CBO 750 Tailgater: The Ultimate Mobile Pizza Oven for Catering & Events

If your pizza business travels to weddings, private parties, festivals, corporate events, or other venues, a fixed pizza oven can limit where you can serve. A mobile pizza oven gives you another option: take your cooking setup with you.

The CBO 750 Tailgater is a trailer-mounted pizza oven designed for mobile catering and event businesses. It features a 38" × 28" cooking surface, can accommodate 2–3 10-inch pizzas at a time, and is listed by Chicago Brick Oven with a production capacity of approximately 50–60 pizzas per hour.

The Tailgater is available with Wood and Liquid Propane (LP) fuel options, while Hybrid Tailgater configurations have also been available through CBO's dealer network.

That flexibility makes the Tailgater relevant to different types of mobile pizza businesses, from operators who want a traditional wood-fired experience to businesses looking for a gas-powered option or a combination of both.

This guide explains how the CBO 750 Tailgater works, who it is designed for, how its fuel configurations differ, and what to consider before adding a mobile pizza oven to your catering business.

What Is the CBO 750 Tailgater?

Shop Now

The CBO 750 Tailgater is a trailer-mounted mobile pizza oven designed to be transported between venues.

Unlike a stationary outdoor pizza oven, the Tailgater is built around a trailer configuration, allowing a catering or mobile food business to take its pizza operation from one event to another.

It is part of CBO's mobile oven lineup and is intended for businesses where mobility is an important part of the service model.

The Tailgater can be particularly useful for:

Wedding and private-event caterers
Mobile pizza businesses
Corporate event caterers
Festival and farmers-market vendors
Restaurants offering off-site catering
Event and equipment rental businesses

The key distinction is simple:

A Tailgater is designed to travel between venues, not simply to be repositioned around one location.

What Fuel Options Are Available for the CBO 750 Tailgater?

The CBO 750 Tailgater is not limited to one fuel configuration.

CBO provides Wood and Liquid Propane (LP) fuel selections.
Hybrid Tailgater configurations are also available through CBO's dealer network.

This gives mobile pizza businesses different ways to approach their cooking operation.

Fuel Configuration	What It Offers	Potential Fit
Wood-Fired	Traditional wood-fired cooking experience	Caterers who want wood-fired cooking and visible flame to be part of the experience
LP Gas	Gas-powered cooking option	Businesses looking for a different operational approach to mobile pizza service
Hybrid	Wood and gas capability	Businesses wanting the flexibility of both fuel types when available

Because configurations and availability can change, confirm the current fuel options and specifications with CBO or an authorized dealer before ordering.

Wood-Fired Tailgater

The Wood-Fired configuration is designed for businesses that want the traditional wood-fired cooking experience to be part of their service.

For a wedding, private party, festival, or other event, the oven can become more than a cooking appliance. The live cooking process can also become part of the guest experience.

LP Gas Tailgater

The LP Gas configuration provides a gas-powered option for businesses that want to incorporate a propane-fueled oven into their mobile operation.

This can be worth considering when evaluating your service workflow, fuel logistics, and the type of events you typically cater.

Hybrid Tailgater

A Hybrid Tailgater combines wood and gas capability.
If this configuration is suitable for your business, please check current availability and specifications with CBO (or your dealer).

CBO 750 Tailgater Specifications at a Glance

CBO offers several specifications that are particularly relevant to mobile catering businesses:

Specification	CBO 750 Tailgater
Oven type	Mobile, trailer-mounted pizza oven
Cooking surface	38" × 28"
Pizza capacity	2–3 10" pizzas at a time
Stated production capacity	50–60 pizzas per hour
Fuel options	Wood, Liquid Propane (LP)
Hybrid option	Available through dealer network when offered
Primary use	Mobile catering and events

Stated production capacity is a reference point rather than a guarantee of output at every event. Actual production can depend on pizza size, preparation workflow, operator experience, oven management, fuel configuration, and service conditions.

Who Is the CBO 750 Tailgater Designed For?

The Tailgater makes the most sense for businesses where the ability to travel with the cooking equipment is part of the business model.

Catering Companies

Caterers can bring pizza service directly to weddings, private parties, corporate events, and other bookings.

