Can you set up on a company site in the port of Ghent?

Yes. A harbour site usually has hard-standing and plenty of space, which is ideal. We need a flat area for the tent and a clear passage of around 2.5 metres. Let us know which safety rules apply on the site and we will take them into account during set-up.

Can it also be at lunchtime, as a lunch for the team?

It can. Service normally lasts two to two and a half hours, but for a lunch with fixed breaks we adapt the pace to your schedule. Do allow for us arriving some ninety minutes ahead of the first slice, since the oven must be fired up first.

Our office has no garden or terrace. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily. An inner courtyard or a piece of car park can do. On public space, such as the pavement outside, the city has to grant a permit to use it, which you request in advance. We look at the options together and say honestly if a spot is unsuitable for a wood-fired oven.

How do we know how much pizza to plan for?

That is our job. You give us the expected number of participants and the time, and we calculate the dough and the number of rounds. For an afterwork where not everyone arrives at once, we spread the baking sessions over the whole service instead of baking everything in the first hour.

Pizza catering for your company party in Ghent

Ghent companies sit in converted warehouses, on campuses and in the harbour, and each of those places needs its own approach. With pizza catering from a wood-fired oven, the afterwork or staff party becomes a moment where colleagues linger.

Planned around the working day

Does your party start at five, after the last meeting? Then the oven is already hot and the first slices go round as soon as the laptops close.

City logistics settled up front

Loading and unloading in the low-emission zone, a place for the vehicle and the route to the set-up spot: we fix all that long before the day itself.

Also for three hundred colleagues

From around 150 people a second baking station joins in, which keeps the queue short even when the whole company gets hungry at the same moment.

Afterwork on the Oude Dokken and in the harbour

Around the old docks, plenty of offices, studios and coworking spaces have appeared in recent years, often with a quay or an inner square at the door. That is a rewarding spot for a wood-fired oven: open air, a hard surface and enough room for a tent. Anyone working further out in the port of Ghent usually has a company site with a spacious car park, which makes the set-up even simpler.

An afterwork has a different rhythm from an evening party. People drift in, some stay an hour, others until the last round. Pizza by the slice suits that well: nobody has to sit down at a table, and anyone who joins later misses nothing. We bake in waves, so there is always something fresh on the board throughout the service.

Driving and parking in a city with a low-emission zone

Ghent has a low-emission zone and a traffic circulation plan that divides the city centre into sectors. For a caterer, that means knowing the route beforehand. We ask you for the exact address, the delivery access and whether there is a loading dock, gate or private car park. With that information we plan the approach and parking, and coordinate with building management where needed.

The fewer surprises on the day itself, the better. A building with strict access control, a quay that is only free in the mornings or a lift too small for our equipment: we would rather hear about it a week ahead than at the barrier. Feel free to send pictures of the entrance and of the corner where the oven could go; it saves us both time.

A menu for an international team

Ghent draws people from everywhere, and you can see it in the dietary requests on an average sign-up list. Vegetarian pizzas are always in the mix; colleagues who are vegan or avoid gluten can ask for a pizza prepared apart. We send an allergen list ahead of time, which HR or the events team can pass on to participants, so nobody has to guess on the night.

Want to give the party a bit more weight? Combine the Aperitivo with the pizza and finish with dolci. Italian drinks such as Aperol or a glass of wine from Italy turn an ordinary Friday into a small celebration. For a short afterwork, Pizza à volonté is often enough, with six to ten varieties coming out one after another.

Voor een familiefeest hebben we gebruik gemaakt van de diensten van Prestigio. Top ervaring. Overheerlijke pizza’s, aangevuld met een paar goede Italiaanse wijntjes😋 Sterk aanbevolen!
