Can the wood-fired oven go in a courtyard in the centre of Herentals?

Often, yes, provided the courtyard is open to the sky and there is a level spot of at least three by three metres. Beforehand we look with you at how the smoke can escape and how we get the equipment in without crossing your living room.

Where do you park in the town centre?

We agree that address by address. Usually we unload briefly at the door or in a side street and then move the vehicle to a car park. We settle access and parking in advance with you or with the town.

Is pizza catering suitable for a small group too?

Absolutely, there is no lower limit. Fifteen friends in a courtyard behind the Grote Markt work just as well as a garden party of a hundred people in Morkhoven. We adjust the proposal to the size of your party.

How do you deal with allergies?

You receive an allergen list in advance. Gluten-free and vegan pizzas we prepare on request in a separate work zone, so they never touch the regular dough or other ingredients.

Pizza catering by Prestigio in Herentals

Pizza catering in Herentals

Behind the facades around the Grote Markt in Herentals lie courtyards and gardens you would never suspect from the street. Right there our pizza catering sets up its wood-fired oven for an evening that stays close to home.

Small party, warm oven

The courtyard of a town house is intimate. Twenty or thirty guests around one oven, with pizzas passed along from hand to hand.

Smoke with respect for the neighbours

In an enclosed town garden we first work out where the smoke can best rise, so the wood-fired oven causes no nuisance for people living nearby.

A menu to suit the evening

From a walking dinner of antipasti to a complete full experience with tiramisu: we adapt the formula to the space and to your guests.

Parties in the historic centre

Herentals is the town of the Cloth Hall on the Grote Markt, the beguinage and the two surviving town gates, the Zandpoort and the Bovenpoort. Anyone living in that core often has a narrow house with a surprisingly deep garden or a shared courtyard. A spot like that is perfect for a birthday or a dinner with friends where the oven draws the company together.

In a courtyard an evening feels different from a big meadow. Guests stand close to each other and to the oven. You hear the wood crackle, you smell the basil. We bake at an unhurried pace, so everyone can choose whether to take another slice or pause for a moment with a glass of Italian wine.

Practicalities in a town house: access and set-up

In the centre of Herentals, parking at the front door is not a given. So we agree a loading moment in advance and settle with you where we can stop briefly. Our equipment has to pass through an opening at least 2.5 metres wide; a garage door or a side alley often works better than going through the house.

The tent we provide measures 3×3 or 4×4 metres and needs level ground. Paving stones, tiles or a neat lawn are ideal. The oven burns wood and always stays outside or under an open shelter. A fully enclosed veranda is therefore not an option; a pergola without a roof or an open carport usually is.

Beyond the ramparts too: Morkhoven and Noorderwijk

Not every party in Herentals takes place in town. In the outlying villages of Morkhoven and Noorderwijk you find country lanes with farms, villas and meadows. Larger groups can gather there, and many people go for the full experience: aperitivo on arrival, rounds of pizza and a dessert of tiramisu and cannoli.

Even for big groups the dough stays the same: sourdough given two to three days to prove, free of commercial yeast, built on ingredients from Italy. One oven carries a party of about a hundred and fifty; past that, an extra baking station joins in. Vegetarian pizzas are always on offer, and other dietary needs we discuss in the proposal.

De kwaliteit van de pizza’s was uitstekend: vers, smaakvol en voor elk wat wils. Het team was zeer professioneel, vriendelijk en zorgde met een glimlach dat al onze 60 feestvierders vlot bediend werden. De mobiele pizzaovens gaven extra…