Mobile Pizza Businesses

If your business operates at multiple locations rather than from one permanent storefront, a trailer-mounted oven can become the center of your mobile operation.

Restaurants Expanding Into Off-Site Events

A restaurant can use a mobile oven to extend its existing food concept to festivals, private events, corporate functions, and other off-site opportunities.

Festival and Farmers-Market Vendors

Recurring outdoor events can provide opportunities for mobile pizza operators to serve customers without establishing a permanent kitchen at every location.

Event and Equipment Rental Companies

Companies involved in event services may also consider a mobile pizza oven as part of their equipment or catering offering.

Why Choose a Trailer-Mounted Pizza Oven?

A mobile pizza oven can solve a very specific business problem: how to provide pizza service at multiple locations without building a permanent kitchen at every venue.

Instead of transporting a standalone oven and creating a new setup for every event, a trailer-mounted system provides a dedicated mobile cooking platform.

The Tailgater can therefore be particularly useful when your business regularly moves between venues.

However, mobility also creates additional operational considerations.

You need to think about:

Towing
Vehicle compatibility
Licensing requirements
Venue access
Setup and teardown
Fuel logistics
Staffing
Permits and insurance
Event scheduling

A mobile oven should therefore be evaluated as part of your complete catering operation not just as an oven purchase.

CBO 750 Tailgater vs. Mobile Cart

The Tailgater and a mobile pizza oven cart are designed for different types of mobility.

Feature	CBO 750 Tailgater	Mobile Cart
Primary mobility	Between venues	Around a site
Transport	Trailer/towing setup	Cart-based movement
Best suited to	Mobile catering and event businesses	Businesses needing on-site repositioning
Typical use	Weddings, festivals, private events, multi-location bookings	Commercial or event locations where the oven needs to move within the site
Main advantage	Transportation between locations	On-site flexibility

If your business needs to travel from one venue to another, the Tailgater's trailer format is the key advantage.

If you only need to move an oven around a single property or event location, a mobile cart may be a more appropriate type of setup.

Real-World Uses for the CBO 750 Tailgater

Wedding Catering

A mobile pizza oven can become both a cooking station and an interactive food experience at weddings.

The Tailgater allows a catering company to bring the pizza operation directly to the venue instead of relying on a permanent kitchen.

Private Parties

Backyard celebrations and private events can benefit from mobile pizza catering when there is no permanent pizza oven available at the venue.

Corporate Events

Pizza catering can work well for employee events, customer gatherings, company celebrations, and other corporate functions.

Festivals and Farmers Markets

Mobile pizza businesses can use the Tailgater at recurring outdoor events where equipment needs to move from one location to another.

Restaurant Off-Site Events

Restaurants can use mobile pizza equipment to take their menu or brand experience beyond their primary location.

Planning Your Mobile Pizza Catering Setup

Buying the oven is only one part of building a mobile pizza business.

1. Estimate Your Event Volume

Start by looking at how many events you realistically expect to serve.

Consider:

Events per month
Expected guests per event
Average pizzas per guest
Service duration
Travel distance
Setup and teardown time

This helps you determine whether owning a dedicated trailer makes sense for your business.

2. Choose the Fuel Configuration

Consider how you want your operation to work.

Choose Wood-Fired if:

The traditional wood-fired experience is important to your brand.
Visible flame and live cooking are part of the customer experience.
You are comfortable managing wood as part of your event workflow.

Consider LP Gas if:

You want a gas-powered configuration.
Propane fits your event logistics.
You want to build your workflow around an LP fuel setup.

Consider Hybrid if:

You want both wood and gas capability.
Your business model benefits from fuel flexibility.
The Hybrid Tailgater configuration is currently available through CBO's dealer network.

Towing and Transportation Considerations

A trailer-mounted oven introduces transportation requirements that don't apply to a stationary oven.

Before purchasing, confirm:

Your Tow Vehicle

Make sure the vehicle you intend to use is appropriate for the trailer configuration you are purchasing.

Trailer Specifications

Confirm the exact trailer dimensions, weight, hitch requirements, and other specifications with CBO or your dealer.

