Pizza catering in Keerbergen
At a glance
Light from the fire
When dusk falls under the trees, the glow of the wood-fired oven becomes the warmest point in the garden. Guests linger there without being asked.
An evening without rush
Aperitivo, pizza and dolci follow one another unhurriedly. The rounds adapt to the rhythm of your guests, not the other way round.
A menu to suit your group
You choose the formula that fits: aperitivo only, pizza à volonté or the Full experience with tiramisu, cannoli and Italian drinks.
A party in a woodland garden
Anyone living in Keerbergen often has a garden that looks more like a patch of forest than a lawn. Tall pines, birches and oaks let the light play on the sandy soil, and among the trees there is room for long tables and a lounge around a fire bowl. Parties get space here: a fiftieth birthday, a garden wedding, a summer party with the neighbours from the avenue.
That setting calls for catering that does not intrude but still adds something. A wood-fired oven does that: the crackle of the wood, the smell of fresh focaccia and the glow that strengthens at nightfall all suit the woods. Your guests feel as if they are on an Italian estate, even though the Dijle is only a walk away.
From the first glass to the last cannolo
The evening opens with an aperitivo. While your guests arrive and find their way between the trees, boards of antipasti and bruschetta go round. Focaccia with rosemary and sea salt comes out of the wood-fired oven. An Aperol spritz goes well with it, or a cool white from Italy. So arriving in a woodland garden settles by itself into a relaxed rhythm.
Once everyone is there, the pizza à volonté begins. We bake variety after variety, each cut into pieces for sharing, so nobody gets a whole pizza that goes cold halfway. If someone wants to sing a song, make a speech or hand over a gift, it fits neatly between two bakes. We keep an eye on what is happening and keep the tempo in hand.
Dolci round things off: tiramisu, cannoli and a little glass of limoncello to carry the evening on. Count on a solid two hours of service. Anyone not yet ready to go home moves over to the fire bowl among the pines, and often half the party stays there until the last glow of the oven has faded.
Sandy soil, roots and a level spot
Keerbergen’s sandy soil is lovely, but not always level. Tree roots, patches of moss and soft spots make choosing the right place for our square tent, three or four metres a side, important. A terrace, a paved drive or a firm stretch of lawn usually works best. Smoke has to escape freely, so the oven never goes under a closed roof and keeps its distance from low-hanging branches and dry needles.
Building and firing up takes us around ninety minutes, so we pull into your drive well before the first doorbell. When the oven dies down we clear up; the waste leaves with us, and the woodland garden is quiet again the next morning. Where our vehicle can stand, on the drive or at the edge of the avenue, we agree with you in advance.
