Is the truck allowed in the Antwerp low-emission zone?

We look at that per event, together with the current LEZ rules and the route to your address. If the location lies outside the zone, the LEZ plays no part. Inside the zone we agree access and the loading moment with you beforehand, so nothing has to give way on the day itself.

Where do I apply for a permit for a street party with a food truck?

With the City of Antwerp, through an application to use public space. As the organiser you submit it; we supply the truck’s technical details. When you apply, also ask what is needed if you want to close the street for the party.

Can the truck stand in a port car park without connections?

Yes. We have water, refrigeration, worktops and wood on board, so we need no electricity or tap. A level, paved spot with room to turn the truck is enough. Do give us the right entrance gate, though, because port sites often have several entrances and a barrier.

What if the truck can’t reach my city garden?

Then we build a tent in the garden itself, four by four or three by three metres, with the same wood-fired oven. What matters is a clear access about two and a half metres wide to bring the equipment in. If there isn’t one, we look together at an alternative spot.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Antwerp

Hire a pizza food truck in Antwerp

A pizza food truck in Antwerp takes more than a good-looking truck: you need to know where it can stand, how it gets into the city and when loading is allowed. We do that homework together with you, so the wood-fired oven is burning on time.

LEZ and loading zones

We check beforehand how the low-emission zone and the loading options are arranged at your address, so the truck reaches its pitch without surprises.

Port car parks and warehouses

Around the docks and on company sites there is often enough room. The truck stands on paved ground there, handy for a client day or staff party.

Compact when needed

In a courtyard in the Zuid district or in Zurenborg a truck doesn’t always fit. In that case we switch to a compact set-up with a tent and the same oven.

Where the truck can stand in the city

Antwerp is a city of contrasts, and you notice it in the pitches. On the Eilandje and along the Scheldt quays there is often space, but also plenty of walkers and cyclists; there we agree a fixed arrival time. On Nieuw Zuid and around the old docks there are new business buildings with spacious squares. In Berchem, Zurenborg or the Zuid the streets are narrower and the branches hang lower.

For an event on a street or square, you apply to the City of Antwerp for a permit to use public space. Do it in good time, because the city handles many applications. We give you the technical sheet with the truck’s dimensions and weight, so your file is complete in one go. On a private car park or company site you don’t need a permit.

Corporate events between docks and offices

Countless companies are based around the port, and you can see it in the number of team parties and client days held there. A truck with a burning wood-fired oven on a site among containers and cranes makes an impression precisely because it is so unexpected. Colleagues step up, get a fresh slice of pizza and stay on for a chat with people from another department.

For events like this we work with a fixed menu of six to ten varieties, baked at a brisk pace. More than a hundred and fifty people? Then a second baking station comes along. An office building in the inner city without its own car park also qualifies: we then look together for a spot in a courtyard or a private zone nearby.

City parties on a smaller scale

Not every Antwerp party is big. A birthday in a city garden in Wilrijk, a street party on a closed-off street in Borgerhout, the opening of a studio in Zurenborg: there too the pizza can be Neapolitan and fresh. If the truck can’t reach the back of the house, we switch to a tent set-up: the oven is the same wood-fired one, and the dough has still had its two to three days to rise.

Because the oven runs on wood, it always needs outdoor air, even in the middle of the city. A roof terrace or a courtyard open to the sky is enough. We arrive about an hour and a half beforehand to set everything up and leave a clean spot after the service, with the waste going back in the truck.
