Can you bake on an office terrace in the European Quarter?

If the terrace is open to the sky and can bear the weight of the setup, yes. We often opt for an inner courtyard or the street side of the building. Have the facility manager send us the options and the access rules in advance.

How do you deal with the Brussels low-emission zone?

The LEZ applies across the entire region, and we factor it into the planning, as well as the limited loading bays on many streets. Send us the address and any instructions from the venue, and we prepare the approach.

Can you adapt the menu to religious dietary habits?

We discuss beforehand which ingredients your guests do not eat and put the menu together on that basis, for instance with vegetarian pizzas and no pork. That way everyone can join in without a doubt. You receive the allergen list in advance, handy to forward.

Do you also work in the Flemish periphery around Brussels?

Yes. Municipalities such as Tervuren, Overijse, Zaventem or Grimbergen border the region, and there the space is often bigger: gardens, farms and estates. We work all over Belgium, so even further from the capital you are welcome.

Pizza catering in Brussels

Brussels counts nineteen municipalities, two official languages and guests from every corner of Europe. Pizza catering works surprisingly well here: Neapolitan pizza is a language everyone speaks, whether you are hosting a team in the European Quarter or family in a garden in Uccle.

International guests

A group of ten nationalities has very different eating habits. Vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free: we prepare it and send an allergen list beforehand.

LEZ across the whole region

The low-emission zone applies in all nineteen municipalities. We agree approach, loading bay and parking with the venue beforehand, so set-up runs calmly.

Formal or relaxed

A reception for partners calls for discretion and polished service, a garden party in Auderghem can be looser. The crew adjusts its tempo and presentation.

Offices, residences and receptions

In the European Quarter, around the Rue de la Loi and the Cinquantenaire park, most events are business: a networking reception after a conference, a colleague’s farewell, a summer drink on an office terrace. Guests stand, talk and have little time. Small pieces of pizza and an Aperitivo of focaccia, bruschetta and antipasti suit that better than a seated dinner.

For embassies and residences the crew works discreetly. Presentation stays understated, the work area orderly, and we follow the timing of protocol: first the welcome, then the speech, then the pizzas. Discuss beforehand which ingredients your guests avoid for religious or personal reasons; we adapt the menu accordingly.

Townhouses with gardens, from Ixelles to Watermael-Boitsfort

Behind the stately facades of Ixelles, Saint-Gilles and Etterbeek lie long, narrow gardens. They are ideal for a birthday or a dinner with friends, provided we can get in. Often the only route runs through the hallway or the cellar; that is why we ask beforehand how wide the narrowest passage is. A photo makes a lot clear.

Towards Uccle, Watermael-Boitsfort and the Woluwes the gardens grow larger and greener, with the Sonian Forest or the Bois de la Cambre close by. A complete Full experience suits there: aperitivo on the terrace, Pizza à volonté under the trees, tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. The oven stands on the grass or a level driveway, under an open tent.

In the Flemish periphery, from Tervuren to Overijse, you find castle estates and villas with generous gardens. Larger gatherings come together there, for a wedding or an anniversary, and there is room for a second baking station when the guest count demands it. The oven often sits on the gravel in front of a coach house or on a lawn overlooking the park.

Practicalities in the capital

The Brussels-Capital Region is entirely a low-emission zone. Parking bans, tram tracks and one-way streets also come into play when unloading. We ask for the exact municipality, the type of building and any access codes. If we have to load in the street, we arrange with the venue or the municipality beforehand where we may stop briefly.

When you enquire, also let us know who our contact is on the day itself, and which language they prefer to communicate in. At large corporate events, where guest numbers climb quickly, we bring in a second oven. When it is over we pack everything away, rubbish included, and the venue is straight away ready again.

Wij hebben Prestigio ingeschakeld voor onze huwelijksreceptie in onze tuin (voor plus minus 85 personen). Alle communicatie vooraf was zeer duidelijk en snel. De dag zelf verliep alles super vlot: het opstellen van de tent, werkblad en…
