Can you cater a party on a roof terrace in Ostend?

That depends on access and load-bearing capacity. The wood-fired oven must stand outdoors or under an open canopy, and the equipment has to get up safely. Send us photos and measurements and we will see together whether the terrace works or a garden suits better.

Is a beach party in Ostend possible?

On the beach the rules of the city and any concession holders apply. A tent and oven need firm, level ground. We discuss access and permissions beforehand with the venue or municipality; often a beach pavilion or a spot along the sea wall is simpler.

How early do you arrive in the busy summer months?

Heating the dome takes the wood a solid ninety minutes, so that is normally how far ahead we arrive. In July and August we build in extra margin for Ostend, so traffic jams on the coastal roads or crowds around the sea wall don’t affect your party.

Can we combine pizza à volonté with a dessert?

Yes, with the Full experience. After the pizza comes a dolci round with tiramisu and cannoli. You can also choose just the Aperitivo or just pizza à volonté, and round it off with Aperol, limoncello or Italian wines.

Pizza catering in Ostend

Ostend has always had a touch of grandeur, from the Venetian Galleries to the Wellington racecourse. Our pizza catering fits that tradition without turning stiff: a wood-fired oven, pizzas to share and an evening where guests wander around and keep talking.

Sunset scheduled in

On the coast the sun sinks into the sea. We gladly time the baking rhythm around the moment everyone wants to step outside to watch it.

Sheltered from the breeze

Sea wind in Ostend is more rule than exception. The oven gets a quiet corner, with a party tent or canopy if the weather calls for it.

From focaccia to cannoli

Choose the Full experience and the evening runs from focaccia and Aperol through pizza à volonté to tiramisu and cannoli with the coffee.

Celebrating in the queen of seaside resorts

In Ostend you find almost every type of party venue: townhouses with a garden behind the sea wall, new apartments with roof terraces on the Oosteroever, villas in Mariakerke and halls overlooking the harbour. In Stene and towards Bredene, too, there are homes with a garden big enough for a party tent with a wood-fired oven under it.

What all these places share is the closeness of the sea. That means salt in the air, wind that can turn quickly and summer evenings that stay light longer than inland. A party around a wood-fired oven feels especially good here for just that reason: glow and warmth set against a fresh breeze drifting in from the beach.

How an Ostend evening unfolds

Guests walk in and are handed a glass and a bruschetta. If you choose the Aperitivo, warm focaccia slides straight out of the oven to join them, along with a board of antipasti made with ingredients from Italy. That first hour is relaxed: people stand, chat and watch the fire dancing in the dome.

Then the pizza à volonté starts. We bake six to ten varieties, cut them into wedges and carry them round, so everyone can taste without being stuck at a table. At a birthday or anniversary we pause for a speech or a toast. Two to two and a half hours later the last wedge has been shared and our team quietly starts packing up.

Allowing for wind, crowds and access

A wood fire needs open air, or at most an open canopy where the smoke can escape underneath. In Ostend we therefore first look at the wind direction on site: a garden behind a row of houses behaves differently from a terrace right by the sea wall. If in doubt, we look together for a spot against a wall or hedge.

Reachability matters too. In the town centre streets are busy and parking spaces scarce, especially in July and August or during big events. We agree unloading beforehand with the venue or the city. A 2.5-metre clear access to the set-up spot makes building up much simpler.
