Pizza catering in Kapellen

Parties among the trees
Many gardens in Kapellen merge into pine and birch woods. Between those trunks the wood-fired oven burns like a campfire that everyone gathers round.
Heather season
In late August and early September the heath turns purple. An ideal moment for an outdoor party that carries on well into the evening.
Small or large
Twenty neighbours or two hundred invited guests: there is no minimum, and above a hundred and fifty guests a second station bakes alongside so nobody waits for their turn.
Living among the pines
Kapellen has a distinctive character. North of Antwerp, past Ekeren, the streets get greener and the plots larger. Villas and country houses sit hidden among pines, birches and rhododendrons, often on the sandy soil you also find further on towards Kalmthout. Putte, on the border, even shares its centre with Putte in the Netherlands. That mix makes parties here informal and strongly outdoor-oriented.
Sandy soil has an advantage: it drains well, so after a shower there is rarely standing water on the lawn. It can be loose and uneven, though. For our tent we look for a level patch, possibly on the terrace or the drive, and we place the oven outside where the smoke can drift away between the trees without getting caught in the branches.
From aperitivo to the last slice
A party in Kapellen often starts loosely. Guests stroll or cycle in, some fresh from a trip across the heath. We make sure there is something to eat straight away: crisp focaccia, bruschetta with tomato and basil, a board of Italian charcuterie and cheese. A glass of prosecco or an Aperol makes the welcome complete.
After that we let the pizzas come out in shareable rounds. Pizza à volonté here doesn’t mean everyone gets a whole pizza on their plate, but that new slices keep appearing on the table, from a classic margherita to an autumn version with mushrooms. Anyone with room left finishes with tiramisu or a cannolo, and a limoncello for those who like one.
Occasions in Kapellen and Putte
In the northern fringe it is often parties centred on the family or a circle of friends: a First Communion, a milestone birthday, a retirement party or the neighbourhood’s annual dinner. But a company from the port area that wants to take its clients out of the industrial surroundings for a while will also find a surprising setting in a green garden in Kapellen.
Whatever it turns out to be, we put the menu together with you to measure. Vegetarian options come as standard; gluten-free or vegan guests get their pizzas baked separately in a dedicated work zone. You get an overview of the allergens beforehand. That way you don’t have to reassure anyone on the day itself and can simply enjoy your own party.
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…
