Is a pizza party suitable for a children’s birthday?

Certainly. Children find it fascinating to watch the oven at work, and pizza in pieces is easy to eat. We take allergies and dietary needs into account, and send an allergen list beforehand that you can share with the other parents.

Our guests speak several languages. How do you handle that?

The team serves in Dutch, French or English. We gladly tell guests which pizzas are on the table, so those with dietary needs know what they can take. Even someone who speaks no Dutch at all knows exactly what they are eating.

Can we hold a client event in our garden?

Yes. A business reception at home gets a personal character from a wood-fired oven. We agree the programme beforehand, with a polished Aperitivo, pizza rounds and, if you wish, dolci and Italian drinks.

What if it rains on the day of the party?

The fire always stays outside, but diners can happily eat indoors or under a party tent. We discuss a plan B beforehand, so a shower does not spoil the party and the children can keep playing.

Pizza catering in Chenois

Chenois belongs to the most residential part of Waterloo, with villas, well-kept gardens and many international families. Our pizza catering turns a birthday or client event at home into an Italian party around the wood-fired oven.

A children’s party with fire

Children love standing by the oven to watch their pizza puff up in the flames. A birthday instantly becomes an experience.

Guests from everywhere

Relatives from abroad, neighbours from the avenue, classmates from the international school: we serve everyone in Dutch, French or English.

Client evening at home

A reception for business contacts in your own garden gets a personal, polished touch with the Full experience.

Living in Chenois

Chenois lies in the green part of Waterloo, with avenues full of villas, large gardens and tall hedges. Many families move here for the calm, the schools and the closeness to Brussels. You hear French, English and Dutch in the street, and at the school gate often a handful of other languages too.

Parties in Chenois are therefore often a blend of cultures. A children’s birthday with classmates from five countries, a family party for which grandparents fly in, or a summer evening for the neighbours. What they share: they take place in the home garden, and the host wants to enjoy it too instead of standing at the stove.

A birthday in your garden

At a children’s party we often start with a simple Aperitivo for the parents: focaccia, bruschetta, some antipasti and a glass of Aperol or wine. Meanwhile the children watch the fire being stoked. As soon as the first pizzas are ready, we cut them into small pieces, so young eaters need not tackle a whole pizza.

For adult birthdays or family parties we take more time. The pizza rounds keep coming for two hours or so, two and a half at most, with flavours you choose with us beforehand. Vegetarian is always on offer; whoever eats vegan or gluten-free says so in advance and gets a pizza made separately from the rest. Tiramisu and cannoli close the party.

Practicalities in a villa garden

Access in Chenois is usually easy, with broad avenues and private parking by the villas. We ask for a level spot in the garden or on the terrace for tent and oven, reachable via a side path or gate 2.5 metres wide. If the lawn is firm, we simply set up on it.

A wood fire belongs outdoors, so the oven goes in the garden or under a canopy without walls. In choosing that corner we watch the wind, so neighbours and your terrace catch no smoke. The team sets up around ninety minutes before service and clears everything afterwards, so your garden is a playground again the next day.