These details can vary by configuration and are important for safe and compliant transportation.

Licensing

Towing and trailer requirements can vary by state and may depend on factors such as trailer weight and vehicle configuration.

Check the applicable requirements in your state before operating the trailer.

Venue Access

A trailer may need adequate access to reach the intended cooking location.

Before booking an event, consider:

Entrance width
Driveway access
Parking restrictions
Surface conditions
Setup location
Distance from the vehicle-access point to the service area

Permits, Insurance and Venue Requirements

Mobile food operations can involve requirements beyond the equipment itself.

Depending on the location and type of event, you may need to consider:

Food-service requirements
Fire-safety requirements
Open-flame restrictions
Business licensing
Insurance documentation
Event-specific permits
Venue rules

Requirements vary by location and event, so verify them with the relevant authorities and venue before each booking.

Do not assume that approval at one event automatically applies to another location.

Staffing a Mobile Pizza Operation

A successful mobile pizza service needs an efficient workflow.

Depending on the size of the event, responsibilities may include:

Dough preparation
Topping pizzas
Managing the oven
Launching and rotating pizzas
Removing finished pizzas
Cutting and serving
Taking orders
Managing supplies
Cleaning and teardown

For higher-volume events, assigning a dedicated oven operator can help keep cooking and service organized.

Accessories and Tools for Mobile Pizza Catering

The oven is the centerpiece, but a mobile pizza operation also needs the right supporting equipment.

Depending on your service model, consider:

Pizza peels
Pizza-cutting tools
Prep equipment
Storage containers
Protective covers
Serving equipment
Cleaning tools
Fuel-storage equipment appropriate to your configuration

CBO also offers accessories and pizza-making tools that can be used to support a pizza operation.

Choose accessories based on the exact Tailgater configuration and how the equipment will be transported and used.

How to Start Using a CBO 750 Tailgater for Your Business

Step 1: Define Your Business Model

Determine whether you are primarily serving:

Weddings
Private parties
Corporate events
Festivals
Farmers markets
Restaurant events
Multiple types of bookings

Step 2: Estimate Your Required Capacity

Use your expected event volume and guest count to estimate how much pizza you need to produce during a typical service.

The CBO 750 Tailgater is listed with a 38" × 28" cooking surface and a stated capacity of 2–3 10-inch pizzas at a time.

Step 3: Select Your Fuel Configuration

Choose between Wood, LP Gas, or a Hybrid configuration if currently available.

Step 4: Confirm Transportation Requirements

Check your vehicle, trailer specifications, towing requirements, and applicable licensing.

Step 5: Check Venue Requirements

Ask each venue about access, open-flame rules, permits, insurance, and equipment restrictions.

Step 6: Build Your Operating Kit

Prepare your pizza tools, ingredients, prep equipment, serving equipment, and cleaning supplies.

Step 7: Run a Practice Event

Before your first major paid event, run a complete test.

Measure:

Setup time
Pre-service preparation
Cooking workflow
Pizza output
Staffing requirements
Fuel usage
Teardown time
Transportation process

A practice event can reveal bottlenecks before they affect a customer booking.

Choose from different fuel configurations
Extend an existing restaurant or catering brand to off-site events

Venue permits and insurance may be required
Requires setup and teardown planning

Expert Tips for Mobile Pizza Catering

Test the Entire Process

Don't test only how quickly you can cook a pizza.

Test the entire event workflow:

Arrival → Setup → Preheat → Prep → Cooking → Serving → Cleanup → Teardown → Departure

This gives you a realistic picture of how much time and staffing each booking requires.

Build a Buffer Between Events

If you're operating multiple events in one day, don't schedule bookings back-to-back without allowing enough time for travel, setup, service, and teardown.

A delay at one event can affect every booking that follows.

Plan Your Fuel Logistics

Your fuel choice affects how you prepare for events.

Make sure you understand what your selected configuration requires and plan your fuel supply around the expected duration and volume of service.

Confirm Product Configuration Before Ordering

The Tailgater's available configurations can change, and Hybrid availability may be handled through the dealer network.

Confirm the exact configuration, specifications, and availability with CBO or your authorized dealer before making a purchasing decision.
