Feeding a crowd is what square-cut pizza was born for: it travels well, holds its crisp, and stretches further than wedge cuts. J. Burns’ has fed Polk County’s spirit nights, team dinners, and office lunches since 1965 — from three shops, with gluten-free crusts so nobody sits out.
A J. Burns\u2019 tradition. Pick a date with your shop, rally your community, and dinner does the fundraising.
Post-game hunger is a serious opponent. Square-cut pies mean more pieces per pizza — crispy corners, cheesy middles, no fighting over slices.
Pizzas for the group, fresh subs for the sandwich people, salads for the salad people. One pickup, everyone fed.
Birthdays, reunions, game days. Order ahead online, pick it up on the way, and spend your time with people.
Slide your headcount, pick the appetite level, and we’ll rough out an order. It’s the same rule of thumb we use in-shop — one large 16" square-cut pizza feeds 4–5 adults — and your crew will fine-tune it when you call or order.
Rough out your order with the calculator above — pizzas, subs, salads, wings, and gluten-free counts.
Edgewood, South Florida Ave, or Winter Haven — the crew confirms sizes, timing, and anything special.
Boxed, labeled, and ready at your pickup time. Square-cut pizza holds its crisp on the ride.
Yes — J. Burns’ handles group and event orders from all three shops: Lakeland Edgewood Drive, Lakeland South Florida Ave, and Winter Haven on Cypress Gardens Blvd. Square-cut pizza travels well, holds up, and stretches further than wedge-cut pies.
Pick a date with your nearest shop, spread the word to your school or church community, and families come in (or order for pickup) on your night. Spirit nights are a J. Burns’ tradition — call your shop to get one on the calendar.
The rule of thumb we use in-shop: about one pizza for every two to three adults, more if it’s the only food, fewer if you’re adding subs and salads. Use the party calculator on this page for a quick estimate, then call your shop.
Yes — this matters more at group events than anywhere else. Both of our gluten-free crusts (rice flour and cauliflower, 10½ inches) are made for guests with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, so the one gluten-free person at your party gets real pizza.
For most team dinners and office lunches, a day’s notice is plenty. For spirit nights, large events, or anything over a dozen pizzas, call your shop a few days ahead so we can schedule oven time.
Group orders are prepared for pickup at your chosen shop — boxed, labeled, and ready at your pickup time. Call your shop to talk through the logistics for larger events.
Three shops across Lakeland and Winter Haven, one standard since 1965. Call your nearest shop or order online for pickup.
