"Aneesh and the team from Cascadia were awesome to work with. They even provided us with flyers to post around our community, which was a nice touch. They offered plenty of pizza options to choose from, including gluten-free options, and our residents loved having the pizza truck come out. Thank you!"

"Great food, amazing hospitality, and everything in between. The one-star deduction isn’t because one of the two food trucks arrived slightly late, but because communication with the administrative office was very difficult, especially as the event date approached."
