While Samantha and her husband, Eric, just started their business in 2025, this dream of a mobile catering cart has been in the making for years and has turned out to be more than they could have ever hoped for. Samantha created an adorable mobile catering cart they will bring to you that is temperature controlled, ensuring your food stays fresh, while not baking or getting dried out in the sun. They serve your guests the entire time from the cart, creating customizable plates and cups and making it a fun, interactive experience. Grazing Ozark offers many different locally curated menus. From a brunch bar with local pastries and jams with seasonal fruits, to a grazing bar loaded with all your favorite varieties for charcuterie, to even a dessert bar where your guests can choose their favorite toppings to add to a delicious locally sourced cake, Samantha and her team are excited to offer a fresh, interactive experience for you and your guests.“ I love working with people! We are so fortunate to have this family business and enjoy doing what we love.” If you are looking for the perfect option for your cocktail hour, bridesmaids brunch or even late night reception snack, Grazing Ozark is your go-to solution!
FAVORITE MEAL TO MAKE FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS: Whenever we host, we love making woodfired pizzas, but we also enjoy a yummy grazing table! Our kids love to snack and this is the perfect solution.
Arris Pizza is a long-time staple in the 417 area. They have had restaurants open since 1997, but began offering catering services in 2022. Jess says,“ it is so rewarding to cater a wedding and later on see them and their families dining at our storefronts.” Arris Pizza is proud of the community they have built in the Springfield area.“ We are getting to the‘ age’ now where we have customers that we have known since their childhood that are getting married and using us for catering. It ' s so fun to watch them grow up!” Pasta and pizza are the specialties at Arris Pizza. Currently they have 25 different styles of greek pizza and 10 different types of pasta on their catering menu. While these are just some of the delicacies that they have created, they also encourage their clients to create their own combinations! One of the most requested items are their unique charcuterie boards or spreads, and their variety of flavors of ooey-gooey butter cake. Jess and her team take pride in being personable, customizable, and flexible.“ Whether it be pizza, pasta, or a different style of food, we work hand in hand with the couple to create the perfect menu for their occasion. As an added benefit, the people you work with in the beginning stages are the same people that will be there the day of to serve the food to your guests."
