Does pizza catering also work for a short two-hour reception?

Yes, the service lasts a couple of hours in any case. For a shorter reception we propose a compact menu, for example the aperitivo with a few rounds of pizza by the slice.

Our garden in the Driehoek is small. Will the oven fit?

A level corner of around three metres square is enough, plus a side gate or passage 2.5 metres wide that our equipment cart can pass through. In many townhouse gardens that works. Photos help us be sure beforehand.

Where do you unload in the centre of Brasschaat?

Every address in the Driehoek is different. We often stop for a few minutes in front of your house at a time we fix together, after which the vehicle finds a space further along. If anything has to be arranged with the municipality, we look at it well in advance.

Can you also pour drinks at the reception?

Yes, an Aperol spritz on arrival, a bottle of red or white from Italy with the pizza and limoncello to finish. In the tailor-made proposal you can see which combination suits your reception.

Pizza catering in Brasschaat Driehoek

In the Driehoek, the busy heart of Brasschaat, gardens are compact and guests are on the move. Our pizza catering responds with a stand-up reception: antipasti, focaccia and pizza in slices that circulate easily between conversations.

Standing and unforced

A reception in a townhouse garden works without a seating plan. Guests eat pizza slices from the hand, a glass in the other.

Compact set-up

A three-by-three-metre tent is enough. That leaves plenty of room in a town garden for your guests and a small bar.

After the reception, the park

Anyone wanting a stroll after eating has Brasschaat Park around the corner. A reception here need not run long to make an impression.

Receptions in the centre of Brasschaat

The Driehoek is the lively part of Brasschaat, with shops, townhouses and apartments within walking distance of Brasschaat Park and its castle. People who like to entertain live here: a reception for a retirement, a birthday with colleagues, a drink for the neighbours after a move. The gardens are smaller than in Kaart, but often well kept and atmospheric.

For an occasion like that, a standing format works best. Guests come and go, mingle, talk to people they did not know yet. A wood-fired oven suits that perfectly: it gives a natural focal point and, in short rounds, supplies something new to taste, without anybody having to sit down or queue.

How we build a reception

We start with the aperitivo. Focaccia with rosemary from the oven, bruschetta, a board of antipasti, and alongside it Aperol, prosecco or an Italian wine. This first hour is the moment for welcome and speech. If you plan a short speech, this is the time, while the glasses are still full.

Then come the pizzas in slices. We keep the rounds short and varied, so something new is always passing by. A reception generally lasts less long than a dinner; for a shorter event many clients choose just the aperitivo or a limited selection of pizzas. With dolci such as cannoli you end on a sweet note.

Practicalities on a town-centre street

Living in the Driehoek means little space at the door. So we agree a fixed loading slot, unload quickly and then move the vehicle away. The equipment goes to the garden through a side gate or garage; an opening 2.5 metres wide is needed. If that is not possible, we look at an alternative such as an inner courtyard.

The oven burns wood and therefore stands outside or under an open shelter, with free smoke extraction. In a town garden we work out beforehand how to keep the smoke away from the neighbours. A single oven is plenty for most receptions, with room for about a hundred and fifty guests. We make gluten-free and vegan pizzas separately on request.
