Pizza catering in Maasmechelen
At a glance
Across the border
Dutch family, German colleagues, friends from Maastricht: pizza in slices to share works for everyone, wherever they come from.
Mining heritage in Eisden
The garden district of Eisden, once built for the miners, has generous gardens behind characterful houses. A lovely spot for a wood-fired oven.
Unhurried pace, long evening
Aperitivo, pizza à volonté and dolci spread across a couple of hours, so the conversation is never interrupted by a rigid schedule.

A company from two banks
On the Meuse the border is never far away. Many families in Maasmechelen, Lanaken or Dilsen-Stokkem include Dutch members, and at a birthday or wedding the in-laws from South Limburg simply join the table. That makes for a party with two kinds of humour, two accents and sometimes two opinions about when dessert should arrive.
A buffet with fixed plates then works less well than something you share. With Pizza à volonté, six to ten kinds of pizza go round in slices, and everyone picks what they like. The wood-fired oven stands in plain view, so guests who don’t yet know each other immediately have a talking point: the fire, the dough, the pizzaiolo at work.
Maasmechelen also attracts corporate events with an international audience. For a client reception or team evening we put together a menu that works for people from different cultures: familiar classics, a few bolder flavours and always some vegetarian choices. Vegan or gluten-free pizzas are prepared on request in a separated zone, and an allergen list comes beforehand.
The evening on the Meuse
We start with an aperitivo: antipasti, bruschetta and focaccia straight from the fire, plus Aperol or Italian wine. On a summer evening in a garden along the Meuse that can easily last half an hour, and that is exactly the idea. The oven was lit 90 minutes earlier, so the pizzas are ready the moment you give the signal.
Then the rounds of pizza follow, and with the Full experience you end on tiramisu, cannoli and a limoncello. Count on a couple of hours of service in all, sometimes a little more. A speech, a dance or a game for the children we slot into the pauses, so the oven never falls silent at a moment when everyone is hungry.


From garden district to country estate
In the garden district of Eisden the houses from the mining era stand among rows of trees, often with a deep garden. There we put a three-by-three metre tent at the back and let the oven burn outside. Elsewhere in the municipality there are estates bordering the heathland of the national park, where a 4×4 metre tent stands on a lawn or terrace.
Our sourdough rises for two to three days without commercial yeast, and the ingredients come from Italy. There is no minimum number of guests; once around a hundred and fifty people are on the list, a second baking station is added. In rain we work under a party tent or canopy, always in consultation with you or with the venue.
Wij hebben onlangs gebruikgemaakt van Prestigo Catering en kunnen niet anders dan een absolute topbeoordeling geven. Vanaf het eerste contact tot het afronden van het feest was alles uitmuntend geregeld. De communicatie vooraf verliep vlot…
