Hire a pizza food truck in Ixelles
At a glance
Honest advice upfront
Not every street in Ixelles suits a truck. We tell you beforehand, and if needed suggest the compact oven in a tent.
Street party with character
A closed street with a blazing wood-fired oven in a truck brings the whole neighbourhood together, from the top floor to the corner shop.
Independent of the houses
Water, cooling, worktops and wood all arrive on the truck. Nobody has to hang a cable out of a window or share a tap.
Where a truck fits in Ixelles
Ixelles consists largely of nineteenth-century streets with terraced houses, parked cars on both sides and little open space. Parking a food truck in the middle of an ordinary street is therefore seldom possible. Still, there are good spots: a street closed for a neighbourhood party, the inner courtyard of an office building or gallery, the car park of a school or campus.
In such places the truck becomes a showpiece. The wood-fired oven glows behind the glass, the smell of fresh pizza draws people in, and the queue becomes a place where neighbours or colleagues meet. If there is too little room after all, we set up the wood-fired oven in a tent that fits through a narrower passage.
Street party in Ixelles: permit and arrangements
A street party in Ixelles starts at the town hall: there, as organiser, you request the permit to use public space, together with the other arrangements for your street party. We supply a sheet with our truck’s dimensions and weight, so the municipality knows exactly how much room needs to be reserved.
The truck also has to be able to get into the street. Tight corners, overhanging balconies and low branches can be a problem. We also factor in the Brussels low-emission zone and the limited parking space. We ask for photos of the street and the surrounding junctions and plan together the moment at which we can drive in, often before the street fills up.
Pace for neighbours and colleagues
A street party or company event in Ixelles often draws more people than expected. So we set the truck up for speed, with a short menu of recognisable flavours. Vegetarian pizzas are always included; vegan and gluten-free versions we make on request, separately from the rest. Once diners number upwards of 150, a second baking station joins the first.
We arrive well before the party begins, so the oven is blazing when the first neighbours step outside. After the last pizza, a little over two hours later, the truck leaves the street without a trace: waste, wood and equipment all go with it. The next morning your street looks just as it always does.
