to be around. He's very funny, warm and endearing.

I wish I lived closer so that I could book Tony more often (I'm jealous of all you Bostonians!), but I'm

Tony! THANK YOU! You're the best!!

My Dad reached out to Tony - The Urban Epicurean - in order to surprise me with an amazing birthday gift: A private meal prepared in my own home by a personal chef. What a great gift!

Tony was awesome from go! He reached out to discuss menu ideas, preferences and options with my husband and I, and went to work creating an amazing menu based on seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. Everything was fresh and delicious, from the scallops in a light beurre blanc, to the fresh halibut and mango salsa, to one of my favorite desserts - pot au creme. My husband

The Urban Epicurean far exceeded my expectations. What a night.

Tony is an OUTSTANDING chef who creates a special atmosphere for you and your guests. His menu is thoughtfully prepared, customized to your preferences, and prepared right in front of you with the absolute freshest ingredients. Think about it, when was the last time you sat in your kitchen with a glass of wine while a professionally-trained chef personally prepares dinner for you and your guests? Or, hang out in the other room while he makes the meal in the kitchen (but then you're missing all of the fun).

He'll talk

Tony, Thank you so much for making Susie's baby shower so special! From planning and preparing the food & drinks - to running the class so that the guests all had a dinner to take home - to helping me find the perfect gift (3 dinners after the baby comes) you made this such a unique, fun and easy event! I couldn't have done it without you. The crab cakes and mac and cheese bites were addictive and personally I loved the kick in the watermelon tomato gazpacho. My sister even called this morning just to tell me just how incredible the lasagna was (light, not too much cheese). You are
