Pizza catering in Koksijde
At a glance
No kitchen stress
In a holiday home the kitchen is often small. We bake outside in the wood-fired oven, so you stay with your guests instead of at the sink.
Out of season too
A birthday in October or a New Year party at the second home: with a party tent or canopy the oven bakes all year round.
From grandchild to grandparent
Shareable slices of pizza, vegetarian options as standard and tiramisu to finish: that way every generation at the table finds something to its taste.
Koksijde, the dunes and the second homes
Koksijde has the highest dunes on the Belgian coast, with the Hoge Blekker as its best-known peak, and a long tradition as a holiday destination for families. A large share of the homes in Koksijde-Bad and Sint-Idesbald are not lived in all year round, but are places where families come together for holidays, birthdays and long weekends.
That makes for its own kind of party. The guest list is family and friends staying the night, the programme is looser than at a wedding and nobody wants to spend the whole day in the kitchen. A wood-fired oven in the garden takes that work over and at the same time becomes the spot where the children keep hanging around.
An afternoon that slips into evening by itself
Family parties by the sea often begin after a walk on the beach or a bike ride through the dunes. Once everyone is back, the Aperitivo is ready: warm focaccia from the oven, bruschetta, antipasti and, for the adults, an Aperol or some Italian wine. The youngest meanwhile watch wide-eyed as the dough disappears into the oven.
Then the pizzas come to the table in rounds, cut into pieces so everyone can pick what they fancy. There is no strict schedule; we bake as long as there is hunger, within the two-to-two-and-a-half-hour service. Did you go for the Full experience? Then tiramisu and cannoli join in as it slowly gets dusky outside.
Setting up in a dune garden
Dune gardens are beautiful but rarely flat, and the soil is often loose sand. For our tent we look for an even patch of at least three by three metres, such as a terrace or driveway. Access counts as well: a 2.5-metre clear passage between street and set-up spot makes bringing in the oven a lot easier.
The wood-fired oven gets a place in the open air, with the smoke directed away from the neighbours’ windows. In residential streets with many holiday homes we keep things compact and tidy. Afterwards all the rubbish goes back with us, so the next morning you can simply have breakfast instead of tidying up.
Wij hebben niets dan lof voor Prestigio. Prima communicatie, duidelijke afspraken en heerlijke antipasti en pizza’s.
Wij zijn Mathieu en Chloë dankbaar dat ze ons op zo’n korte termijn konden helpen. Woensdag eerste contact en zondag erna…
