Can the food truck stand in the Ghent low-emission zone?

For events in central Ghent we look beforehand at how to handle the low-emission zone and any delivery windows. We coordinate the route and arrival time with you and the venue, so the truck is in position correctly and on time.

Who applies for the permit for a street fair?

When the truck stands on public ground, you as the organiser ask the municipality for permission to use that space. Our technical sheet simply goes into the same application. If the truck is on your own company grounds or a farmyard, nothing needs to be applied for.

Can the truck stand on a meadow at a farm in the Meetjesland?

If the ground is level and firm, yes. Polder meadows can be boggy after rain; in that case we move to the yard or a concrete area by the stables. Show us photos in advance and we will work out together where the truck can stand safely and where the crowd can best queue.

How smoothly do you serve a large group?

Sliced pizza goes round quickly, so a group is served smoothly. For about 150 people or fewer we use one oven; a bigger turnout gets a second baking station. Tell us in your request how many people you expect and whether they will eat all at once or spread out.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in East Flanders

Hire a pizza food truck in East Flanders

Our pizza food truck drives all over East Flanders: to company sites around the port of Ghent, polder villages in the Meetjesland and hilltop parties in the Flemish Ardennes. Everywhere we bake from the same self-sufficient truck.

Ready for the city centre

For Ghent we take the low-emission zone and delivery windows into account. We discuss loading, unloading and positioning in advance with you and with the venue.

Wind and hills factored in

In the open polder we park the truck out of the wind; in the Flemish Ardennes we look for a level spot without too steep an approach.

Permits without the hassle

On private land, your consent is enough. Standing on a public road needs a public-space permit from you; the technical sheet we supply has the details the municipality asks for.

A truck for public and corporate events

East Flanders has a busy events calendar. Ghent celebrates its city festival in July, Sint-Niklaas has an enormous Grote Markt, and almost every municipality has a street fair, market or neighbourhood party. On such days a food truck works better than a tent: it is in place quickly, stands out at once and keeps throughput high when a lot of people get hungry together.

Companies choose the truck for a staff party in the car park, the opening of a new building or a client day. The fire in the oven draws people together and gives a conversation a natural start. Because we serve pizza by the slice, colleagues walk around and taste without being tied to a table.

A crowd of up to 150 is within one oven’s reach; with more people, a second baking station keeps the line at the hatch short. Between six and ten kinds of pizza alternate, and one of them is always vegetarian. If you eat vegan or gluten-free, let us know beforehand: those pizzas get their own separated work area, and you have the allergen list well before the event.

From Ghent streets to polder roads

In the centre of Ghent a low-emission zone applies, and many streets are narrow or have delivery windows. We go through the route to the exact parking spot together beforehand. Behind a gate in a courtyard, the opening has to be 2.5 metres wide; if there isn’t, we look for an alternative place for the truck in consultation with you.

Outside the city there are other challenges. In the Meetjesland and the Waasland the wind sweeps freely across the flat land, so we park the truck with its back to the wind. In the Flemish Ardennes, narrow sunken lanes and sloping driveways can be tricky. Photos of the place help us judge the approach realistically.

Self-sufficient from set-up to clear-up

The truck has everything on board: water, refrigeration, work surfaces and the wood for the oven. So there is no power cabinet or tap to track down. Lighting the oven takes time, so we pull up an hour and a half before the start. The dough, rested for two to three days, is then ready to be stretched.

When service ends, around two to two and a half hours in, we clear the work area and take the waste with us. On a public square we leave no traces, which matters to the municipality too. If you want to combine the pizza with an aperitivo or Italian drinks, you receive a tailor-made proposal with the menu and all practical arrangements.
