Can you come to the centre during the Gentse Feesten?

That depends strongly on the street and the closures in force. Send us the address and we will see whether the location is reachable. A party just outside the inner city that week is often more practical, for us and for your guests.

How do you reach an address in the low-traffic centre?

Because of the traffic plan you cannot simply drive from sector to sector. We plan the approach via the ring road to the right sector and agree a loading and unloading moment with the venue. The low-emission zone is part of that planning too.

Does a wood-fired oven work in a small courtyard?

Yes, as long as the courtyard has open sky above and the smoke can get away. Allow roughly three metres square for the tent. A photo of the courtyard and the access is enough for us to say whether it fits.

Can you serve a student society or youth club?

Of course. We set no minimum for guests, and pizza in pieces works perfectly for a loose evening with a big crowd. For a turnout of over a hundred and fifty we add a second oven, so the queue stays short.

Pizza catering in Ghent

Ghent lives by the water: the Lys (Leie) and the Scheldt, the quays, the docks that evolved from port to residential district. Pizza catering in Ghent often means baking in a courtyard behind an old facade, or at a garden party on the edge, where the city gives way to the Leie valley.

Knowing the traffic plan

The inner city is divided into sectors and falls within a low-emission zone. Beforehand we work out which side is best for reaching your address.

Courtyards and town gardens

Many Ghent buildings hide a courtyard or garden behind the facade. There the wood-fired oven becomes the heart of a warm, secluded evening.

Dining at length

People in Ghent like to eat at leisure. Pizza à volonté in rounds, with aperitivo first and dolci after, suits that rhythm of long evenings.

Behind the facades of the inner city

In the Patershol, around the Kouter or on the streets towards St Peter’s Abbey, surprisingly spacious courtyards often hide behind narrow frontages. Such an enclosed spot is ideal for a birthday or a small reception: guests stand close together, the walls catch the wind and the fire does the rest. How we get the equipment in is something we settle beforehand.

The traffic plan splits the inner city into sectors, and much of the centre is low-traffic. A low-emission zone applies as well. So give us the exact address and the possible entrances. We plan the approach through the right sector and agree a loading moment, so we are not unloading in the middle of the bustle.

On the water: Old Docks, Lys and Scheldt

The Old Docks are Ghent’s youngest residential and working district, with new buildings, quays and waterside terraces. Corporate receptions and launches like to happen there. We work with an Aperitivo at standing tables, followed by pizzas in small pieces that are easy to eat on your feet. During networking the pace is high; during the speech the crew bakes more slowly.

Further upstream, along the Lys towards Drongen and Sint-Martens-Latem, are villas with gardens down to the water and castle estates with old trees. There it is all about a long summer evening: aperitif by the bank, Pizza à volonté as the sun sets, tiramisu and limoncello once it gets dark and only the glow of the oven gives light.

On a lawn by the water we look for level, firm ground for the tent. After a rainy spell a riverside garden can be boggy; then we look together for higher ground or a terrace. A photo of the garden, preferably with the bank in view, makes that choice much easier.

The Ghent party calendar and what it means

In July, during the Gentse Feesten, the inner city is one big event for ten days. Anyone planning a private party in the centre then should count on closed streets and extra crowds. A location on the edge, in Gentbrugge, Mariakerke or Sint-Amandsberg, is often simpler in that period. It is also busy in the student districts around the start of the academic year.

Outside those peaks, Ghent is a city where people love eating together. A family party in a garden in Drongen, a colleague’s farewell in a courtyard, a wedding in a castle on the Lys: each time we make a tailor-made proposal, with your guests’ dietary needs and timing that fits the programme.

Eind augustus werd mijn verjaardagsfeest verzorgd door Prestigo. De communicatie vooraf verliep erg vlot en duidelijk. Er werd vlot opgesteld in de tuin waarna er aan de aperitiefhapjes werd gestart. De kwaliteit van de producten was erg…
