How high and how wide does our gate need to be?

That depends on the exact access, which is why we always ask for the width of the gate and the height of the lowest branches. Our technical sheet lists the truck’s dimensions. If it doesn’t fit, we choose a spot on the street or work with a tent.

Can the truck stand on our lawn?

Preferably not on a soft lawn, certainly not after rain: the weight leaves marks. A paved drive, a gravel strip or a parking spot next to the house is better. From there the truck stays clearly visible from the garden and the terrace.

Do we need a permit for a party at our own home?

No. If the truck stands on your own land, no permit is needed. Only if it ends up on the street or the pavement must the organiser request the municipality’s permission through a permit to use public space. We give you the technical details for that.

What happens if it rains?

Then we arrange, in consultation, a party tent or a canopy next to the truck, so your guests can step up dry and we can keep baking in peace. Let us know beforehand whether you have a tent or covered terrace of your own, and we will adapt the set-up to it.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Schilde

Hire a pizza food truck in Schilde

A pizza food truck in Schilde rarely pulls into a car park. It turns up a tree-lined drive, parks beside a villa or a horse stable, and becomes the first thing your guests see when they arrive.

First impression

Parked at the start of the driveway, the truck welcomes your guests with the smell of wood smoke, before they even walk into the garden.

No connections needed

Water, refrigeration and wood are all in the truck. It can therefore stand at the back of the plot too, far from the kitchen or an outdoor tap, without anything missing.

Care for your garden

On grass, gravel or paving we drive carefully. If there is any doubt about the ground’s load-bearing strength, we choose a fixed spot closer to the street.

Lanes, gates and old trees

Schilde is built around greenery. Many villas sit behind a gate at the end of a lane lined with oaks or beeches, and those trees are lovely until you have to drive a tall vehicle under their branches. That is why we always ask about the height of the lowest branches, the width of the gate and whether the drive is gravel, paving or concrete.

With that information we choose the pitch. Sometimes it is next to the garage, sometimes on a paved strip along the lawn, sometimes simply on the street in front of the gate, so the truck is immediately visible to anyone arriving. On private land, and in Schilde that is almost always where we stand, you don’t need a permit.

The truck as the heart of the party

A food truck has something a tent doesn’t: it draws attention. Children press their noses against the hatch to watch the dough disappear into the oven, adults linger for a chat with the pizzaiolo. When guests don’t all know each other, as at a neighbourhood party in ’s-Gravenwezel or an open house, this breaks the ice with ease.

If the truck stands on the street side, it can also serve a larger crowd: the open day of a practice, a small charity event, the annual party of the residents’ association. Should the truck end up on the public road, the council’s permit to use public space becomes necessary. That application is yours to make as the organiser; the technical sheet comes from us.

Practicalities taken care of

Expect us on your drive some ninety minutes before the first pizza. We need that time to bring the wood-fired oven up to temperature and set out the worktops. After that the baking runs for about two hours, perhaps a touch longer, at a pace that suits your guests. With a guest list beyond 150, a second baking station joins the first.

After the last round we tidy up and take everything with us, waste included. All that lingers on your driveway is a faint smell of wood smoke. Not sure the truck suits your place? Snap a few photos of the gate, the drive and the place you’re picturing, and you’ll get honest advice from us.

Heel originele formule, toffe gasten, leuke aankleding en hele lekkere pizza's uit de mobiele houtoven. Hebben hierdoor een erg leuke avond gehad en erg tevreden gasten. Voor herhaling vatbaar ... :-)
