Can the truck stand at the finish of a cycling race?

Yes, on a square or car park next to the course. We agree with the organisers when we drive in, because the streets are closed during the race. We prefer to arrive well before the start, so the oven is hot by the time the crowd streams in.

Who applies for the permit for a spot on the village square?

The organising committee, with the municipality of Zandhoven, often together with the permits for the race or fair itself. We provide the truck’s technical sheet. On a club’s grounds or on private land no permit to use public space is needed.

Can you stay for a whole race day?

Our standard service covers about two hours, with some slack up to two and a half. For a longer day with several peaks, for example a youth race in the afternoon and the main race later, we discuss beforehand what is feasible and make a proposal tailored to your programme.

How many spectators can you serve?

Large numbers are no problem. From a hundred and fifty diners we bake with a second station added, so the queue stays limited. Give us an estimate of the expected crowd and the moments it gets busy, and we will plan the rhythm accordingly.

Pizza food truck by Prestigio in Zandhoven

Hire a pizza food truck in Zandhoven

A cycling race that roars through the village three times an hour, a fair on the square in Pulle, a tournament at the football club in Viersel: our pizza food truck in Zandhoven stands where the crowd gathers and waits for the next pass.

At the course

At a race the crowd gathers at the finish and in the bends. A truck in the right spot serves spectators between two passes.

Crowds in waves

After a lap, after the match, after the presentation: people don’t arrive evenly. We agree the peaks and then run at full power.

Nothing to connect

A water tank, refrigeration, worktops and the wood for the oven all travel in the truck. The party committee needn’t roll out a cable or hose.

Race day in the village

In the villages of the Kempen a cycling race goes with the fair like beer goes with the bar. In Zandhoven’s villages too, a race passes the church, through narrow streets and across the village centre, with a crowd that stays outdoors for hours. Anyone getting hungry then wants something hot without missing the finish. A slice of pizza in the hand is perfect for that.

The course determines where the truck can stand. Right on the route is out, but a square or car park by the finish zone works fine. Because the streets are often closed then, we agree beforehand with the organising committee what time we drive in: well before the start, while the road is still open, and we leave only when the crowd barriers are gone.

Squares in Pulle, Pulderbos and Viersel

Each village in the municipality has its square or church surroundings where fairs, flea markets and village parties take place. A truck on such a square is standing on public space. The organiser then obtains the municipality’s permit to use public space, preferably alongside the other applications for the event. You can add our technical sheet with the truck’s dimensions to that file.

If the truck stands on the grounds of a sports club, a school or a private yard, no permit is needed. There we do watch the ground: a club car park in paving is ideal, a grass field by the canteen less so. At a football tournament we put the truck at the edge, with the serving side facing the terrace and the smoke away from the pitches.

Pace for a big crowd

At a race or fair it can get busy. That is why we keep the menu compact, six to ten flavours with vegetarian options always included, and bake at a fixed rhythm. If the committee expects more than a hundred and fifty hungry supporters, a second baking station comes along. Vegan and gluten-free pizzas can be made on request, prepared separately. One service covers around two hours, with a little room beyond; for a longer race day we make a tailor-made proposal.

After the last pass and the last pizza we sweep our piece of the square clean and the waste goes back into the truck. For a party committee that still has to take down crowd barriers and tents in the evening, that is one worry less. The only thing left behind is the story about that pizza at the finish.
