Pizza catering in Ixelles
At a glance
Small footprint, big effect
A narrow garden behind a townhouse or a roof terrace is enough. The oven takes up little room and instantly becomes the centre of the party.
Plant-based without effort
In Ixelles many guests eat vegetarian or vegan. We plan plenty of plant-based pizzas, so nobody goes home hungry.
Rounds in a packed garden
When guests stand shoulder to shoulder, we carry the pizza round in slices. Nobody has to squeeze through the crowd to a buffet.
Celebrating between Flagey and the ponds
Ixelles is one of the liveliest municipalities in Brussels. Around Place Flagey and the Ponds of Ixelles stand townhouses with art nouveau façades, behind Avenue Louise lie stately apartments, and in Matonge and around Châtelain there is a buzz of cafés, galleries and studios. The residents are just as diverse: Brusselers of the old school next to expats, creatives and young families.
Parties here often take place in small spaces: a city garden five metres wide and twenty deep, a roof terrace overlooking the rooftops of Brussels, the inner courtyard of a gallery or studio. That is exactly where a wood-fired oven works well. It gives warmth and light in an enclosed space and draws guests outside who would otherwise stay indoors at the kitchen table.
How an evening in a city garden unfolds
Because space is limited, we let the aperitivo circulate instead of putting it on a table. Small pieces of focaccia from the oven, bruschetta and bites of antipasti are handed round while guests sip an Aperol or Italian wine. That keeps the garden free for standing, talking and moving.
Then come the pizzas, one kind at a time, cut into slices for sharing. In Ixelles we provide a generous vegetarian selection, and anyone eating vegan gets their own pizzas on request, prepared separately. In between there is room for a speech, a DJ set or a spontaneous dance. We follow the mood and adjust the rhythm of the rounds to it.
Add the Full experience and tiramisu and cannoli follow. After a full two hours everyone has eaten and the party can carry on indoors or on the roof. In a townhouse by the Ponds of Ixelles the party then often moves into the living room, while outside we let the oven cool and pack up quietly.
Passage, roof and neighbours
The biggest practical question in Ixelles is the way to the garden. Many townhouses have no back gate, so everything has to go through the hallway or the home. That is why we ask for photos and the width of the narrowest passage. On a roof terrace we check with the building management whether there is a lift and whether the oven can stand there safely, with the smoke rising freely.
Ixelles lies in the Brussels low-emission zone, and parking at the door is rarely simple. We plan our vehicle and the unloading in advance, work quickly and keep the pavement clear. After the party all our waste goes with us, so the neighbours remember only the smell of fresh pizza. That, too, is part of Ixelles.
Wij gaven een verjaardagsfeest waar Prestigio Catering het eten tot in de puntjes heeft verzorgd. Als voorgerecht kozen we voor de charcuterieplank, de focaccia en de bruschetta — stuk voor stuk overheerlijk! Alles was supervers en werd…
