Can you cater our school’s gala in Uccle?

Gladly. We tune the flow to the parents’ committee’s programme, with room for speeches, an auction or performances. For big galas we provide a second baking station. That lets the parents’ committee concentrate on the guests.

How do you handle children at a family party?

First comes a round of simple pizzas for the children. Then the rounds for the adults follow. That way everyone eats at their own pace and the party stays relaxed.

Is there enough choice for guests with allergies?

Yes. Vegetarian pizzas are always provided; for pupils or parents who eat gluten-free or vegan, we bake a pizza of their own on request in a shielded corner of our workspace. An allergen list reaches you beforehand, ready to pass on to the parents.

Where do you put the oven if there is little parking?

Preferably on your own grounds, in the garden or on the school campus. We unload quickly in the avenue and then park so that neighbours and guests are not obstructed.

Pizza catering by Prestigio in Prince d’Orange

Pizza catering in Prince d’Orange

Broad avenues, villas with park gardens and schools that bring an international community together: in Prince d’Orange many parties revolve around families. Our pizza catering gives a school gala or family party a warm, shared meal around the wood-fired oven.

For the school community

A gala or end-of-year party for parents and teachers loosens up with pizza in rounds. Everyone eats the same, whatever their language or background.

Children and parents together

Children get an early round of simple flavours, after which the parents taste six to ten varieties at a calmer pace.

Client evening in a villa

Businesses and freelancers in the district like to receive clients at home. A wood-fired oven in the park garden gives such an evening a personal touch.

A district built around avenues and schools

The Prince d’Orange district, in the south of Uccle, grew up around a broad, stately avenue. Along that avenue and the side streets stand villas with large park gardens, and the neighbourhood is popular with international families who live here for the schools and the nearness of the Sonian Forest. Fort Jaco, the Observatory and the centre of Uccle are close by.

Social life in Prince d’Orange revolves to a large extent around those schools. Parents organise galas, end-of-year parties and fundraisers, and families celebrate birthdays with classmates from all over the world. Client evenings and receptions often take place in the villas themselves. A wood-fired oven in the garden suits all those moments, because it brings people together around something simple and universal.

A school gala around the wood-fired oven

Parents and teachers are welcomed with focaccia from the oven, bruschetta and some antipasti; an Aperol or an Italian red goes well with that. Meanwhile the parents’ committee can greet guests, sell raffle tickets or announce an auction without the food getting in the way. Anyone arriving by bike or on foot from the district’s avenues finds something to eat and drink straight away.

When the children are there, we first bake a round of simple pizzas for them, such as a margherita. Then follow the rounds for the adults, with six to ten varieties in slices for sharing. If the head teacher is giving a speech or an auction moment comes, we pause briefly and pick up the rhythm again afterwards. Vegetarian is always included, and we coordinate allergies in advance.

Under the Full experience the gala gets a sweet closing round of tiramisu and cannoli. After the auction or prize-giving the parents sit back for a while, while the children run across the grounds. A gala in Prince d’Orange thus often ends later than planned, which is usually a good sign.

Parking in the avenue and setting up on your own grounds

Parking in the avenue itself is limited, especially on an evening when many guests come by car. We therefore prefer to put the oven on your own grounds: in the villa’s garden or on the school’s campus. A level spot for a tent of four metres at most, open to the sky for the smoke, and a passage of two and a half metres are enough.

We arrive well before the gala to set up, and unload quickly so the avenue is not occupied for long. After a service of two hours or a touch more, all the waste goes with us. For a gala beyond 150 guests we bring in a second baking station.
