Can you bake on a roof terrace in Brussels?

That depends on the building. The wood-fired oven needs open air for the smoke and firm, level ground. We discuss it beforehand with the manager or the building’s property syndic and look at how the equipment will get up there, by lift or stairs.

Does your team speak French and English with the guests?

Yes. In Brussels we work in Dutch, French or English, depending on the group. We also give the allergen list and the explanation of the pizzas in whichever language is most convenient for your guests.

Is a narrow city garden behind a townhouse big enough?

Often it is. The smallest set-up is a three-by-three-metre tent on a level spot. What matters is that the equipment can pass through the hallway or a back gate, with a passage of about two and a half metres, or smaller by arrangement.

What does the low-emission zone mean for you?

The low-emission zone applies throughout the Brussels region. We take it into account when choosing and planning our vehicles, so as the organiser you have nothing to arrange.

Pizza catering in the Brussels-Capital Region

Nineteen municipalities, dozens of nationalities and just as many ways of celebrating. Our pizza catering adapts, whether you have a townhouse garden in Etterbeek or a residence in Uccle at your disposal.

Service in your language

Guests are addressed in Dutch, French or English. We explain the menu and the allergens in whichever language your group understands best.

A table for everyone

An international crowd brings very different eating habits. There is always something vegetarian; should you want vegan or gluten-free pizzas, those get a workspace of their own.

Compact and polished

A Brussels city garden is rarely big. The three-by-three-metre tent is often enough, and around the oven we keep everything tight and tidy.

Celebrating in a city of nineteen municipalities

Anyone organising a party in Brussels rarely deals with just one kind of guest. A birthday in Ixelles brings together neighbours, colleagues from a European institution and friends from overseas. A corporate reception in the European Quarter mixes diplomats with start-ups. Pizza works remarkably well in that setting: everyone knows it, nobody feels like a stranger, and the fire gives you a topic of conversation that needs no translation.

The venues vary enormously too. In the centre and in Saint-Gilles they are often townhouses with a narrow, deep city garden or a roof terrace. In the south and east of the region, towards Uccle, Auderghem and the Woluwes, you find villas with roomier gardens reaching as far as the Sonian Forest. In between are office buildings with inner courtyards and ambassadors’ residences with a formal character.

How an international reception works around the oven

With a multilingual group, guests often trickle in at different times. The aperitivo absorbs that: oven-warm focaccia, bruschetta and a board of antipasti, plus a spritz or Italian wine for those who fancy one. Early arrivals watch the oven reach full strength; latecomers step straight into a lively atmosphere.

After that we switch to pizza in rounds. Each variety is cut into slices and carried around, so conversations are not interrupted by a queue at a buffet. A welcome speech from the host or a toast from the ambassador fits into a pause between two rounds. Tiramisu and cannoli round off the evening when you choose the Full experience.

Access and set-up in the capital

The entire region lies inside the Brussels low-emission zone (LEZ), a factor in how we plan our vehicles. Just as important is practical access: a loading bay at the door, a narrow passage to the garden or a goods lift to the roof. We ask about these details beforehand, and for photos, so the set-up goes smoothly without disturbing the neighbours.

Because the oven burns wood, it needs a spot where the smoke can rise freely: open air, or at most a canopy without walls. On a rooftop or inner courtyard we discuss this in advance with the building management. We arrive roughly ninety minutes ahead, and after a service of two hours, perhaps a touch more or so, we take all the waste away again.

For a reception with above 150 guests we add a second baking station. Smaller gatherings have no minimum: a dinner for fifteen in a townhouse is just as welcome. In a townhouse in Saint-Gilles or Schaerbeek that smaller set-up works surprisingly well: the oven stands in the city garden while the party spreads out over kitchen, living room and terrace.

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!
