Can the wood-fired oven stand in an ordinary villa garden in Gerpinnes?

Usually, yes. We need a level spot for the marquee, 3×3 or 4×4 metres, and an access width of roughly 2.5 metres to get equipment there. If your garden slopes, we look for the flattest part or place the oven on the terrace or driveway.

Won’t the smoke and smell bother the neighbours?

A wood-fired oven mainly gives off some smoke during lighting. Together we choose a spot where it can drift away freely, not under a closed canopy and not right by the neighbours’ windows. It does no harm to tell your neighbours in advance, or to offer them a slice of pizza.

Does pizza catering work for a First Communion party full of children?

Very much so. Children find it fascinating to see the oven at work, and pizza in small slices is easy to eat. We keep simple flavours for the youngest and serve other varieties for the adults. Please pass on any allergies beforehand.

Do you also come to Ham-sur-Heure-Nalinnes, Thuin or Walcourt?

Yes. Those neighbouring municipalities of Gerpinnes are simply part of our area, like the rest of Belgium and the Benelux. Tell us where you live, how many people you are inviting and what you are celebrating; we will build a proposal with menu and practical arrangements.

Pizza catering by Prestigio in Gerpinnes

Pizza catering in Gerpinnes

In the green villa districts of Gerpinnes, social life happens in the garden at home. With our pizza catering that garden becomes an Italian trattoria for one evening, without you standing in the kitchen.

A garden party without stress

We set up, bake and clear away. You welcome your guests in the garden and enjoy the aperitivo, pizza and dolci along with them.

For young and old

Communions, coming-of-age celebrations and sixtieth birthdays bring children and grandparents together; shareable pizza slices make it easy for everyone.

Mindful of the neighbours

In a quiet residential street we choose the oven’s spot so smoke can rise and disperse freely, leaving the neighbours undisturbed.

Living and celebrating south of Charleroi

Gerpinnes sits on the transition from urban Charleroi to the rolling countryside of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse. Many residents have a roomy villa with a garden, surrounded by trees and hedges. It is a municipality where parties happen behind the front door: a communion lunch on the lawn, a birthday under the pergola, a summer evening with the neighbours.

Around Whitsun, Gerpinnes revolves around the Marche Sainte-Rolende, one of the folklore marches of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse, with processions in uniform through the villages. Family come to visit on those days, and a garden party after the procession is the obvious thing to do. If you are planning such a moment, tell us in good time.

How a garden party with pizza unfolds

Well before your guests arrive, our team sets up the marquee on a level patch of lawn or terrace. The wood-fired oven needs about ninety minutes to reach the right heat. Meanwhile the Aperitivo is ready: focaccia fresh from the fire, bruschetta with tomato and antipasti, with an Aperol spritz or a chilled glass of prosecco.

As soon as the last guests wander in, the pizza à volonté opens: six to ten kinds, cut into slices and carried from table to table, so children find their margherita and adults can try the bolder flavours. After a couple of hours we switch to tiramisu and cannoli, and then our equipment and rubbish disappear from your garden again.

A menu that suits your garden party

No two garden parties are alike, and neither are two menus. For a short reception after a ceremony the Aperitivo may be enough; for a full evening, choose the Full experience. Italian wines, Aperol and limoncello round things off. The proposal you receive after your enquiry sets out the menu and all practical arrangements together.

Dietary wishes are simply part of it. Vegetarian pizzas are standard, and for vegan or gluten-free guests we work in a separate zone on request. You get the allergen list beforehand, so you can reassure the parents of children with allergies. There is no lower limit on guests: an intimate party of fifteen is welcome too.

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…
